It was a year today on September 7th that
we laid Nanay to rest. One of the hardest part of that day was at the funeral home . . . when they closed her casket lid for the last time. (I knew that was the last time I would see her.) The second was at the cemetery when they were putting her casket into the ground. For me, the first was more difficult to bear. When at times I need the strength to “go on,” I just remind myself that it was “her time” (God’s time) and that she is no longer in pain. Yes it hurts to loose someone, especially one’s parents, but it was comforting to know and see that Nanay did not have to suffer for a period of time…. and 
being at her side when she took her final breath, so peacefully. And…it was comforting too to be surrounded by family and friends. Nanay…I love you and your forever in my heart! Click here for more pictures. (These were all taken by my brother-in-law, LR).
We all miss Lola. Some referred to her as Nanay, to others she was Lola, to all, she is a memory who will be forever in our hearts. Lola took care of what seemed to be all of the kids we knew, myself and brother included. Thank you Lola for all that you have done for us. We love you and we miss you! God Bless.
i know..we all miss Nanay so much!! But at least she’s all in rest in Heaven with God watching over her.. My life has changed since she left but i know that she’s always right beside me taking care of me and making sure that i am safe…Well, i love you Nanay and please take care in Heaven and remeber”mahal kita”or
“i love you always”…
love, hugs, and kisses,

So sweet Ari Beary- and do count your blessings because they come straight from heaven! Nanay will always keep you by her side; far, near, wherever you are. I love your thoughts and sensitivity.
