Dear Ron,
Bart and I were so sorry and sad to hear about Carmen's demise while we were in Bali.
I was walking through the streets of Ubud in tears. We had so much hope for her, so
this was a huge disappointment. We couldn't write with our condolences right away as
we felt the loss as our own, too, and so as soon as we found out, we had to log off.
I know that the funeral services are all over, but I really wish I could have been
there to attend. I think it is amazing how many wishes and condolences there were
from people. I like the way you put it, about her good works radiating like ripples
in a pond...she really touched so many people.
Angelique and Bart
Dear Jim, Ron, Rommel and Candy and spouses and twins,
Only we in the family can feel the true loss of Carmen, and of course you most of all. We have been grief stricken since day one of the emergency, not believing what was happening. Every day we have walked with heavy heart, not comprehending what was happening. We could not send you this condolence as we ourselves were grieving, devastated by such a loss. Angela is an inlaw but she has felt the loss personally, considering Carmen as her sister after 33 years of loving relationship. She tells Jose "I'll never forget her; she will always be in my heart and in my prayers." It must be that Carmen was such an authentic character full of spontaneity and unpredictability that she occupied such a grand presence in our lives. Even half way around the world it was so easy to think of Carmen, to remember her and her wonderful antics, her generosity, her devotion to her own and extended family. Jim, let us console ourselves with the thought that for us in her age group, it is not going to take long before we are again together: your dad, nanay and tatay, everyone. And Carmen will obviously talk the Lord to be the major doma of that reunion. We look forward to that spiritual event even with our heavy heart today.
Love and prayers, Joe and Angela F
My deepest condolences to you, Uncle Jim, Candy & Martin, Rommel & Caroline. I was really devastated when I learned she passed away so I cannot begin to imagine how you all feel. I know that I may have spent very little time with your mom (during her visits to the Philippines and most recently in San Francisco for Jet's wedding) but despite this I felt very close to her. She had a way of making people feel special. I felt I could tell her anything. I will miss the long conversations that we always have when we're together. I will miss her wacky personality and infectuous laugh. I cried so hard that day because I lost an aunt who I also considered one of my best friends. She will always be in my prayers.
