Dear Flory, Diana, Phil, Jerry and Geno:
I came upon this as I was searching the web for long unseen friends and relatives. I always remember you as my lively stateside cousins when you were still in Baguio. Flory was (capably) playing mom to the younger ones then. Although I never met her, I always thought that you must have come from a wonderful mom.
Take care always,
Nes and family

times with Flory. Rose was a gracious host.

Dear Flory and family:
Our deepest condolescence to all of you and our prayers are with you and your family.
Mom mentioned to me the loss of your mother and I am thankful I found this to send this message.
Your mother was such a very kind person. I will always remember her and Don especially when I would go with Diane to visit them.
Well, she is now in a better place and she is now at peace.
Take care, Flory as you are now the head of your family.
Love, Susan, Obet, Lindsay and Melissa Baleva

Dear Philmore, Flory, Diane, Jerry and Geno,
I send my love to all of you at this time in your lives. I know how hard it is to loose a parent. But be comforted in knowing that our loved ones are now in heaven and looking over us.
I want you all to know that I carried a special place in my heart for your mother. I don't know if you remember, when we all lived on the same street, I would call her "Mommy Rose." And as our lives changed through the years, I was always so happy to see her. She always showed me love and was tickled to see that I was grown, married and had my own family.
She was always very sincere with me, and that is what made her so special!
Again, I send my love and prayers to you all!
Love Cousin Mary
Rose Alice Davis, a woman who will be remembered for her charm and talents.

DO NOT WEEP - a poem of comfort.
Do not stand ay my grave and weep,
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight.
I amd the stars that shine at night.
Do not cry, I am forever near.
In your hearts - I'll always be there.
