I remember kuya Ed (EMC) magkabarko kami sa USS Constellation. So sad that he's gone already.  He taught me how to score high in bowling lalo na sa Dept. League namin! The secret was, "to get your own ball that fits your personality," that's it then he smiled and he started to roll the ball and got a "turkey then a ham bone" I asked what's that?...3 and 4 strikes in a row he said...then he laughed!

Kuya Eddie is a very loving, caring, thoughtful and a kind hearted brother. In 1990, they decided to buy a house in Maryland and we were so happy including Oca, Papang, and Mamang because Kuya chose the lot next to our house. He said if he needed a fish sauce or Patis, he can just asked me instead of driving to the store. We’re so close to each other and we had a lot of memories together. He always cooked Pansit for my birthday and always made me laugh with his jokes. He always call me and checked on me ”how am I doing and what am I cooking?” Thank you Kuya sa mga advises mo at sa mga tulong ninyo ni Ate Doyeth especially when I got sick.  I will always remember the last 2 hugs we had and bump our heads together and you said “Lord give me strength”. I always told you “Laban lang tayo
Kuya.” I really miss You so much. Me and Oca love you very much and our love for you will remain in our hearts forever. I know that you are in good place now with the Lord.

Eddie, so sad for all of us to lose you,  but God knew that it's time to rest from all your sufferings. We will miss all the times we spent with you, when we come on weekends  to see you, and i was able to give haircuts to Doyette, Oca, Bay and Noriel.
After making everyone look 10 years younger, we enjoyed dinner together with lots of filipino food and of course your special sotanghon/canton pancit with plenty to take home. We spent countless hours catching up with whatever is happening with our lives and our families until it's time for you to go home to take your medicines and rest.
I was very thankful to God that I was able to  share one of my kidneys to you, that gave us more years of normal life to spend together with you. I remembered that time, when Mamang took care of us when we came home from the hospital after surgery. She was very happy to see us both doing well. 
A year ago, March 2023 in North Carolina, we were so blessed and joyful that  you and Doyette was able to spend the weekend with us and the family. We went to the beach, ate a lot of food and had unending talks and laughter because even in the midst of sufferings, you still managed to tell us jokes. It will always be a special time for all of us. 
We want to thank you and Doyette for your kindness and thoughtfulness, always sending us presents on our birthdays and  holidays, sharing your blessings and helping people you don't even know. Your generosity will always be remembered. We know that you will always keep an eye on all of us in heaven. We love you and we will never forget you all the days of our lives.
Love always,
Kuya Ambeth, Ate Vy and family

Uncle,

You've been a second father to me for the longest time. I will cherish all the memories of us playing tennis together, you teaching me how to wash cars properly, and how to fight for the people I love. 

Thank you for fighting hard to live longer so you can spend more time with us. But God needed another soldier in his kingdom, and this time it had to be you. 

There's so much I wish we did more together or talked about with each other, but maybe when we see each other again, we can catch up. 

I love you so much uncle and your memory will live on with me and our family.

Thank you Kuya Eddie at pinili mong maging
magkapitbahay tayo dahil sabi mo nga kung
mauubusan ka ng fish sauce ay madaling humiram rather than driving to the store.
Para sa Kuya Eddie kong napakabait, napakabuti.
mapagmahal, at maalalahanin , maraming
maraming salamat sa mga magagandang
advises at sa lahat ng mga  tulong ninyo sa amin.
Mahal na mahal ka namin  ni Oca  at ni Maricris at lagi kang mananatili sa aming puso.  We love you so so much and we will miss you so so much. We know that you are in heaven with the Lord.
Paalam Kuya.

Eulogy to my best friend

Continued……….

While I say goodbye to you today, your legacy of kindness and generosity will for ever be held in a special  place in my heart. You  will be deeply missed but never forgotten. No more pain and suffering now. “God knows best and took you home to give you rest.” Rest now in eternal peace my best friend. I love you…..

Eulogy  to my best friend Eddie

(Continued)

We used that time to visit Ed’s uncle who run a sari-sari store in olongapo city.

