Dear Linda... 

It’s been a little over a month since you became an angel. I know we did lose touch but you were my childhood friend that I never forgot.  You always included me mostly everything you did.  So many beautiful memories we have - from playing store, to going to the beach, putting on our own hula show at home, going with you to hula, playing slip and slide in the garage, BBQ under the mango tree, Easter egg hunt in the garden (finding the hidden eggs much later) - so many more.  You truly were my friend from my “Hanabata Days”.  I thank you for being a friend and blessing in my life.  Now you an angel in heaven.  Hugs... Please watch over us. Rest In Peace... Rest in Love... 

Aloha...
Gwen

Dear Rose,

As I learned of your passing, time stood still, my heart is broken.  I met Rose as being Adrian’s toddler teacher. I remember her coming in every morning whistfully off to work with this bright contagious smile on her face! I remember her glow when she found out she was pregnant with Micah! My husband and our family got to know Rose and Orlando quite well with taking our kids together out. In fact, we used to joke that Sofie and Micah were quite the pair. They truly loved one another’s company! Rose was the type of person that would take her shirt off her back to one in need. She was easy to talk to and a great listener! My husband was Micah’s toddler teacher and I moved on with my favorite student; Adrian through his primary years and his Kindergarten year at his Montessori school. My last memory of Rose and the family was before we made our move back to Virginia. We had attended one of their family gathering events at their home. All of her family and extended family made us feel so welcome as if we were apart of the family. I love you Rose. You will always be in my heart.  I am lucky to have crossed paths with you and call you my friend. As time has passed and miles away you still are considered my dear friend and apart of my family in Vegas. Heaven has gained an Angel. God bless and Rest In Peace.
Love,
Michelle, Rafael, Lillyana, Tyson and Sofie Lopez

Auntie Linda,
   I still remember the first day I met you.  Christopher and I came to visit you all in Las Vegas.  It was June 2002.  I felt so welcomed by you all.  Even when you had me try the tripe without telling me what it was..lol.  You made me feel like part of the family even if Chris and I tried to his that we were together.   We had many visits but I wish we had more.  Katelyn and I were so grateful that you came out to the softball field in October to see her play.  That is a memory that we will treasure forever.  You will always be in our hearts.  Until we see each other again.  Rest In Peace Auntie.

My Dearest Linda, 
Life hasn’t been the same since you left. I think of you constantly and still can’t believe that you are gone to fly with Angels. I know you fought a hard & long battle and I know you aren’t suffering or in pain anymore, and I am happy that.
I see you and feel your presence around us but can’t shake the feeling of  all this sadness. I just miss you so much! 
I made a promise to you that I will be with you & help you fight and I kept my promise! I prayed so hard for a miracle to help you! I would do anything for you! 
I’m so glad that I was able to spend time with you until the end. Your laughter, strength & bravery you showed us was amazing. We made memories that I will hold dear to my heart! But I just can’t help being a little selfish and want you back.
You have always been there for me and were always just a phone call away and now who do I call? I wish there was a phone to call you in Heaven. 
Don’t worry about your boys, we will always be there to help & guide them to the right path. As for Lando, you know we got him too!
As I write this, tears start to fall and run down my face and I can’t help but feel so helpless & incomplete. I know it will take time to heal my broken heart💔 but missing you will never end. I LOVE you Linda!! Till we meet again! Sisters are forever♥️

Linda and I became friends when my parents decided to rent a room at her parents house in Waipahu when I was 8. I remember Manang Luming telling me about you and that we were the same age. We quickly became friends and we created many childhood memories that I will cherish forever. Here are a few of my memories...
 I remember waking up early Saturday morning to help Linda do her chores so we could play outside. We would play house and set up her room as a store. We would sell random things we found around the house to each other. I remember my sister and I walking with Linda to her hula class every Saturday. She loved to dance hula and even taught Gwen and I a couple dances. We even made up our own hula shows for Mother’s Day. We collected and traded stickers, played Chinese jacks, loved playing hide and seek. 
It wasn’t always fun and games...I remember we got into a big fight one day and we were actually going to fight each other. We stared each other down giving each other the stink eye. But at the end, we couldnt fight each other end up riding TheBus to the mall. Lol...
We grew up and my family moved out when we were 14. Unfortnately, we drifted apart. Through FaceBook I got to know my childhood friend again. Yet we never reconnected. After hearing of Linda’s passing my heart is broken and I am sad that I never reached out sooner.  But, at least I have my memories.
Rest In Peace and in Love my dear beautiful friend Linda. You are now in Paradise with no pain. Please watch over us. 
Love, Jane

