Like most of my cousins, Tia Rebecca was like a mother to me especially when Mommy passed away. Every time I looked at her, I remember Mommy. In one of her visits in the Philippines, I still can recall  during the celebration of MOTHER'S DAY, that  I brought her, Tia Moding and Mommy  ( unfortunately, Tia Rhod was in the province that time) to Dusit/Nikko  hotel to listen to Diomedes Maturan ( I know she kept a picture taken with the singer which she showed me in one of my visits in L.A.) .   Icould see that all three women were  elated and  ecstatic. When Mommy died in April, 2012, I immediately decided to go to the U.S. with the main purpose of visiting Tia Rebecca and at the same time to attend  her 96th birthday in July of the same year. During my last visit in L.A. in 2013 or 2014 ( I forgot exactly which year), I slept in her room and I can still remember the things she told me. She thanked me and she said ,  please extend my THANKS TO ALL YOUR COUSINS- THEY TOO MADE  ME VERY HAPPY.  She added that she led a full life  but there were times that she could not sleep at night  because she missed all her siblings who have long been gone. It made me very sad when I heard the news that she passed away, not only because I have purchased the airplane ticket to attend her 100th birthday but because I will miss her, just like the way I am missing my Mommy. On the other hand, I am consoled by the thought that she is already in a much better place, happy and at peace. I LOVE YOU TIA REBECCA and will MISS YOU. I can't help being teary eyed while writing this message.  LORNA

To my Tita Ninang Rebecca I will miss your teachings and guidance. Although you are no longer with us physically, you will always be in our hearts among your nieces, nephews, grandsons, and granddaughters.

Our dearest Tia Rebecca, just like your amazingly vivid memory, we really thought that you will live forever. But now that the venue for your centennial celebration has been moved to heaven, the love and generosity that you have imparted in all of us will remain forever in our hearts.  Thank you very much for being a wonderful blessing to all of us.  Until we meet again... We love you!

Like Boogie,tia was literally a second mother to me. Me and Irma,her daughter,were born almost at the same time. It was during WW2 and food was scarce. My mother didn't have enough milk,so I shared with Irma tia's milk. While in college in Manila,I and some cousins were regular visitors to her house in Roxas district because of her motherly love and caring and of course her delicious cooking. She hadn't changed even here in the US. I will miss her,but she will always be in my heart and mind. I know a lot more share my sentiments. Long live tia.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. 

They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. 

Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. 

We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

Heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and friends during this difficult time.  I hope that the promise found at 1 Thessalonians 4:14 will bring you comfort.
Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
