Today, I honor the life of my dear friend and sister, someone who has left an indelible mark on my heart. Though time and distance separated us, the bond we shared will never fade. I know God brought us together for a reason—to walk alongside each other as mothers, wives, and true friends.

She was a woman of strength, resilience, and unwavering love. Her faith in our Savior was evident in everything she did. She had an incredible gift for giving her very best to her children, her husband, and her family. She cared deeply, always wanting the best for everyone around her. Her caring demeanor, soft-spoken words, and contagious laughter brought light to so many lives.

I miss her terribly, but I take comfort in knowing that this is not the end. In God’s perfect time, we will see each other again. Until then, I will carry the memories of her love, grace, and friendship close to my heart.

She is, and always will be, my beautiful friend and sister.

Dear Mel, Ella,  Avienne, and the Buendia family, 

Our deepest condolences and prayers to the whole family. 

Dearest Annette,

As you meet our Beloved Saviour in Heaven, I want to appreciate you much for your friendship. You’ve instilled a vast footprint of memories, happiness, generosity, kindness, and spirituality, to your family and your friends. We will miss you so much!

Grant eternal rest upon my friend, Annette, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. Amen.

Mel,

Dear Annette,

For the short time I had known you, worked with you and ate lunch with you at UCI, you somehow made an impact which is more felt now that you’re gone. I’m just grateful that I came to know you. Thank you for your friendship. You will be missed. God Bless you. Go fly with the angels Annette  👼 

My most deepest and heartfelt condolences to your family. 

Love,
Tess

Dear Mel, Isabella and Avienne,

I don't know what to say, I wish I had the right words to comfort you three.

You, ella and avienne will be in my thoughts and prayers now and in the difficult weeks ahead. I'm sending you my love and heartfelt condolences and sympathy. Wishing you the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your hearts forever.

Annette  was so nice to me and also to our Carlos family. She became part of us for like two decades and my favorite memories of her was when we had our travel in Camiguin Islands in 2008 and Hongkong in 2017. We had fun then and shared precious moments that cannot be forgotten. I love her smile that is a reflection of her beautiful soul and all the pictures and memories that will be kept  in our hearts till we meet again.. She's so sweet and her life is a blessing to all of us. Her memories are treasures we will keep in our hearts always. We  will miss her dearly. 

Thank you Sis Annette Carmel for everything, please say "Hi!" to our Dear God for all of us..

Eternal rest grant unto Sister Annette Carmel's soul and let perpetual light shine upon her. Amen 🙏 

Rest in Peace our beloved Sister Annette Carmel, you are greatly loved and deeply missed. We will always be here for Mel and the girls even from a distance.

Love, 
Diche Olive & Kaye

Dear Mel, Ella, Avienne

Our deepest condolences to you and your family.  Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.  Please know that we are always here for you. 
It seems like yesterday when you two were still dating and you introduced Annette to us. She was so beautiful and reserved.  Then she came more often when Mommy Rosie babysitted Ella. Annette was a gentle and  kind soul. We will forever miss her. 
Rest in peace Annette.

Love:  Tito Nemie, Tita Edith, Aisa,, Eric, Ryan, Mommy Rosie

Offered prayers for you and your family.
May you rest in peace.
