Belated as it may seem, but please accept my condolences dear family of our dear old classmate, Bella. I remember her in the old pictures in the photo gallery as sweet, pretty, kind, always smiling, and quite fun. I haven't heard about her since we graduated from St. Paul high school. It is sad to know about her untimely passing. She will surely be missed. My prayers go especially to her young children and her parents. Be comforted by God's love and mercy. Shalom.

Condolences to the Castrence family. Bea was a childhood friend and we had some good times. So sad I wasnt able to see her when I was in the US in 2010. May your soul rest in peace, my friend.

Bea and I went to the same college (St. Paul, QC) and one couldn't miss her pretty face as we walk past each other in the college corridors. Always bubbly and kind, elegant in her simplicity - - this is how I remember her.

Bella was my big sister when I was in high school and she was in college at St. Paul College, Quezon City. She was my chaperon and we'd have fun every time she'd drive the white volkswagen to school. It is so sad coz I was looking forward to seeing her again this March. You are dearly missed, Bella!. But I know you are at peace now. Our condolences to the Castrence family.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Bella and what I noticed is her genuine personality and her warm welcoming smile. The time I've spent with Bella, even though just moments; reflects how caring and loving she was because she treated me like family. I remember she always offered me a meal when I would visit her daughter. Thank you for showing me that you cared about the simple act of kindness like cooking a meal for a family friend or giving me a snack before I would go to work. Bella's kindness reflects greatly upon her family and I am very fortunate to have had a chance to spend some time with Bella and her daughter.

I will miss Bella greatly. She was a loving, and sweet mother to her children. Bella was beautiful person inside and out. I will always remember the good times, like singing, laughing, and just joking around at the family parties. I love you little Sister.

Words are not enough to express how thankful I am for bringing two beautiful children into this world-her son, of whom I treasure my life with, and her daughter, a sister I can call my own. As a mother, her unconditional love and compassion is what I will remember the most. I always admired how loving a mother she was and I am blessed that I was fortunate to have been included into her family. I can still recall moments when she would fill the house with sweet melodies as she graced the piano with her presence. That is my favorite memory of her. I love you with all my heart and will forever cherish our memories together.

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love."

A cousin my sister and I spent summer vacations with when we were still kids. I will never forget her reaction when we spent the night at the house in Kapitolyo and I began playing Air Supply on their stereo. Our deepest sympathies. I will miss you, Bella. 'Tis a far better place you have gone to.

I did not know Bella T. Castrence very well but I am close to her children. As they took me in like family, I learn to love them as one too. I once read, "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal..." You will always be remembered and always in our heart.
