Hi Robert, Brenda, and Richard,
I have been stressed and sad since the day that I heard that your Mother was suddenly in pain and entering the hospital a few weeks ago. 
I then received word that she was suffering from liver cancer.  I am sure all of you hoped as I did
that your Mom would at least have a chance to receive the care that she needed to fight the cancer, and fight for her Life to continue.
I was optimistic,  she was only 70 Y.O.
Sadly, none of us knew that the cancer was worse than we thought. She passed too soon.
I lost your Aunt "G" in November of last year, after suffering for 7 years from an intense stroke that caused her to be paralyzed on her left side, and unable to walk or take care of herself.
I took care of her at home for those 7 years, hoping and praying that somehow she would get better. She didn't. I am still mourning her death and crying daily, as I do for the loss of your Mom.
Aunt "G" was also only 70 Y.O..
Please accept my sincerest apology for not being
at any of your Mom's ceremonies. I haven't been well, and my flu symptoms kept me from visiting
you and possibly spreading my sickness.
I have been hearing how ALL of you have been successful in your jobs, and I hope that despite the tragic loss of your Mother, you will continue 
to have Happiness into the Future.
Again, I am sorry I couldn't attend the ceremonies, but I have not, and will not forget your Mother.
Stay Safe....Take Care
Uncle Mark

Hi my name is Evan and I'm a renter and met Amelita years ago when I moved to the Seattle area. Immediately after meeting her I knew it was going to be a great fit for me when looking for a rental property. Her infectious energy, laugh, and demeanor made it easy and enjoyable to meet her and in my limited interactions with her felt very comfortable. Very kind and always willing to listen or help in any way she could was also very comforting to me as a renter. I will definitely remember that about her and also the times she took steps to even invite me to a family gathering like Thanksgiving which happened at least on 1 occasion was so thoughtful and unexpected as only as renter but this is just one of the many ways she made me feel wanted in the home and comfortable. I will miss her but always remember her in memory about the quality of person she was. Condolences to everyone friends and family and know she is in a better place free of any suffering resting peacefully now. Thank You Evan

My memories of Amelita are from years back when we were here neighbors in Mill Creek. She was full of energy, had a heart of gold, and put the needs of her children first and foremost. I employed each of her children while they attended college. They were raised  with work ethics and respect for others. Parents want their children to achieve more in life personally and professionally and all have done so, I know she was a proud mother of three. She left us too young and will be missed by all.

Dear Rob, our hearts go out to you during this incredibly difficult time. Your mother was a truly special person, and I know how much she meant to you. Please know we are here for you, whatever you need.

Auntie Mely,

I was completely shocked and deeply saddened by your passing. It hurts so much because you were the kindest, most thoughtful, and loving aunt I’ve ever had. I still vividly remember the last time we talked—you caught me while I was on a trip, and little did I know, that would be our final conversation. There was still so much I wanted to share with you, especially about my journey with cancer, but now it’s too late. I’m sorry I wasn’t physically there during your battle, but please know that you were always in my prayers.

Auntie, thank you so much for everything—for all the gifts, your generosity, and for always being there to help. Thank you for the laughter we shared during our video calls. It breaks my heart that we didn’t get to see each other the last time you came to the Philippines. Thank you for taking care of my mom, for being a loving and generous sister to her. Thank you for simply being you—the cheerful, bubbly, and funny aunt who always brought joy into every conversation. You will always be remembered, Auntie, and I miss you more than words can express.

May you rest in eternal peace, Auntie Mely. I know you are now in a better place, free from pain and worry. You will forever be in our hearts, and your love and kindness will remain a lasting legacy in our lives. Until we meet again, rest well in God’s embrace. ❤️

I love you Auntie Mely

Amelita was a very good friend with a bright smile and kind heart.  My condolences to her family. She expressed her love for all three of her beautiful children.  She felt she hit the jackpot with the love of her children.  Rest in peace Amelita.  

Love, Ginger

My sincere condolences for your family. My family, Audrey and Irv Steinberg and Jeanne Rose (Steinberg) Roxby and me (Anne Stein) appreciated Amalita so much. 

Words can barely convey our sadness.

With loving care,
