Dear Chris and Family,

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in the love of family and friends and in the many wonderful memories you shared with her. Wishing you strength, peace, and healing in the days ahead. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May your mom rest in peace in God’s presence. Amen.  🙏

We are deeply heartbroken by the passing of Rosanne, a truly remarkable and irreplaceable soul. Words feel insufficient to capture how much she meant to our family, but we want you to know how profoundly she touched our lives.

Rosanne was so much more than a sister-in-law to me — she was our family’s quiet strength and steadfast defender. In every challenge we faced, she stood beside us, ready to support and protect with unwavering loyalty. We always knew that no matter what difficulties arose, Rosanne would be there, offering her strength and her heart.

She had a rare and beautiful gift for fairness. As our family’s advocate, she listened to every side with patience and grace, never letting bias cloud her judgment. She had a way of helping us see clearly, of bringing calm to moments of tension, and of guiding us toward understanding. That gift was a true blessing to everyone who knew her.

Her kindness was boundless. She was a portal to her family, opening her heart and her home, and making everyone feel welcomed, valued, and always with a generous spirit.

Though we cannot be there with you in person to share in this moment of grief, please know that our spirits are with you — in prayer, in remembrance, and in heartfelt sympathy. We are holding you close in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time, and we share in the depth of your loss.

Rosanne’s legacy of love, fairness, and kindness will live on in all of us. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories she leaves behind, and may her gentle spirit continue to guide and watch over your family.

With deepest love and sympathy,

Aunt Shirley Castro and family.

Sample exchanges with @Rosanne Castro-Maniago depicting her very solid faith,  love, dedication for the Lord and in His ministry .despite the difficult financial situations they're in because of their medical problems, still she thought of sharing financial resources for the work of the Lord in my home church of Makati Gospel and my brother's church in NCBC. I know the Lord has her rewards for her; in heaven and even extending for her family while they're still here on earth. Nothing is ever wasted...I miss @Rosanne Castro-Maniago in our every  Saturday Bible session😭

These are our exchanges in Messenger depicting her deep faith full confidence ,trust in the lord despite the difficult times they're into. Her generosity for the Lord's ministry is still on top of it all!

Goodbye for now Rosanne. Thank you for spending you precious 2 hours  every Friday with us in the last 2 years singing with us, inspiring us , praying with us , lifting us up thank you for the friendship , sisterhood , i love you sister! 

And for the family,  remember the words of the Apostle  Paul, “ to be absent in the body is to be with the Lord”. -

 love always from

Rosanne was my groupmate for 4 years during medical school at UERMMMC. I remember her as a very joyful, sociable, motherly, helpful groupmate, very easy to get along with, at medyo 'malakas mag salita'
After graduation, we lost touch because she migrated to the USA and she doesn't attend our alumni homecoming.
Because of Covid, I started Zoom  prayer meetings for our Medicine Class '83, which became a regular weekly Bible study and prayer time, which has been going on for more than 5 years now. One Zoom Bible study sometime in March of 2021, Rosanne suddenly join us and she was very serious in studying the Bible verses and asking many questions.  I believe she has almost perfect attendance weekly. I clearly remember her calling me via messenger a few times after our Bible study in 2021, to ask more questions specially about salvation and Jesus Christ. I'm confident that Rosanne truly accepted Jesus Christ into her heart as her personal Lord and Savior, and this is very evident in her transformation. She reads the Bible everyday, wrote down her daily devotion, memorize verses, pray regularly, actively sharing the gospel message to her family and friends, and generously give financial support to projects, even for a medical mission in Bulacan. She was really on fire for the Lord and fully dependent on Jesus specially during her husbands illness, multiple hospital confinements and need for home care. Even during her own struggles with cancer these past few months, her faith was very strong and palpable. She was very sure of her eternal destiny in heaven through Jesus Christ our Lord. Till we see each other again in heaven classmate and Bible study groupmate.

Thank you, Auntie Rosanne, for being there for us while we were growing up. I still remember the time you came home from the US when Amelia was so little. Even though you were incredibly busy, you made sure to take the time to say hi, talk to me, and ask how I was doing.

You also helped provide for my IELTS exam—no questions asked, you just generously shared.
I’ll never forget when you asked me to request your Transcript of Records. Seeing your grades at 1 to 1.5, I thought to myself, "She must have been Magna Cum Laude!" I was, and still am, so proud of you. Even the school secretary at UE still remembered you.

I am going to miss the enlightening scriptures you used to post on Facebook, and I will deeply miss the moments we spent talking about our faith. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and insights with me when Dad was in the hospital and when he passed away.

My heart breaks today. Having just lost my dad, losing you now feels incredibly heavy and sad. However, I find comfort in knowing that you are in a better place, and in remembering what you always told me: there is a purpose and a reason for everything according to God’s will. I am so incredibly grateful that I was able to share my faith journey with you.

I love you so much!

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and the countless ways you touched our lives. I’m so glad I had the chance to see you a couple of months ago. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Rest in peace Ate Fely. ❤️

Ate Rosanne you were mentor, a friend and a great co-worker who always took care of others including myself! When I needed something the most in my nursing career you were always there to support me. Rest in peace dear friend!! Mothers never truly leave us. You need only to look into your heart and she'll be there.
