You’ll be missed a lot Tita Beth. Rest in peace in the presence of our Lord God Almighty. Love you.
My prayers of comfort and strength for Chris and Pestano family.
Tita Beth still can’t believe you’re gone. Everytime i see your postings in fb and your text messages to me, I can’t help sniffling with tears falling out of my eyes. Since Chris added me to your secret fb site I’ve been trying to write something on how you become my Tita Beth but I can’t go on and finish it. I just ended up blowing my nose and keep on crying. It’s hard to try to recall all our memories knowing that you are gone— it’s tearful. Unlike when i was recalling memories with you when we talk — it’s all laughters and giggles. I was digging for our pictures when we were in Saudi, when we went to Baguio after TinTin’s (your inaanak sa kasal) wedding, even our pictures when Tony and I visited you there in Hayward at Nene’s place, when we were singing karaoke… can’t find any hard copy of the pics palibhasa di pa uso ang selfie noon kaya wala sa phone storage ko. I’m sure you would say makikita mo rin yan Gui pag di mo hinahanap. ?? You’ve been one of my prayer covenant partners in Saudi Arabia, my big sister in Christ who is always full of advices and encouragements. A lot more happenings, a lot more fellowshippings… countless memories. We become close and you become my Tita Beth. Balak pa naman sana next year pqgpunta namin dyan sa California ww gonna have a reunion sa Vegas with Tita Eve and the rest of our KSA friends. Unfortunately Tita Eve broke the news to me Friday very early in the morning that you’re gone. I was sad but I feel His comfort for I know that you’re gonna be with Him. You will be rejoicing in our Lord’s presence in the mansion He prepared for you where there’s no more pain and no more tears. I know you didn’t forget what I told you that you’re always in my prayers and you’re always being thought of. Tita Beth you’ll be missed a lot and i love you. Rest in peace in the house of our Lord God Almighty.

Today, May 6th is my beloved sister Evitha’s scheduled second day of viewing before we will lay her down to her final resting place tomorrow. Today also happens to be my birthday. In years past, when this day comes, she was always the first one to greet me on this special day of mine, via text messages or phone sending me her love, good wishes and prayers for God’s blessings and protection for the days ahead. As I was pondering about this last night, I was silently praying and wishing that maybe there is still a way for her to communicate to me, or just some signs perhaps to make me feel that she is still around and is in a better place now and that she will continue to celebrate my birthday with me together with the whole family as we normally do. As I started my day early today, I had my computer on playing some of her favorite Gospel and woship songs on youtube…,,and then one of my favorite songs on my playlist suddenly played at the same time from another website called “Spotify” …I was so surprised to say the least, how could this be? when I only turned on youtube to play music. And then it dawned on me of what had just happened – it is my beloved sister sending her birthday greetings to me yet again even from beyond… She communicated to me thru this song “Lovely Day” recorded in the late 1980’s by a Filipino band called Parliament Syndicate. The opening lyrics go this way: Seconds up and wakes me once again Wants me up just like a good old friend And I wait for sleep away in such a lovely day Thinkin’ maybe I should call you up and say That I love to be with you today Nothing much to do here anyway Will you take me for a ride out to the countryside Spend this lovely day together you and I…. Thank you my dearest sister for granting my birthday wish today. Now I am fully comforted knowing that you are finally home and gloriously resting in the loving presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ whom you loved and served all your life. We will miss you so much and tears of sadness will surely flow freely from our eyes as we will be saying our final goodbyes soon, but you will never really be far from us as we will be keeping you close in our hearts forever. And I’m sure it is also your wish for us not to stay in this dark place of sadness for long but to have faith in the Almighty God to heal our broken hearts and that there will still be “lovely days” ahead…
