To Inay, Itay, Kuya Joejoy, Dodon, MM, Matt, family and friends,
I will always treasure and cherish the times I spent with Chona both in the Philippines and here in El Paso. Recalling those times with you, my friend brings me joy. I am blessed to be a part of your life. I am proud of you. Rest now, my dear friend in the peace of Christ and in the arms of the Blessed Mother Mary. May we, you left behind find comfort and peace in knowing that you are in God's paradise, your true home. I love you, Cho.

To matt and family ,
Saints of God, come to her aid!
Come to meet her, angels of the Lord!

Dear Matt and Family,
Those we love are never really lost to us--
we feel them in so many special ways--
through friends they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love
are never really lost to us--
for everywhere their special love lives on.
~ Amanda Bradley ~
Chona's spirit will forever live in us.

You kept him in line, and helped to make him the person he is today, and for that, I am truly gratefull. You did a great deal for many people and surely God will reward your hard work and assistance to mankind.
My wife, Diana and I will miss you and this world will be a lesser place now that you have gone.
Thank You.