I still remember seeing Ed give his uncle $50 and $20 to each of his five cousins. Ed’s uncle then announced, “the bar is open! All you can drink cold San Miguel Beer.”

After dinner time, Ed invited his uncle’s whole family including three of his uncle’s regular sari-sari store customers, out to dinner at a nice restaurant in Olongapo city. After dinner Ed dropped 300 pesos as tip for the waitress who served all of us.

Remember, this was the 1970s. This is how generous Eddie was.

After almost 8 months of our deployment, we found ourselves back in San Diego. When we were not on duty, we would hang around in Mamang and Papang’s apartment (my parent’s) apartment in National City.

Along with Eddie, our friends and other Navy guys would enjoy my parent’s hospitality. Papang was always cooking chicken adobo and kare-kare for us: Chito Del Rosario, Tony De Castro, Jun Lababit, my younger brother Danny and Henry Alipusan. And then after dinner, we would make our way to 32nd Naval Base bowling alley. We would bring along my younger sister Edna too.

The whole time, Eddie was always cracking jokes and bringing joy into all of our lives.

It was also at this time here in National City when Ed found the love of his life - the former Ms. Adoracion Cruz. And when Ed and Doyitte became life partners, during their wedding I was Ed’s best man.

When Parent Chito’s daughter, Malou was baptized  we were all Ninongs (god parents). And thirty years later during Malou’s wedding, in addition to my cousin Efren Lucena, we were all Ninongs again.

This is how close our friendship was.

Eddie, your goodness has touched so many lives. I will forever be grateful to you. I will honor your memory and cherish those beautiful moments we shared together.

To my best friend Eddie

I’m very happy to see everyone here tonight to celebrate the life of our dear friend, Eddie, and to show our love and our respects to him and his family.

Magandang gabi po sa inyong lahat!

For those of you who may net know me, my name is Rudy Bersamina. Ed or Eddie was my cousin and my best friend. He was like a brother to me.

He is one of the best people I’ve ever known - kind, generous, humble, compassionate, considerate and above all a devoted and loving husband and father.

Ed faithfully and honorably served this great nation  for over 20 years. He was a Navy chief, the backbone of the Navy.

But this is still not the hardest roll in the Navy.  The  Navy wife is clearly the hardest job in all of the U.S. Navy. And I am sure many Navy wives who are her tonight can attest to that.

With that said, I would like to take this opportunity to personally recognize Doyitte and Edward for your unwavering support of Eddie’s military career.
Doyitte , Edward thank you for your kind service.

Eddie and I go way back. And from the start he was always there to support me whenever I needed it.

In 1976 - some of you were not born yet, Eddie and I were both stationed onboard the aircraft carrier USS Constellation CV-64. We were both single at the time and just starting our careers in the Navy.

That summer, we were sailing to the western pacific as part of our scheduled deployment. During port visits in Hawaii, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong, Ed was my liberty buddy.

During our free time before taps, we would shoot the breeze at the ship’s fantail. During those nights, we would talk about my one girl friend and Ed’s many girlfriends. Yes, Eddie was a ladies man - tall, smart and handsome.

When we arrived at our final destination, Subic Naval Base, Philippines, we have the weekend off. We used that time to visit Ed’s uncle who run a sari-sari store in Olongapo city.

I still remember seeing Ed give his …….

Dear Kuya Eddie,

Thank you very much for everything! You never failed to make us laugh - especially our Nanay Aning.  She was your biggest fan. Thank you for making her happy, which made us happy.  We will miss you!

Tell Nanay & everyone up there that we said hello.

Love, 
Wen

I have known Eddie since the early 1960s we were in high school together. I was on a higher section than Eddie for he was in Section 1 and I was in Section 3. Actually, Section 1 at Cavite National High School was the Cream of the Crop, he was that smart.

We almost joined the US Navy together at Sangley Point in Cavite City in 1968 but he was only 17 and too young to join. And if I am not mistaken, he was able to join in 1974 at Subic Bay. The first time we crossed paths in the Navy was in 1986 or 1987 at Guantanamo Bay Cuba during my team’s inspection trip. The first thing he did was he reserved a boat that day and we went fishing for red snappers that evening.