Auntie Linda, 

God has gained another beautiful angel. He may have you in His arms but you’ll always and forever be in our hearts. You’re one of the strongest person I’ve known. You always say “I’m okay” when really you’re not. I knew I just have to embrace you, give you a warm hug and it would be enough to comfort you. You stayed strong throughout the years, kept a smile for everyone to see. We’re heartbroken without you here, but we’ll be okay knowing that you’re not in pain anymore. 

We will always remember all the memories we shared with you, Auntie. In our thoughts and in our hearts, there you will stay forever.

 It’s never goodbye, it’s when we see you again Auntie Linda. 

*Hugs & kisses*

Hello Manang Linda, I am hoping that you are doing well now and pain free from your illness. I am happy to say that I was honored to have met you while you were still with us. I am sadden that we never got to go to Disneyland and all those other places you were going to take me. Remember you always said for sure, remember. I miss you and hope one day we will all be together again. My love and hugs and kisses.  God bless you always Manang.

Hi baby sister it's just me wanting to tell you how much I miss you. You were always there whenever I needed your help and you did so without questions or remorse. I always admired you for all you have done to succeed in your life. You were always so head strong and that's what I liked about you. Anyway I never got to thank you for your help with me and Agnes. I'm hoping you know it meant alot to me for what you did. You know at first I wasn't going to write anything because there was so much I wanted to say and instead of words there were only the tears that came out. You cant imagine how much of an impact you made on all our lives. I'm glad though I had some time to spend with you before you left us. I know you may have been hurting inside but didn't want us to see your pain. I really wish I could've helped you more.  Remember we all love you very much and know you will always be in our hearts and thoughts.  God bless you and take care....you will always be my baby sister.....love you always..... 

Dearest Auntie Linda,

We might not have been blood related, but thank you for always making me feel like family. I was fortunate enough to have met such a beautiful and big hearted soul like yours. 

My first trip to Hawaii would not have been as memorable without you. It was April 2008, Jennifer and I had just turned 18 that year and I remember you were like our second “fun” mom wanting us to go out and have fun. You even joked at the Luau about talking to the cute Hawaiian guy dancers and embarrassed us into taking pictures with them. The whole trip you made sure I was eating (.. everything), I was comfortable, I was having fun, all on top of it being Adrian’s first trip too (he was a baby still and I remember because we were all freaking out about getting his formula through security check). You cared so much and through the years, at every occasion, I’ve always felt your sincerity and kindness, and for that I want to say thank you. Your presence will be missed dearly, but now you can rest in paradise and in peace ❤️

Always,
Stephanie 

 I don’t have enough time in the world to describe what an amazing woman she was. Her strength, her compassion, her selflessness, the warmth and light she brought to every room. Her as a whole will always inspire me.   Rose may your beautiful soul Rest In Peace. 

-Allie. 

I am finally here Linda and you were no longer here to greet me.  I told you that I was coming and your response was “yay” over the phone.

I can still remember when you planned a mini vacation to meet us in California to go to Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm and Legoland.  This was almost 3-1/2 years ago.  My grandkids had so much fun hopping on rides with Micah and Addie.  We had a “blast” hanging out and enjoying each others company.  We should have done these get together more often.

Had I known that this cancer would take you away so suddenly, I would have visited and spent more time with you.  This will no longer be possible.  

When I told Jim that you had passed away, he was sad and commented by saying “why did this happen to such a kind, loving, caring and passionate person like her”?  He couldn’t believe that you were gone and had departed so soon.

Linda--I would like to say “thank you” for everything you have done, for being “you”, and giving us your unconditional love.  You suffered through chemotherapy, radiation, going to the hospital, and then through rehab when “God” finally said enough and took you to be one of his “Angels” in heaven.  You are now in a better place and pain free. 

