Hi po! You don't know me, but I wish we could have been given a chance to meet and I really wish you could have met my son. From Gelo's stories, I know that you were loved and seen as a good person. You were described to me as tough, funny, hardworking, and generous. I feel envious of those who have met you. I could've learned so much from you about being a good woman. God knows I need all the help that I can get. I know this, because you have done a good job raising Gelo's mother. I will never get tired of listening to Gelo's stories about you. You have left your loved ones with so many life lessons and good memories. Your memory will stay in our hearts forever. I'll make sure to pray for you and those you have left behind. I know, in my heart, that you are in a good place. If you see my Dad in heaven, please tell him I love him. I hope to meet you when my time comes.

Hi, Lola! It's been many years since we've seen each other in person. I was so young to know just how precious those moments were. If I knew that those moments will be our last moments spent together, I would've spent them more meaningfully than I did. Even when I was younger, I always had a hard time expressing and showing what I feel. But to tell you the truth, I've been missing you for the past years. Although I don't show it that much, I wanted to talk to you, hug you and kiss you. I love you, Lola.
Thank you for visiting us last night. It made us feel very happy that you were here with us. You were such an angel. A very loving person and even after death, you never fail to show us just how much you love and care about us. Thank you, Lola. You will always be in our prayers. I will always include you and Lolo in my prayers. I love you.
I know that Lolo is very happy that you are together again. I can't even express just how I miss the both of you. But I know that the both of you will always be with us, guiding and loving us from above. I miss you, Lolo and Lola. I will look forward into meeting the both of you in the future. Please hug and guide me when the time comes. I love you.

Lola,
Thank you for all the happy memories and all the love that you showered not only for your children but also to us, your grand children. You are kind and courageous. You're motherly love is a perfect example of selflessness. You inspire me to become a better woman. I am forever grateful to be one of your grand children.
I am greatly saddened by your passing but at the same time my heart is at peace knowing that you will be happily reunited with all our relatives, most especially Lolo Ramon. It brings me joy that you are in heaven with our Lord God. Watch over us. Until we see each other again. I love you always.
Love,
Mae

To my Loving Lola. For years, I've been missing you. You're the reason why all of us, your grand kids here in the Philippines, spent our childhoods happily and well. Every drop of your sweat meant us graduating back then. Every visit you did, brought feast and hope to all of us. Your personality and vibe will always be a reminder that no matter how hard the situation is, we can sing, dance, and laugh it all out. I will always be proud that you're my lola, and will always carry you in my heart. From your most "humble" apo, Gelo.
