“It’s the first time in ten days that I’m not at a wake. This holy week, my siblings and I lost two lolas, mama and papa’s mothers,” Janine said in her message on April 23.
“Mamita passed away on my first free day and we buried Mama Guy on my last. Driving to my location today, I think of my two new angels and how they always powered through. I think of how I can continuously make them proud,” she added.
Pilita passed away on April 12, while Nora died on April 16.
