Oh Gi.... Who would have thought Coron 2023 was the last we would be together
You left so suddenly after that.

I am left with memories of our childhood days... you, me and Chu. You were the sisters I never had I will always carry with me the times like when we were kids you taught me not to be afraid of ladybugs ... how to fly a kite ... the weekend walks in baguio as teenagers ...

We miss you terribly - but we are comforted by the thought that now there is no more pain ... that now you are okay

Rest now in God´s embrace dear Gi My love goes with you ...,

Rest now in eternal peace, my dear sister. You are free from pain already. It must be beautiful in the heavens with Papa, Mama, Kuya, Ate and everyone we know who left ahead. You are missed. But I know that that place up there is where we will meet again. I am thankful that we were able to be together in 2023...that I was able to bring you your favorite ube jam from Baguio, a bottle of which you consumed with much gusto. My only regret is that we were never able to get together again after 2023...you planned for Connie and me to travel with you, but you fell ill and never regained strength....I still cry every now and then...i even dreamt of you the other night ... i just can't exactly remember, but you were in my dream. I keep lamenting that now I am really alone but Connie always reminds me there is still the two of us. I am thankful for that. We will always remember the happy and funny times with you. We will always be "Ree, Victor, Wishes!" Rest in heavenly peace, Gigi..... so long.... farewell .....
