"She made everyone feel at ease and welcome, always knowing what to say and when."

The memory of when I first met you is still so clear... you peeked at me hiding and said, "Jenna, right?"... with a smile that made me feel so, so, sooooo at ease and welcome. From that first moment, you made me feel your unconditional love. I will forever cherish the memories I had with you... National Bookstore, Divisoria, Greenhills, getting washed away on an inflatable raft in the waters of Boracay and getting tugged back to the shore by a speedboat because we were so far out, chocolate cakes specially made just for me with the thickest icing plus extra in a tub, sleepovers in Urda just talking about everything and anything and sleeping when the sun was already out, etc etc etc...

To borrow DingDong´s words, we may have misplaced each other amidst the clutter of our lives but one thing I know for certain is that we never lost the love... we always just had it locked up in our hearts... tweaking a bit what the card that I gave you years ago said... though miles have kept us far apart, love has and will always keep us close at heart...

My deepest condolences to Jo, Sophia, Liv, Isa, Tita Olga, George, Boompy, Tita Lala and Tito Aboy.

Rest in perfect peace now my dearest Manang Ka... I love you so, so very much...
