I am forever grateful to you and what you’ve done for me. We’ve talked about death so many times that we both know we are ready. Lahat naman tayo dadating diyan. So much more to say but I’ll just leave it at this. Mahal ka naming lahat na tinulungan at minahal mo. Habambuhay ka sa puso ko. Pls pray for us na naiiwan pa dito. Rest in eternal peace dearest tita Ethel. I love you very much. Don’t worry about me, you’ve taught me so much in life. We’ll be just fine. Hurt, sad but kaya to. Again, rest in peace . You are with our creator now 🙏🏼 Your son, Aga. Ang Dami ko pa gusto sabihin….
