Dear Brother Jay,
Our hearts are with you in this time of deep sorrow. Losing someone as loving, faith‑filled, and gracious as Anita leaves a space that words can hardly fill. Still, we wanted to share how profoundly her life touched ours and how sincerely we pray for you.
Anita was a remarkable woman—steadfast in her faith, gentle in her kindness, and unwavering in her love for the people God placed in her life. She carried Christ’s light in the way she listened, cared, and lifted others up. We will always be grateful for the friendship we shared with her and for the ways she reflected God’s goodness.
In moments like these, when grief feels heavy and the days feel long, we hope you find comfort in the promise Christ gave us: “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, will live.” Anita’s journey has not ended—it has been transformed. She now rests in the eternal embrace of our Lord, where there is no more pain, no more fear, only peace.
Please know that even across the miles, you are not alone. We are praying that God surrounds you with strength, consoles your heart, and fills your home with the quiet assurance of His presence. May the Blessed Mother wrap you in her mantle and intercede for you, bringing you the comfort only a mother can give.
Brod Jay, we have known each other since our school days, and through all those years, Anita has been such a beautiful part of our Beta Sigma shared story. If you ever need someone to talk to, or simply pray alongside, we are only a call away. Our love and brotherhood remain with you, always.
With deepest sympathy and faith in God’s promise of eternal life,
Jun and Lissy Faigal

Dear Brod Jay & Family,
Expressing sympathy is always  difficult but all we can say is how sorry we are for your loss.
Anita was a wonderful person both inside and out. On those few occasions when we saw each other Anita was such a joy to be with. She will greatly missed. 
Wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead. May God’s love  give you strength during your time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers

To Jay and your family.  Sending our deepest condolences at this time of sadness for your loss of your wonderful wife, mom and grandmother Anita. Prayers and love from Janette and all of the Redfern family

Heavenly Father,

With humble hearts, we lift up to You our beloved Tita Da. Thank You for the beautiful life she lived as a devoted wife, a loving mother and grandmother, and a blessing to all who knew her. We are grateful for the love she gave so freely, and the faith that carried her through every season—including her battle.

Lord, we entrust her now into Your eternal care. Receive her into Your kingdom where there is no more pain, no more suffering, and no more tears—only peace in Your presence. May Your promise of everlasting life bring comfort to those she left behind.

We pray especially for her family and loved ones. Surround them with Your compassion and strength in this time of grief. When their hearts feel heavy, remind them that You are near, that Your love sustains them, and that nothing—not even death—can separate us from Your love in Christ Jesus.

Let the memories of Tita Da be a source of comfort and gratitude. May her legacy of faith, love, and courage continue to live on in her family. Grant them hope in the assurance that one day, they will be reunited with her in Your heavenly home.

We rest in Your promise, Lord, trusting in Your mercy and Your perfect plan.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

From Rojas family - Josec, Mayi, Ethan and Alonzo

I will always remember Anita as such a wonderful person, a true Betan wife who made all of us feel so at home. I can still see her beaming smile, so sincere, so genuine, and so contagious. Anyone could understand why Brod Jay fell in love with her in the first place.
I will always remember how she danced,  gently guiding me on the dance floor, making it seem as though I was leading. That was her grace. That was her charm. I will surely miss that.
These are just some of the many simple yet beautiful things I will always remember about her.
No more pain, no more suffering. You are in a better place now. Rest well, my dearest sister Anita. 🙏

Jay, our deepest condolences to your family on Anita's passing. We will keep her in our prayers. She has been a beautiful and classy lady. We will miss her tremendously. 


                                                      Love Always,     
                                                David and Ming

A Prayer for Anita De Vera
Heavenly Father,
We lift up Anita to You with grateful hearts for the life she lived and the love she shared.
Please welcome her into Your eternal embrace and grant her peace and rest in Your presence. Comfort Jay and their family during this difficult time. Ease their sorrow with the assurance that Anita is now free from pain and surrounded by Your light.
Lord, bless my dear friend Jay, whom I have known since we were young boys in Grade 1. Strengthen him in this season of loss, and surround him with Your grace, hope, and loving comfort.
May Anita’s memory remain a blessing, and may her life continue to inspire love among those she leaves behind.

Amen. Bing Magpayo
