Ate Chona was already sick last June 2014 when my mother passed away (her aunt). She still found enough strength to come to the funeral even though she stayed in her car. Thank you for being such a selfless human being. I love you ate Chona. I wanted to see you last Thursday when my sister said you were admitted to the hospital, but you had an appointment with God already...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ozaeta and Satingin families.  Words are not enough to comfort you, but know that you are surrounded with love and prayers.  She is now free of pain and at peace in a better place.  Love to all of you.

This past Thursday our Favorite Auntie Chona ™ went to join Our Father in heaven. So many amazing memories with my Auntie. Trips, vacations, the coolest gear from her 'shop'. She got me my first pager, starter jacket, Dooney bag, Guess shirts to name a few. Auntie Chona had an infectious laugh and happy go lucky attitude. She was always there for you. All my big life changes. Our family will not be the same without you. I love you!!! Give Ate & Auntie Myrna a big hug and kiss for me. Watch over us...

My prayers and love go out to all of you. I have such great memories of Chona. Her love for people, her sense of humor and her love for family changed me! She will be missed on this earth,......
Much love
Greg Nethaway

This birthday of mines I had wished to give my life for yours. Crazy right? My heart is especially heavy because you are my God Mother.  You are one of the most amazing & most beautiful persons I have ever set eyes on. Thank you for loving unconditionally, thank you for fighting the good fight & showing me the examples of life. That even in the most trying of times, you
smiled in the toughest situations. You define strength. I am so proud of you & that I was blessed to have spent time with you in your final days. I couldn't stop thinking about how when I was a baby you held me in your arms in comfort, and as I gazed atop your head these past few days I saw your body weakened. I imagined that we had gone full circle, where I held you in my arms as you cried. I was so very fortunate to hear you tell me stories. I love you more than words can ever explain. 

Love you Auntie Chona. 

Your ina anak,
Genny

My Ate Chona was a cheerful, fun-loving lady who was full of life. Her smile could light up a room and made everyone around her happy. Whether it was a funny joke, her positive attitude, or her big smile, she was a delight to be around.

As a child I remember visiting my aunt almost every day so that I can spend a lot of time with my younger cousins James, Matt and CJ., playing and just being kids. Ate Chona was a kid at heart and loved camping with her family. I remember games of hide and seek, her fashion sense, who by the way I learned from, and her constant positive outlook in life. 

As I got older Ate Chona always made an effort to stay involved in my life. She was there at my university graduation, was at my wedding and was one of the first people to reach out to me when things in my life started to fall apart. I really appreciated how much she cared and knew I could always count on her for anything I needed.

When Ate Chona was diagnosed with cancer it was a very difficult time for our entire family. Ate Chona was such a positive and strong lady she never acted down. She was always encouraging us to cheer up and showing us the positives. Most of all, Ate Chona taught my cousins and I the value of self-respect, perseverance and love. 

The last time I visited her in her home, she expressed how much she truly loved her children and grandchildren. She was an incredible sister, aunt, a loving wife, mother and grandmother. I will miss her smile and warm hug. She will be missed by a lot of people. I wish her peace and happiness in the after life.

James, Crystal and family.... Its been a long journey for your lovely mother...Now she can finally have some rest in the presence of Jesus... I'm really glad she had wonderful children like you and your siblings....Praying for you guys in this difficult time... To GOD be the Glory......

I know we've met and seen each other when we were still little girls, I remember your name, Tiya Chona...you're quite chubby then..Rest in Peace and we know you are now with our LORD ALMIGHTY in paradise...Our condolences to our Satingin families....God bless po....

My first memory of Chona was when she sent my mom a scarf on a weekend Casandra was visiting me in LA. It was the early years of our friendship, and  I hadn't met Chona yet but remember thinking "WOW! What a sweet and kind gesture. So this is where Cass gets her kindness from." After Cass left that weekend, my mom and I discussed the scarf in great detail: about how much Chona must love Cass to thoughtfully send an appreciation gift to a semi-stranger for keeping her daughter safe for a weekend. My mom was deeply touched by the gesture, and took it personal to always look out for Cassy. She would scold me if I told her about some of the trips we were planning to "wild cities" like Miami and Vegas, saying "oh gosh Tasha. Please be careful. Cassy's mom would kill us if something happens to her daughter." Chona filled Cassy's life with SOOO much love that it touched everyone around her. Even when Chona wasn't around, she somehow managed to make strangers love Cass and want to care for her and look after her. 

My heart breaks for your family today. Nothing I can say will make the pain hurt less, but I hope you find comfort in knowing what a beautiful human beings you had as a mother. She truly touched so many people with her kindness, generosity, and compassion. 

Sending you all my prayers, love, and thoughts.
