Dear Roland, Roque, Rowena and Raquel I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved father, uncle Mundo. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Uncle Mundo was not only a loving and caring husband but also a devoted father to his four wonderful children. His presence in your lives was undoubtedly a source of strength, wisdom, and love. The bond he shared with each of you was a testament to the remarkable man he was. I know that his passing leaves a significant void in your lives, but I hope you can find solace in the cherished memories you have created together. Uncle Mundo will live on in the hearts and minds of those who had the privilege of knowing him. As you grieve and support one another, please know that I am here for you. If there's anything I can do to assist or if you simply need someone to talk to, please do not hesitate to reach out. In this time of sorrow, may you find strength in each other and comfort in the beautiful memories you shared with your dear father. Raymundo's love and legacy will endure, and his spirit will always watch over your family. Although because of covid and our own busy and hectic lives. We were unable to visit Uncle Mundo especially in last 3 years. But we and the Milan clan will forever be greatful to your father, Uncle Mundo! For if it wasn't for him and his introduction or match making skills. Our Milan Clan may never of been. For that we thank you so very much! May you RIP and now you'll be reunited with your beloved Marcelina in the kingdom of heaven. With heartfelt sympathy, Arnold, Diana, Siann and Vohn

To my beloved Tatay, my heart will ache for you as it does for Nanay. For every time you told me that caring for you was a hardship, and that I should rest…i want you to know I cherished every minute with you to squeeze in every moment I could have with you. You took care of all of us until your body couldn’t do it anymore about a year ago. When I’m told that: “ your dad is lucky to have you”, I would proudly reply “ No, I’m the lucky one, my dad did everything for all of us!” That’s who Dad was…he was our provider, generous, kind/hearted, and always smiling the most warm and genuine smile-his teeth lit up as well as his eyes smiled too, stretching and squinting til they couldn’t stretch anymore. He nourished us with his home cooking every Sunday, always creating a buffet and always enough for lunches…for a few days. Dad fixed everything. we would consult him for everything that needed repair. When I moved into my first house, I admired these wild flowers that grew in my yard, i didn’t have a lawnmover at first, he would bring his…Dad looked at those flowers I admired and said: “ That over there, that’s weeds!, dig them out!” Haha, that’s when I purchased a gardening book. Dad was waiting patiently at my house the day Jasmine was born. Actually we were still waiting to be discharged from Mt Sinai and 45 minutes away, but Dad was already waiting for about an hour. Dad loved his grandchildren. There’s so much more I could say but I don’t want to bore you with my memories, i know you all have special memories as well. I brought him to the hospital Friday, October 6, it was about 9 am, he wasn’t well and I will spare you his suffering. Before the ambulance arrived, I began to cry uncontrollably, and as I did everyday I saw him, I kissed him and said I love you Dad. Dad told me: “Don’t cry, stop, it’s ok, I’m ready.” At the hospital emergency area, he asked me: “I don’t know why, why hasn’t God taken me yet?” My heart broke. I will say this, because I haven’t told anyone, I carry the same guilt and regret I do for my mom. I was there alone for both in the many many hours before their deaths, then went home to sleep because I was exhausted. They both passed, took their last breaths without me there…This will always haunt me. I love you Dad, more than you will ever know. I promise, I was listening and watching your every step in making Siopao and Palabok. Your Pineapple Ham-I will never do justice to, but I’ll do my best making it. If every man was like my Dad, the World would be at Peace.
