growing up i always thought i was so lucky to have 3 sets of grandparents while most only had 2. it wasn't even until I was in high school that I understood the real relationship was that mama & papa are my grandaunt & granduncle, not grandparents. but the technicalities don't matter because to this day, i still see mama & papa as my special third set of grandparents. i have so many fond memories with mama. everytime i think of mama, i'm back to being under 10 years old-- exploring the attic in her house, excited to go to cunningham park, the box of toys she had for us, the christian songs she'd sing with us while papa played the guitar, speaking to us in full Tagalog in hopes we would be able to learn... I think of how put together she always was in her makeup, perfect wrinkle-less skin, curled hair, perfume, chic outfits, and of course, the Praise The Lord pin she always wore.  Mama loved the Lord so much and always extended such positivity and prayer to me at all times. I always admired her way with words and how she would see the beauty in everything. I used to wonder how mama could always stay so positive & still praise the Lord despite how hard things could be. Now as an adult, I can see more clearly now and appreciate her outlook on life & living as everyday being a blessing and trusting in the divine plan God has. it hurts that i haven't seen mama in many years... it hurts that i won't be able to see her again & that i wasn't able to say goodbye.. but i want mama to know that i love her so much, always have loved her, & thought about her all the time. she meant so much to me & i carry her love & guidance with me. i was able to become the woman i am today thanks to her being one of the pillars in my life.  I know that mama is home now reunited with papa & the Lord singing those same songs she always sang to us, rejoicing & dancing as she'd always tell us she would when she returned home to heaven. i love you mama. thank you for everything love, misha

My name is Celine, and I am Paul’s wife. Today, we gather to remember Auntie Coring, a woman who held a special place in Paul’s heart. Though I didn't have the chance to see her often, Paul's stories painted a vivid picture of her for me. I remember her as a woman with a radiant spirit and a deep devotion to God, always eager to share her faith with everyone she met. 

It breaks our hearts that her illness kept her from meeting our twins, but we take comfort in knowing she is now with God in heaven. Auntie Coring's warmth, faith, and love will always be a part of us, and we will miss her deeply.

Our deepest condolences. May God give you peace during this difficult time of grieving. We are praying for you all

The Garcia/Silva Family

In Cousin Rio’s house and saying our goodbyes

I fondly remember meeting our beloved, beautiful and sharp Auntie Coring for the first time. She chaperoned my 3 siblings from the Philippines to JFK and arrived with a warm smile and a graceful demeanor even after a long flight. Through her faith and instruction, I was encouraged to follow Jesus Christ at a very young age, especially when I felt alone. She brought me to work to Philippine Mission when I couldn’t attend kindergarten and kept me entertained with kids’ praise songs  and a beautifully illustrated children’s Bible that I cherished. Her consistent teaching that God is omnipotent,  omnipresent, omniscient and all loving with the peace that passeth all understanding comforted me during painful times. When we face injustice, she said do not worry and be patient, we will be eternally rewarded. Her edifying words stayed with me and has now passed on to the next generation. We continued to pray together as she spearheaded Zoom prayer groups (Philippine time) during the pandemic and gave every effort, energy and priority to pray and to worship as long as she could speak or chat online. We love you and miss you very much, Auntie Coring! I am sad, but I can hear you saying, don’t be sad, we will meet again rejoicing with our Heavenly Father! 
Love always, Liz

Mama was such a beautiful and kind woman. I've never met anyone with such a strong faith in Jesus. No matter the circumstances, Mama's faith and trust in God was always so strong and so present.
I always admired the outfits she wore and her sense of style. She wore the best dresses, wore the most stylish hats, and always looked so professional at family parties.
Mama would pray for everyone and had no hate in her heart. Even if I didn't see Mama for months, she would always say she was always praying for me.
Thank you Mama for raising my mom. And thank you Mama for making sure we always put our trust in the Lord no matter what hardships we are faced with. I love you so much and I hope you are dancing with Papa in Heaven, singing all the songs you want.
Love forever,
Giselle

I thank you for the nine months you carried me in your tummy, nurturing me before I even took my first breath. Thank you for giving birth to me, for nursing me with such care, nurturing me with endless love, and teaching me valuable life lessons as I grew older. Your wisdom shaped who I am today. 

