My cousin Josefa,
It's been ages cuz. The last memory I had with you was playing in the streets behind our ancestral house, trying to play with a deflated basketball we couldnt bounce. I am fond of the moments that we had, biking around Paoay church, buying from the street vendors and going to places where we can play.
Whenever I see these places now, it hurts to realize that we will never get the chance to revisit these places as adults. Those moments will forever be memories. 
You left too soon ading ko. Way too soon. We didn't even get the chance to talk as adults. I didnt even get to hear how you are doing, what you planning for and whatever we can talk about. I regret putting aside the chance to talk to you back then, even when I could have, because of the thought of meeting you again someday. But regrets wont get me anywhere. All I can do now is cherish the memories that we had and always remember you. I will always remember you as one of the cousins who made me cry over a gameboy, as one of the cousins that had fistfights with me, but most of all, as one of the cousins who became my best friend.
I won't cry because it's over. I'll smile because you happened.
Rest easy Josefa. Pain in Earth is Peace in Paradise.

Josefa was such a wonderful person.  It was such a privilege to be one of her advisors, friend, and coworker.  Josefa helped so many students as a math tutor. Because of her, many students were able to pass their math course and graduate.  

 We had a great time! We even got her to dress up for Halloween (it wasn't much just a tee shirt) but we all dressed up like Cat in the Hat characters.  I remembered when Josefa brought us some lumpia. It was so good! I tried to make it for her, and she said for me to keep trying!!  I will forever have the memory of her in my heart.

My dearest Jos, the day God took you home, it broke my heart. Tears and heartache never stopped. I know anakko you’re now in paradise with our dear Lord. I hope you could stayed with us more, but Heaven needed you.
You’re  a very special person, with kindness in your heart, I can prove it, the way  you took care of your baby brother Francis James when you guys came to visit us in California last October.  And I’m so thankful for visiting us anakko. You left us with lots of laughters n precious memories. I will miss your giggly laughs. Remember you told me that we will go to Ireland together. The more the merrier. And our plan to have a family reunion in the Philippines?  My dearest Jos God knows how much we will miss you. Never shall your memory fade. You’re now our angel anakko Jos😇🙏. Please pray for us. Say hi to our loved ones in heaven.
I love you so dearly Josefa. ❤️


Sefa,

We still can not believe it. I don’t know how to make our parents feel better, I can see Mama Jean and Daddy Roger trying to be okay, It hurts us so bad that you are gone, but we know you are in a better place and one day we will see you again. We love and miss you so much. Our last thanksgiving together as a family was last year 2020.

Dear Sefa,

The news of your sudden passing gave me a feeling I never felt before, the pain of losing someone, it made me realise how much I truly care about my family and although we were far apart, I never once felt distant from you, the bond was strong despite the distance between us. 

When I heard of your plans to visit us in Ireland, I was excited to finally meet you after so long! From time to time, I would chat with Minette and we would talk about places you would love to visit, she would have wanted you to have the best experience ever.

It is still hard to believe that you are gone but I feel at peace knowing that you will always be watching over us as our beautiful angel. No matter the distance, you will always be in our hearts. 

Rest easy dear cousin.....

Nothing is more painful in this world than losing someone whom we love so dearly. We are so broken annako Sefa, but I know God can keep you in the best place in heaven now. Rest well in paradise annako. You will be missed forever and always. We love you so much and your memories will always be in our hearts. 

My dearest cousin sefa, 

Being long distance cousins was hard, but now that you’re gone from our sight it’s much harder. Although surely, the long distance made our connection stronger and you were always there for me. Your love was unconditional like no other. We were born in the same year, bathed together, played together under the same roof like God made us soulmates; yet you still called me “ate” which shows how much respect and generosity you held in your heart. Every year was always closer to seeing you with extra excitement to hug you, but I will still hold on to that excitement until we reunite again. 

With all the plans we made and the dreams shared, I will continue to make our dreams come true. You will forever hold a place in my heart and I will take you with me to see the world.  And of course, you are and will always be my favourite cousin. 

God gained such a beautiful angel. Rest in paradise, my cousin. We miss you and we love you so much.

Sepa,
My very sweet and jolly former student at PAOAY National High School. 
Malagip ko daydi last Convo ta nga nu agbakasyon ka ditoy Pilipinas ket syak ti umuna nga former teacher mo nga pagpakitaam ngem kastoy metten ti napasamak anak Madi ta met makapagkitan.. I was deeply saddend when I heard the news that you were gone. I also remember when we were at California way back 2014 nga ibagbagam nga umay kami dita Colorado ta ipasyar nak ngem madi kami met nakaumay ta limited ti aldaw mi nga nagbakasyon. 
You will always be remembered Sepa. May you rest in peace with the Lord..

Adingko, thank you for the 22 years that you've shared with us. You made me realize how short life is, that we are on borrowed time! I wish I said everything that I wanted to, that night when we dropped you off at the E.R. It really hurts, but I know that God needed more angels and you're with Him now. Watch over us! Angelica misses you! Everybody misses you! Rest in Paradise! I know you are in a better place now. 'Til we meet again. We love you!

It is so hard that you are gone sefa anak ko. But you are always in our heart. Me, tita francia and ading quiny and victor loves you always. When we heard from tita helen that you were gone, we felt so  much pain because we lost someone that is very precious to us. Again sefa anak ko, rest in peace and remember that we always love you. As manung mark said, regards to all our loved ones that are now in heaven.


Rest in peace, ading Sefa. To me you will always be the cute little kid whom your dad always brought with him to our place years ago. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. Please send our regards to our loved ones in heaven and pray for us as we continue to pray for you. Until we meet again, adingko. ❤️😭

You made me feel less alone during a time where all I felt was alone. You were a friend when I had none. You made me laugh when I was inconsolable. You deserved so much more and you were taken far too soon. May your soul rest in paradise, for that’s what you deserve. Paradise. 

This was our trip to New York. It was such a great time. Whenever the whole family get together, we never stop laughing and Sefa, I’m going to miss hearing your laugh the most. You will be missed and we love you…
