Please accept our sincere condolences to your family.
Our exchange of letters and sharing stories for about 20 years will surely be missed. Her motherly, kind, and loving words will remain as beautiful memories.
The lights on her window reflecting to us during the nights was the assurance Elizabeth was at home. Now that it is always dark, we truly feel the emptiness in our hearts. She is not at home and will never be back home.
We are deeply saddened. May your family have God's love and comfort during this time of loss.
May she Rest In Peace in her new home to our Heavenly Father.
-Manny, Marie Bulatao, and Family