 I miss you so much and I love you Linda!  Until we meet again.


To beautiful Rosalinda, I had the honor to be your guest thanksgiving 2017. Even though you did not know me you invited me to your home and shared your food with me. You are such a beautiful soul and I couldn’t believe that you were gone. May your soul forever Rest In Peace ❤️

Auntie Linda,

I am saddened to hear of your passing. We weren’t really close, but I’ve always admired you and Uncle Lando raising great kids. I know this might be hard for your family, but I’m sure you will watch over them. Rest easy, auntie.

My favorite memory with my mom was at Legoland. She always gave me everything I wanted and needed even when she said she wasn’t going to. She always scolded me, but it taught me to be better and to be a good boy. I will always what she taught me for the rest of my life. I promise to be a good boy for Dad and help teach Micah what you would want him to learn. I love you and miss you. 


My favorite memory was on my 9th birthday, my mom and dad took me to Great Wolf Lodge. We went to the water park and arcade and won lots of prizes. My mom always would do nice stuff for me and my brother as long as she could live and I’m thankful for her. Thank you mom for all the things you did for me and Adrian before your passed. I will always remember the prayer I said with you every day. I love you so much. 


Rose is the kindest, nicest person you’ve ever met. She’s not just the typical Hi and Hello friend i met at Taekeondo but she had this genuine concern where she went extra mile to help. She’s not just like a sister to me but a twin sister. We have a lot of things in common: exactly the same house model and community, a swimming pool, a pool table and football table at our loft, a metal candle holder fixed in the family room by the fireplace, 2 sons our eldest took taekwando classes but our youngest did not, our kids play soccer and football, our eldest were classmates at Tony Alamo. We are both Ilocano.. we both have a loving and supportive husband who stayed with us during our battle with cancer. We both had breast cancer and shared 3 doctors (Allen,Jacks and Meoz who did our radiation). A lot of similarities to mention. I lost my job and she lost her life due to cancer. She’s done with the BIG C this Dec and i’m done with it too... I’m officially in remission (5 years free from cancer). I didn’t know she liked angel but i’m sure she’s my angel. Last time i talked to her was thanksgiving break. i started putting up my Christmas decorations. i put a Christmas wreath near our bedroom door with an angel.. the angel was there for 2 weeks until it was lost for 2 weeks until i found it downstairs in the formal dining room behind the plant decorations the day she died. I knew there’s a strong message to it until i found out that those 2 weeks were when our Rose is in the hospital. I take your message to continue the things you do for your kids... rest assured that i will always be here for your Adrian and Micah. Cancer has no discrimination. it can hit anyone even an ANGEL or a ROSE. We may have lost her physically but we gained an angel in heaven. Me and my family will be forever grateful to have met you. You’re a God-sent. May you Rest In Peace my friend.

When I first met Linda I was 15 moving into Mommy & Daddy's  house in Waipahu,  Linda became my little sister and I have always thought of her that way. You all have become my family and I love you all.  I remember letting Linda out of the house at night to meet Lando after Mommy went to sleep.  It was so much fun. You will always be in my heart and truely missed.  I love you Linda 💗

To my Sister-in-Law Linda.  Your life was a "true blessing" to me and my family.  You were my only daughter's "confidant" and she always "looked" up and "idolized" you.  Your "compassionate" and "outgoing" personality was what I admired the most and will be truly "missed".   That voice asking "are you okay Mario", "how's your day" or "where are we eating today" as you passed  me by in our garage are gone forever but I will never "forget".  

Your "tenacity" was admired by your family and friends.

As you fought this disease, we shed our tears.  You responded to us by saying "I will fight through this guys--don't worry".

Though "absent" you will always be NEAR to us.  Your memories will live on forever in our hearts!

To my beautiful sister, Rosalinda.  I cannot describe the "emptiness" that I feel since you left us but I can still remember one of the last words you use to say to us that "you were okay and everything will be alright".    I never prayed so hard in my life and had every hope that God would bless us with a "true miracle" before Christmas but that didn't happen because he needed another "Angel" in heaven to watch over us.  I was truly blessed to have supported you in your journey until the very end.  You were beautiful, caring, generous, loving, thoughtful, outgoing, friendly and loved your family unconditionally.  I love  you so much and miss your smiling face and laughter.  You may be gone but will never be forgotten.

