Thank you email from Fay
August 19, 2003
Dear Medy,
Thank you! Yes, I have many memories to comfort me...My dad was 90--a long and full
life...such a blessing!
Please thank our classmates for their support and prayers as well. I will write a note to
all later. Right now, I'm just kinda overwhelmed here...
Again, deep thanks!
Big hugs-- Fay
You have a child named "Gingin"? You know that is my nickname too? But my sister
shortened it to "Gingles"...Carol Coreces's daughter is also called
"GinGin"...boy, I'm in such good company--those YOUNGER cuties...haahah...

Oh, Medy!!!
Your email made me smile...and just feel so loved. I can't thank you enough--pero
maraming, maraming salamat for being there, and writing and just being so caring!
My sister called me around 1 AM, Manila time, to tell me, "Your friends were
there!" After she made cuento and told she "I had a blast with them"--I
told her, now they're HER friends too...so next time we're together in Manila, we all have
to party together!
Please thank the others for me, Medy. I am emailing those who emailed me; but--as you
said, some don't have email...so...
I have been thaking God for my father--his long, full life--and I also thank Him for my
friends whose support and caring bring so much comfort and sunshine. Hugs, to you
all...You are all so
wonderful!
Love,
Fay

Hi Fay,
Our brother-in-law couldn't get over the closeness of our class and how we are able to get
together to support one another. Like today for instance, we were: Garnet, Ads, Jopie,
Ellen and Ting(? your college classmate?), Missy, Myrna, Linda Tinio, Melin de Castro and
I. Last night Ads was there also and she mentioned some one or two who also went earlier
that day (but sorry, escapes me at the moment, but as soon as I remember I'll tell you).
I just wanted to tell you that we were there to say a prayer for your Dad and pay our
respects. Your brother in law really has high regard for him! He said to Garnet, that your
dad was one of the few men with integrity in WHO. He also admired his intelligence
and marvelled at how, even to the end, he had control of his mind.
Your sister Jojo was fun! She entertained us with many stories. She is so vibrant and
looks very happy. They are very sweet together. Your brother Ping looks just like you!
I'm glad I went.
So you do not have to worry, everything is being handled very well here. Use your energies
for Jim. Please be strong, we are praying for you and for him.
Love,
Medy