As Psalm 90:10 says, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." Mama, you lived a blessed 90 years, with 88 of those years in good health. I feel incredibly fortunate to have shared so many of those years with you. 

You met God at 20 and devoted yourself to Him ever since. Even after marrying Papa at 24, your heart belonged to God. You lived up to your name with a mission to help others, showing your big heart in countless ways. 

You weren't a stay-at-home mom, but you fulfilled your motherly duties by teaching us about Jesus, the Bible, and its characters. I cherish the memories of you singing Children's Christian songs and nursery rhymes with me. You were my first teacher and mentor. 

You might not have been a pet lover, but your heart was open to everyone in need. Throughout the years, you took in orphaned children and sheltered the homeless, offering them love and support. Your faith was unwavering, and you boldly shared it wherever you went. 

You were not perfect, Mama, but you always turned to Jesus. He is our righteousness (Romans 5:1) Your love for playing the keyboard and singing praises to God was inspiring. Above all, you were a woman of deep prayer and faith. When Papa passed. I cried, but you stood strong, comforting me instead. 

I will miss you calling my name every morning. I will miss the the warm touch of your hands.  I will miss cuddling and kissing you upon waking up and before going to bed.  You called me your forever partner after Papa left.  

I love you forever. 
Your Little Boy Blue

It was always hard to explain to others how much my mom's aunt was so close to me and why we called her and her husband Mama and Papa; but Mama was exactly like as we called her growing up. Motherly, caring, strong, and faithful. No matter who it was Mama always put her best efforts to take care of others; her children, her husband, her nieces and nephews, her grandchildren, her grandnieces and grandnephews, friends, and whomever she happened to meet in her life.  She always had a strong body and never stopped moving no matter how much time passed. And throughout all those years she always kept a strong heart for Christ. She always made sure we knew we were loved by the Lord and although it is bittersweet, I am happy to know that she is reunited with Papa in heaven with Jesus. We will always love and miss you Mama.

- Love, Caleb

Grieving the passing of my grand aunt who’s more known as our Mama who took great care of raising my mom and being there for us in many circumstances with her powerful prayers towards us. Mama is a blessing to the world in many ways whether it’s her passion for faith with her prayers and worship, her determination to help and give and many more. I will always be grateful for Mama for raising my mom to be the wonderful blessing she is to me. I will miss the ways she’s lead our family in gatherings with our Savior bringing the gentle and loving Angel in her that God blessed us with. She brings this positive hope in the room any time I see her and even in last time I saw her. With the strength she had the last time I saw her, she still continued to share her wonderful faith and hope for us passionately as always and I will always love her for that. Mama I will miss you so much and thank you for the time you’ve shared with us and especially for my mom and caring for her. May you and papa rest in peace

Thank you, Mama, for being a godly mother to all your children and whose passion in life was to share your Jesus with everyone you meet.  I cannot remember if I ever told you that it was you who made me realize for the first time (not just mentally but spiritually from the heart) the significance of having one’s name written in the Lamb’s book of life.  What you were teaching us during one of our family Bible Studies at our house in the Philippines could be found in Revelation 21:27 which says “ But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.”  I remember praying like it was yesterday “Lord please write my name in the Lamb’s book of life” and then feeling that my prayer was answered. For your family and those who love you, you are earth’s loss but heaven’s gain. I love you so much and I miss you very much. Till we meet again…
Jordan, your Danny Boy

Mama, I miss the days when you were near beside me…
I’ll live in these memories until the days when we’re together once more.

