Manang Tita was a great influence. She was a mentor, adviser, supporter, and more to me. She was one of my closest adviser when we formed the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Solano County, that she served with dignity, pride, and dedication. She was one of my closest supporter during my run for political office. I can never forget her support, her wisdom, and her total commitment in helping me accomplish my goals in life. I will miss her very much.
She will be in my prayers.

Auntie Tita was truly a wonderful woman. She always made me feel part of the family not just because her and Uncle Al had been friends with my parents in Japan, but because I was always with Candice and Didi! Auntie Tita, you are loved and will be missed.
