From Ruth Calderon:

Ray and Rosalyne our heartfelt sympathy to both of you and the grandkids. We are grateful that you called us and be a part of her passing away as she was a BIG PART in our lives.

Seeing you and your sister devastated that night crushed us both . Since you already mentioned to T Bong her condition before driving there .. We were already in tears. Being in the health care profession we already knew what to expect but not until we saw her that really touched our core.

Your mom is full of LOVE to all the people that she meet specially to friends and family . I call her a HERO she helped save lives being an Emergency room RN the only one that handles( charge RN) night shift in Century City Hospital and ICU RN at Olympia Hospital and Brotman Medical Center. She loved her job and so very good at it. She is an excellent RN with great empathy and passion in what she does. According to my cousin who used to work with her that during covid .. she was the first one to run for the code . With her age she has a lot of strength and stamina . That’s how passionate she was in her work. Last time I spoke to her was during her birthday last March .. she was so happy talking about grandkids and enjoying life in her own way . She wanted to see me but because of Covid it has to be postponed.

As we all grieve in her passing we have to thank God that she did not suffer and she passed away peacefully with grace and beauty.

Your whispers in her ear and both of your tight hugs and kisses to her before her hearth rhythm went flat were so incredible. Her face looked beautiful and so calm . She was happy to say goodbye to all of us.

Our prayers that night opened up the heaven and angels carried her away to meet our Creator.

We love youFilomena Labayos Manukay Rest in Peace🙏🙏🙏

To all our family and friends please pray for the repose soul of our dear ninang Filomena Manukay.

God bless you Ray and Rosalyne.