Dear Lola Coring,
I still remember when you would play tennis with Lolo Erning in the Poconos. It amazes me how even in the heat and sun you would play continuously with the same amount of energy you started with. When you were not on the tennis court, I would see you practicing your faith. I remember once when I was 10 my family visited your house for a gathering and you held a Bible study. As we were reading the Word, I saw that you were quietly talking to God. I recognized the focus you had while talking to Him, not to be seen by others, and I greatly respected you for that. Your generous, put together, loving, maternal character has been engrained somewhere in my spiritual identity. This goes to show that throughout your life, as a true Christian, you have taken the responsibility to be an evangelist not only through your practices, but through your kind acts. Thank you for being a model for children and adults. You will be greatly missed. We love you!
Sincerely, Catalina

I’d like to honor the remarkable life of my beloved Auntie Coring, a woman whose spirit was as vibrant as her faith. She was a beacon of love and wisdom, always ready to share a comforting word. Our moments together were filled with laughter, fun conversations and the unique bond we shared through prayer and speaking in tongues. In those sacred moments, we felt an unbreakable connection, transcending words and reaching the divine. 
Her unwavering belief and infectious joy have left an indelible mark in my heart. Auntie Coring had a gift for finding beauty in the ordinary and an ability to uplift those around her. I will carry forward her legacy of faith, love and the joy of connection, keeping her spirit alive in my heart and life. I’ll miss you very much. Love always and forever, your niece Desiree.

A beautiful soul in the eyes
of god her creator
Thank you for everything
I never forget you. 
I love you Forever 
I miss you forever

There are no goodbyes for me. I will always remember you as my 2nd mother. You will always be in my heart. You never stop encouraging me when life gets difficult. Knowing that I’m sort of stubborn and sometimes answer back to you stubbornly, you said it's okay because you treat me like a daughter. You taught me and my children the value of knowing Jesus Christ, His unconditional love, His forgiveness of our sins no matter what. I remember the gospel songs you led, the Bible verses you’ve read, and the prayers during our family prayer gatherings. They clung to me all my life. You always call me for confirmation of financial planning tips and arthritis nerve pain advice. You always let me know you cared about me, believed in me, and were there for me. A lot of times, I feel guilty for not calling you as often as I should, you are always the one initiating the calls even though you are the one who was sick. Lately, in the last two months of your life, you apologized to me for not calling often because you get tired easily and your throat hurts when talking. I said, it's okay I understand, but I miss those calls. I will miss you physically, but I know there is going to be a meeting in the air in the sweet bye-and-bye with your loving husband Erning singing a duet with your musical voices, and exhorting praises to our Lord and Savior with other family members who are ahead in heaven. Enjoy your reunion trip in heaven until we see each other again when our time on earth is fulfilled.

Though my sister, Coring Policarpio Eustaquio, is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in the grace of God's everlasting love, bringing solace to those she left behind."

Tita Coring was a remarkable person and a woman of God who touched the lives of many. She was a loving mother, sibling, friend and cherished member of her community.  Her kindness, strength,and unwavering love made profound impact on all of us.
Tita i will miss you so much. Rest in perfect peace.

You taught me the most important lesson ever - to put my faith in Jesus, to receive Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour growing in the knowledge of Jesus and walking with Jesus (one of the many songs you sing often to remind me - Walking with Jesus, walking everyday, walking all the way). Mama, you are one of a kind, a go-getter, very assertive, never shy, especially to share the gospel of Jesus with others. To make my sad moments happy, I will remember to think about your singing and dancing to praise  Jesus, and when you pray with me. I’ll always remember how even in the busy morning before you go to work to MisunPhil NYC, you take time to open the Bible to read and pray with me. My Mama - she’s a remarkable woman of faith! I love you and miss you. How Heaven’s trumpets and choir must’ve been as you’re welcomed in the presence of the Lord.  
-Loving you always,
Debbie, adoptive daughter

We will always remember Tita Coring as one who was close to the heart of Jesus because it showed in her actions and in her countenance. Now and forever, she's face to face with our Lord and Savior and we find comfort in that fact. 
May God bless her loved ones and give them peace. 
-Love from Robert, Sherry, Hazel and Aaron