I had the privilege of sharing an office with Rose for several years many years ago 
 She was the kindest, gentlest soul, always ready with a kind word and warm smile.  I will remember her always.  My heart and prayers go out to her friends and family. 

It broke our hearts to lose you ,But you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home.
If tears could build a stairway , and heartaches make a lane, We’d walk our way to heaven , and bring you back again.
In life we love you dearly. In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill..
 Thank you for all the years  of friendship, laughters and memories.

It was a privilege to watch you grow into the wonderful mother, wife and sister we all know and love.

Linda you will be missed!

 Not only was WWHGD a blessing to me, but I’ve had the honor of meeting a special woman who was like a sister to me from day one! Rose was the most compassionate woman who would put others needs before her own. She was so welcoming, friendly and thoughtful! Words can’t describe how amazing she was. I remember our first Xmas party together in Atlanta...our first time out of town together for the weekend and how our husbands met for the first time.  We had a blast! We knew from that moment, we would be friends for a long time! Rose, you and your family were truly a blessing to me and my family on so many levels. You still are! We will continue to be there for your family! 
We are truly and deeply saddened that you are no longer with us ...there is a huge hole in our hearts. We will miss seeing your smile and hearing your laughs. You will forever have a special place in my heart, Rose. We’ll miss you and remember you always! ❤️

Love Always,
The Endozo’s


Dear Rose, I met you at support group your first night. You and your sister there taking it all in. The unimaginable. We spoke of wigs versus beautifully bald. We laughed, we cried. You opened up your heart and let our words and hugs attempt to ease your pain. We had an instant friendship connection. I wish I would have reached out more often. We planned a lunch, we had to cancel. We chatted on the phone, then we stopped. I thought of you not that long ago and said to myself I need to call you. Then the news feed through Facebook said you had passed and I thought this is impossible. It can't be Rose. Your heart, your drive, your ambition, your strength. I had to be imagining it. But its real. I hate cancer every day for the pain it put me through. And I think why me? But now all I ask now is why you! I'm sorry for the pain, the anguish, and suffering you felt. My condolences to your family that suffers with you. Rest sweet friend. Until we meet again.

Rose has been a friend since school age days and  living in Las Vegas and spending more years together with our families has been a blessing. She was always so kind and caring and I will never forget her smile, strength and courage. Rest In Peace and love my friend, I will always cherish the memories together and keep you and your family in my prayers. Fly with angels sis...until we meet again. Condolences to the Macalma and Calpito Ohana 

To My Beautiful Angel Auntie Linda, 
Thank you for everything. For being the best Auntie, the best dog sitter, and at times a second mother to me. I wish I had the chance to tell you just how much of an impact you have made on my life. You have taught me how to be strong, kind to others, generous, and most of all brave. I know you fought your hardest for as long as you could, and because of that, I promise to stay strong for the family. Thank you for trusting me to be with you at the very end. I will always love you and miss you. Please watch over us. Until we meet again, your niece, Jenn. 

To My Beautiful Sister Linda....  who’s life was shortened by an awful disease called CANCER.  I HATE YOU CANCER FOR TAKING HER AWAY FROM ALL OF US!!!   Sis thank you for all the great loving memories you’ve shared and left with us all.   You will be greatly missed by me & all our families!  I promise to help look over your boys Adrian & Micah and Lan to make sure they are ok and help feed them like I used to look after you.  I’m sure they’ll grow up to be great kids as you & Lando have instilled your parental guidance and techniques to be good and professional in life.   Family will be here to help guide them for you.  Lin, I will miss you so , so much.   I LOVE YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN....   Your Loving. Sister Ophelia Diez


I am truly sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the Macalma family find comfort and strength in Jesus promise along with our heavenly father Jehovah of the earthly resurrection found at John 5:28, 29, when death will be eliminated forever found at  Revelations 21:4. Truly, what a glorious and almost unbelievable day that will be! It's a reality though for God cannot lie!