Eddie was a man of many talents he could play many sports such as tennis, basketball, softball, volleyball and so on. When he retired from the Navy, he retired  in Maryland where some of our high school classmates are residing and most of us retired across the river in Virginia. At least once a year we have our CNHS 1967 get together and Eddie kept the group laughing for he knew how to entertain us and he was one of a dancer too together with his wife Doris.

Even during his illness his positive mind was always present and he never gave up. Eddie, we your classmates Bea, Myrna, Emma, Ching, Claire, Tony, Robert, Mario, Jojo, Willy, my wife Tess and I, will sorely miss you. Thank you for the great memories.

Shipmate, I bid you…. Fair Winds and Following Seas!

A message to remember my brother to celebrate the gift of life that God gave him and also the pain that his passing brings. He lived a rich and full life, a life that is full of kindness and generosity that a lot of us experienced during his lifetime. Being the only son and only brother to 5 siblings, he was very loving, supportive and protective and always reminding us to study well. Kuya even bought a big van so he can take the whole family around. He is a man of many talents and great intellect. He showcased the love of sports teaching us how to bowl, play tennis and pingpong especially to 
his son Edward and grandson EJ. He brings joy to all occasions and refused  to miss any gatherings even when his health was failing. His laughter was infectious everytime he tells jokes. We will miss you a lot during our family chat time on Saturdays. You always had a smile on your face and making funny gestures even in the midst of pain and sufferings. He loves to  sing Bikining itim during karaoke time. He loves to share his blessings especially during holidays when he will shower his family and relatives around him with dollar bills. He wore many hats and in each role he surpassed pouring his heart and soul to uphold the relationships that meant so much to him. He will be greatly missed. His presence  in our life is a gift to us. Thank you Lord for giving us a brother who cared for us. God, we ask you to bless him with abundance of your love and mercy. Cover him with your grace and tenderness. Let him know that your mercy sets his spirit free. Open up the heavens to him and bring him great peace and Joy.
Kuya you will forever be in our hearts and mind. We are blessed to have a brother like you. We know that you are now with God, no more suffering, no more pain. We love you Kuya Eddie. 
Love Mamang Conching, Ate Selvy, Erly, Mercy and Baisy

Dearest Mahal,
San Diego is where you and I met on Thanksgiving Day, 1976. We met here and got married here. We were stationed in many other places but we seem to always come back to San Diego. 

I love the life we had together. You were such a great husband, father and grandfather. You never failed to make us laugh. You kept your joy even in the midst of your illness. 

Mahal, you are in San Diego for your final earthly GOODBYE. It is just fitting that you ended up here where we had started that Thanksgiving Day because our 47 years of marriage is one long story of love and thanksgiving.

 Mahal I Love You So Much. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ME and OUR FAMILY. Thank you for all the sacrifices, for all your support and providing us everything we needed. Your sweet and loving memories will always be embedded here in our hearts, especially mine. We will never ever forget you.

YOU ARE MY ONE AND ONLY MAHAL FOREVER. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAHAL..... THANK YOU SO MUCH. Until we see each other again. GOD BLESS

Love,
Mahal Doyit

Dear Uncle Eddie,

I just want to thank you for all that you have done for our family.  You were kind, thoughtful and generous. You were always willing to share your wisdom, knowledge and resources. You also gave us the gift of laughter with your quick wit and jokes. While we did not have many face to face meetings due to distance, you still managed to convey your love and care for us. 

I thank God that He led you to my aunt on that Thanksgiving day in 1976. She was very blessed to have met and married a very good man. You were a wonderful husband to her and a great father to Edward and a doting grandpa to EJ. What a blessing you were to them and all who knew you. We will miss you here but I know this is not the end. 

“Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8

You are now with  our Lord Jesus Christ, Uncle Eddie.  Welcome home.

Love,
Thechie

Rest in peace, Uncle Eddie...thank you for our genuine kindness. We will miss you.
