Tita Ne, thank you for your love and support. Thank you for those wonderful times you shared with me and my cousin Nina at your apartment in Daly City. I still can recall those times when we would spend the night at your apartment and just play with your Nintendo game system(duck hunt and super mario bros). Nina and I cherished those moments with you because we didn't have to share your attention with anyone else but us. Thank you,thank you. I love you and I will miss your presence in all of our family gatherings. Rest and be in peace in the presence of Our Lord and Savior.
