    To my beloved Tita, I still can't believe that I'm writing a goodbye to you. It hurts knowing that you left us so far away in Canada, where you worked hard, built a life, and shared beautiful memories with your husband. Even though you were miles away, you were never far from our hearts. I wish we could have been there to hold you one last time, tell you how much we love you, and say goodbye properly. There are so many things I wish I could have said to you. Thank you, Tita, for all the love, kindness, and memories you gave our family. Your life may have ended far from home, but you will always have a home in our hearts. To your husband, we are deeply sorry for your loss. May the love and memories you shared with her give you strength during this difficult time. Rest peacefully, my beloved Tita. You will always be loved, remembered, and missed. Distance may have separated us, but nothing can ever separate you from our hearts. iloveyouusomuchh. Until we meet again. 🤍🕊️

    With every remembrance of you, Auntie, I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. I thank my God for you with joy. Thank you for the faith you shared, for the prayers you faithfully offered, and for lifting our whole household before the Lord. You served with love, you prayed with faith, and you planted seeds that will continue to bear fruit. Though your earthly journey has come to an end, the work God began through you will continue in those you touched. I am confident that the One who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Rest in the presence of the Lord

    You will be missed antie Veron we loved you rest in paradise 💖🕊️🥺🥺

    Anti Veron was one of the strongest and most independent people I have ever known. She was not only beautiful on the outside, but she also had a beautiful heart and soul. She was a woman of strong faith in God, and she always reminded me and our family to pray, trust in God, and never lose faith, no matter what life brings. I will always remember the times when she came home to the Philippines and visited our hometown in Cabugao, Ilocos Sur. Whenever I found out that she was coming home, I would always feel so excited because I knew that we would have the chance to spend time together, bond, share stories, and make more memories with her. Those simple moments with Anti are memories that I will forever treasure. As one of her nieces, I am deeply grateful for everything she had done for me and for our family. I am thankful for all her help, the things she gave, the words of encouragement, and the reminders that always motivated us to keep going. One thing I will never forget is what she always told us, especially those of us who are still studying: "AGBASA NALAING."Those simple words have stayed with me, and even now, I continue to carry them in my heart as motivation to do my best and reach my dreams. She also always reminded us to keep praying and to put our trust in God. I am truly proud of Anti Veron because I know how strong and independent she was. From a young age, she bravely went abroad to work, worked hard for her dreams, and made sacrifices for herself and for her family. She faced life with courage, perseverance, and faith. Her strength and determination will always be something I admire and look up to. Anti, thank you for everything—for your love, kindness, support, advice, prayers, and for all the beautiful memories you gave us. Your presence may no longer be with us, but the lessons you taught us and the love you shared will remain in our hearts forever. I hope you are now at peace, free from all worries, and resting in the loving presence of God. Please know that you will always be remembered, deeply loved, and greatly missed by all of us who were blessed to know you.

    On behalf our family auntie rowena's eldest brother RESTITUTO BALTAZAR To our most loving and cherished Auntie and sister 😭 As we say goodbye, what fills our hearts most is not just the sadness of losing you—but the overwhelming gratitude for every beautiful memory you left behind. You have given us such a treasure chest of moments that we will hold close for the rest of our lives, and they will shine in our hearts forever. We remember your warm, welcoming smile that lit up every room you walked into—the kind that made us feel safe, loved, and right at home the moment we saw your face. We remember your gentle laugh, the way your eyes sparkled when you shared stories, and the sweet sound of your voice giving us comfort, advice, or simply telling us how proud you were of us. We treasure the moments spent together: the family gatherings filled with joy and delicious food you so lovingly prepared; the quiet afternoons just sitting and talking, listening to your wisdom and life lessons; the hugs that lasted a little longer than usual, wrapping us in so much love that all our worries seemed to fade away. Even in the simplest days—just being near you, seeing your kindness in action, watching how you loved and cared for everyone around you—those were the moments that meant the world to us. You taught us so much without ever needing to say a word. You showed us what it means to be kind, generous, patient, and strong. You loved us not just as an aunt—but as a mother, a friend, a guiding light. You celebrated our happiest days with us and held our hands through our hardest ones. Every act of care, every word of encouragement, every little kindness you showed us is now a beautiful memory we will carry wherever we go. It breaks our hearts that we cannot create more memories together in this life. But we find comfort knowing that your love remains with us—that your spirit lives on in all the goodness you planted in our hearts. When we miss you, we will close our eyes and go back to those precious moments: your smile, your voice, your warmth, your love. You will never truly be gone, because you are woven into the very fabric of who we are. Thank you for a lifetime of beautiful memories, dear Auntie. Thank you for loving us so deeply and letting us love you in return. Those memories are our greatest gift from you now—something no one can take away, something that will keep you alive in our hearts forever. Rest peacefully, our beloved Auntie. We will love you, remember you, and cherish you always—until the day comes when we make new memories together again, forevermore.

