Hello, everybody, it's 8:00 pm here and this is Jocelyn. I came with Jeannette and Stephen to offer prayers for Uncle Jess, with the rest of the family (Liza ands family, Shirley w/ her 2 girls). We were surprised to learn of his death when we got news earlier that he was getting better in the hospital. We prayed hard though for his fast recovery while in the hospital. The only thing we thought was to come here at Proj. 4 and pray for Uncle's eternal repose. I shared copies of the prayer to Manong and Luanne so they can also send their love to Joyce and Uncle anytime. With all our love, and thanks to an Uncle for the good memories we had during Christmas time, may he have a swift voyage to God's Paradise. Don't worry, we'll be here for you, too. God bless.

To My Dereast Lolo,
I love you very much.
Whenever I pray at the altar in my room, there at the wall beside the altar, is all the pictures of my love ones including your picture w/ Lola. I pray always that you may always be in good health, so that someday I may embrace you and say thank you with all my heart. But I guess, it is already time Lolo, for you to be with God and rest from all the hardships/trials/tests that life has given you.
Lolo I AM PROUD OF YOU, and I promise to thank you when we meet again, when also my time has come to leave this world.
Lolo, I miss you, eversince you left the Philippines.
Belated Happy Fathers Day Lolo!
I love you very much.
your grandson, Keith Mark
