our deepest condolences... to the Laoyan families...

with sympathy,
Salmin Families

From Perly Camacho:
Condolence to all my family...it is sad and hurting news that our beloved auntie passed away.. the best auntie for me and the only sister of mama left and yet she is gone. Didn't even have the chance to visit you imagining when you were younger, strong and active. Thanks for all the advices you have given me when I used to speak to you by phone years ago. We love and miss you a lot. May you rest in peace.

From Connie Pagnas Law:
She's the very auntie of my mom who is residing in the US with family. I stayed with them during my high school days while they were in the Phil. She's a great lola, taught me a lot and I love her deeply.
We are miles and miles distance far-and my deep wish at the moment is to have my last look on your face, whisper things even if you can't hear, but it is okay...you will always be living inside me my dear grandma. You will always be loved, ever since and forever....

From Emy Sumale:

From Ursula Daoey
I write on behalf of the Laoyan Clan Foundation in the Philippines. We all are deeply saddened to hear of Grandma Elvira's passing. We shall always remember her goodness, her kind words for all, and her ready smiles. We were hoping that there soon be a stateside Laoyan reunion to honor her and Grandma Stella-even if it meant identifying each attendant by name constantly. We understand. Well, we continue to hold her in our prayers even as we do know she now is resting in peace. Yes, definitely she leaves a void in our hearts. We miss her already. Uncles, aunties, cousins, nephews and nieces and all other relatives, let us all keep her love burning and let's take care now. We are with you all in spirit and in prayers. With much love!

Rest in peace, lola Elvira

Condolence  to the family....She had a good life... She is in heaven with the Lord. A better dwelling place for her..

Ina Elvira, one of the few best of friends of my mom Adelina Arsay Wandag. As members of BIBAK Trailblazers, when the opportunity arises they meet, they always stay together and socializing. My mom would relate stories of our dad during the pre-war days when he was studying in La Trinidad and being good friend of ina Elvira's husband. Surely, she affectionately touched our lives as a Family here in Los Angeles for all those years we came to know her. We will miss you ina but as they say, we part to meet again. - From the Wandag Family of Los Angeles, CA

One of the Igorot elders that I loved to chat with. She always had something nice to say. We'll all miss her.

Our sincerest condolences to all the members of bereaved families of auntie Elvira. We will certainly be missing her physically. A great woman who has always been fun to chat with. May she rest in peace. - Harry & Maurine and family

Amidst  life is death. When we speak of life,  we also speak of death, and vice versa,  without fear. As they say, we all die but at different times. Elvira Benito Laoyan evidently lived her life to fullest. That was fabulous. I would say, she graduated from life par excellence.  The sad part in death is the parting of the physicality but the happy part of it is the resting eternally and peacefully of the soul.  Elvira is no longer in pain  but at peace with her maker. To the Laoyan's,  please accept our most profound  sympathies even as we commend the soul of Elvira to the great beyond. May the bereaved find comfort and strength even as they grieve. From James Kollin Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