    FAREWELL MESSAGE FOR AUNTIE VERON On behalf of the entire family of Reynaldo Baltazar, we would like to express our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude for all the beautiful memories, love, kindness, and blessings you have left in our hearts, Auntie Veron. To you, Uncle Jeff, please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved wife, Auntie Veron. We, too, are deeply saddened by her loss. We were devastated and deeply shocked, and it was difficult for us to believe that this had happened to her. During this painful time, please know that we share in your grief, and we pray that the Lord will give you strength, comfort, and peace as you face this very difficult time. Auntie Veron, thank you so very much for all the kindness you showed and gave to us. Thank you for being so generous, thoughtful, and caring toward our family. You never failed to remember us on important occasions—our birthdays, Christmas, emergencies, and many other moments. You would willingly give and help even when we never asked or told you that we needed anything. You were always ready to help and give because kindness and generosity were simply part of who you were. Above all, we will never forget that you always remembered us in your prayers to the Lord. Your prayers for us were one of the greatest gifts you could have given, and they will remain in our hearts and memories forever. We were deeply shocked by your passing, and even now, it is still difficult for us to accept that you are gone. We are heartbroken knowing that we will no longer hear your voice or experience your presence among us. But we know that there are things beyond our control. As painful as it is, we must accept the Lord's will and entrust everything into His hands. And as my personal message to you, Auntie Veron, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the beautiful relationship and memories we shared. You were not simply an aunt to me. You stood by me as a mother, a friend, a sister, and a companion. Thank you so much for everything you taught me, for all the help you gave me, and for the endless care and concern you showed me. Especially when I was hospitalized, I will never forget your kindness and the way you helped and supported me. During a time when I needed support, you were there for me. I will also never forget my birthdays and Christmases. Your blessings would always come, even when I never told you that it was my birthday or that I needed anything. Those are among the things that have truly remained in my heart. Those things may have seemed simple to others, but to me and to our family, they meant so much. You showed us what true kindness means—giving without expecting anything in return and helping simply because it comes from the heart. We love you so much, Auntie Veron. Thank you so very much for the life you shared with us. Thank you for your love, kindness, guidance, help, prayers, and all the beautiful memories that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. We will never forget you. Although you are no longer here with us, you will always remain in our hearts and in our memories. We will continue to cherish and remember the kindness and love you showed us. Until we meet again, Auntie Veron.. We Love you forever auntie♥️❤️❤️

    We will miss you so much, Auntie Rowena. 😢🤍 Thank you for all the simple but beautiful memories you shared with us. I will always remember you bringing food to my mom's house, especially your biko, sharing the cherries from your cherry tree and kale from your garden, and always letting my sister enjoy swimming in your backyard pool. Thank you also, Auntie, for being there on one of the most special days of our lives—our wedding. We will always remember you coming to celebrate with us and blessing us with your words of advice about marriage. Those words and that memory mean even more to us now, and we will always carry them with us. 🤍 These simple moments remind us of how caring, thoughtful, and generous you were. Thank you for always sharing what you had and for being part of our family's lives. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." — 2 Timothy 4:7 You have finished your race, Auntie. Rest peacefully in the loving arms of our Lord. 🙏🕊️ We love you and will miss you so much. You will always have a special place in our hearts. 🤍
