Marjorie Barretto took to social media to share the moments she shared with her mother, Estrella &quot;Inday&quot; Barretto, before the latter&#x27;s passing.&quot;Our Mom, Estrella &#x27;Inday&#x27; Barretto, passed away peacefully last January 29. It took me some time to post, as I was still processing every emotion while making funeral arrangements. These feelings were made even more raw by the loss of my brother just four months ago,&quot; she wrote on her Instagram page. Marjorie shared that the moments she spent with her mother in her final days are memories she will always cherish.&quot;In every trial that comes my way, I have always felt God&#x27;s guidance, protection, and grace. I felt His grace most during a quiet afternoon a few days ago at the hospital, when I had my mom all to myself for a couple of hours. Just the two of us. Mom trying her best to be her usual chatty self, speaking more slowly, yet with a mind still clear and sharp. Without me even trying to be funny, she laughed so hard at my stories. That time was priceless,&quot; she said.She went on: &quot;But the greatest grace was 2 days after in the morning she passed away. I was in her room with only my sister Michie and Marichi. It was peaceful and quiet. A moment I truly believe God orchestrated and one I will hold close to my heart always.&quot;Marjorie remarked that being by her mother’s side until the end brought her a sense of healing. &quot;They say we don&#x27;t always get closure in life. Knowing God was calling my mom home, I believe He gave me something even greater, the chance to be with her at her bedside, a grace that allowed me to heal,&quot; she said.She went on: &quot;Please keep our beautiful, feisty, strong, funny, and loving Mom in your prayers. She is now with Dad and my brother Mito.&quot;<iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DUKR-dAD3I7/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1816370.800000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="889" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>Marjorie&#x27;s followers online were quick to extend their condolences.&quot;Prayers and condolences to you and the whole family Ms @marjbarretto ❤️,&quot; one fan commented.&quot;My prayers &amp; condolences to you and family!!
