Thank You

Stories have been told. Experiences have been shared.
It just makes the family proud of Manoski -- my father. In behalf of papa and the family,
Thank you very much for being a part of his life.

Though everything still feels surreal -- Only time, genuine acceptance and a lot of prayers will help us move on...

We just hope all is well and comfortable to where you are right now!

Together with the rest of the family; Our mom and wife of Manoski, Emi; our eldest, my kuya Gio, his wife Helen and daughter, Gabbie in Hong Kong, Manoski's unica hija, my sister Ate Nina and our bunso, Enzo; Dad's siblings, her ate; my Tita Rita and her family and lastly, their bunso, my Tita Vickie and family -- we are definitely overwhelmed with the SUPPORT, prayers, stories and experiences with papa and words of endearment as well as, the sympathy expressed by everyone. We can't think of anything more on how to extend our deepest heartfelt appreciation.


To the people who loved and paid respect to papa as well as his good comrades from the Ateneo de Manila GS'65, HS'69, Coll '73 who went during his wake at the Our Lady of Peace Memorial Chapel in Antipolo City -- with our small chats during the wake, it unveiled more about my papa during his younger years and how he became an influence to his friends -- missing him most!

But, that concludes to everyone that he is definitely a man of substance.
We definitely appreciate all and really felt consoled.

Gio and his family are now back in Hong Kong and misses papa. My Ate Nina (who's leaving for Norway as a Registered Nurse in a month's time), my fiance Rica and I (scheduled to tie the knot on January 01, 2010) are now back in Davao and misses papa. Our youngest, Enzo (based in Manila and is currently a working student) will still be in Manila accompanied by our mom and papa's siblings and their beloved families; Tita Rita and Tita Vickie, until papa's 40th day -- misses papa.

I humbly request to please light a candle for Manoski on April 4th (his 40th day).

Thank you very much for all your support, mass offerings, prayers and for everyone responsible for the upcoming memorial mass at the Ateneo de Manila College Chapel on March 19th with a simple dinner in a restaurant along Katipunan to follow -- Dad will surely be happy and honored with that.

Your gestures are definitely overwhelming and beyond payment!

I just thank the Father for giving papa the opportunity to belong to a very united batch in the Ateneo that surely knows the definition and comprehension of SUPPORT SYSTEM and BROTHERHOOD! May God's favor rest upon everyone who reads this email and wish you only the BEST!!!

with all our love and sincerest gratitude
