"UNTIL WE SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN"
Inalala ni Carol ang mabubuting katangian ng kanyang ina na minahal hindi lamang ng kanilang pamilya at mga malalapit sa kanya, kundi maging ng mga taong nakasalamuha nito noong nabubuhay pa.
"We will miss the way she could light up a room simply with her presence. We will miss her laughter, her stories, her warmth, and the love she gave so freely to everyone around her," pagbabalik-tanaw ni Carol.
"She had one of the kindest hearts — humble, generous, selfless, and always thinking of others before herself.
"No matter what she went through, her trust and faith in God never wavered. She carried herself with so much grace, strength, and love, and she touched so many lives because of it.
"Mama loved deeply and wholeheartedly, and anyone who knew her was blessed by her kindness and care."
Pagpapatuloy ni Carol: "But now, Mama, you finally get to rest. Now, you get to be with Papa and Kuya again — the two people you loved and missed so dearly.
"While we grieve deeply here on earth, we also find peace and joy knowing that you are now with our Lord Jesus Christ, whom you loved with all your heart.
"Do not worry about us, Mama. We will be okay.
"You raised us with so much love, strength, faith, and resilience, and we will continue to do our best to make you proud every single day.
"So this is not goodbye. Until we all see each other again.
"Please give Papa and Kuya the biggest hug from all of us.
"We love you so much, Mama. Forever and always."
