To my dearest younger sister Chet...
How can I condense in a few words or a thousand words, a lifetime beginning when we're toddlers..namely 4 girls and our one and only brother. Although I am the eldest, in my early eighties, my mind is so clear when our past unfolds like it was yesterday. My siblings and I went to the same catholic school, attended university in UP where our dear departed Dad Sirio also an alumni. Our teenage years,weddings,raising families, doting on our apos..all these joys and happiness are immeasurable. It seems like too good to be true. Even when we reached our advanced years, in spite of settling in faraway lands from each other, we needed to talk to each other for hours regularly without fail. Somehow, we derive comfort, advice, laughter, updates on our fears, worries, developing physical pains, and our travel bucket lists.
Our God Almighty gave each one of us so much blessing on this material life. But when it's time, we bow with acceptance and humility. We pray fervently that Chet will now be in the company of our departed loved ones. Till we meet again..my beautiful and lovely sister in the realm of after life.
Love,
Ate Baby

I was greatly saddened by the news that Tita Chet had passed away. I’ve been in regular communication via messaging with Uncle Boy these past few months when she got sick and wondering why doctors could not come out with a diagnosis right away. Anyway, she is at peace now. I have very fond memories of Tita Chet when we were growing up. She had this very upbeat friendly and bubbly personality that made you smile and feel good inside. And I remember the colorful and tasty sapinsapin she served when we visited their home in Paranaque. When we visited the family in Toronto a few times, she still had the same personality. We are going to miss her so much.

Thank you for your sharing Nes. You had the second opinion that I always relied on. Our families created so many memories to cherish forever, including our visit to Galesburg to see your family and your Mom. And your brief visits to Toronto as well. God bless.

I will never forget how kind Ms. Acayan was and every time I saw her at Prince of Peace, she always greeted me with a smile. She was such a caring and loving person who was so involved in the church. I remember going to her house to visit Claudine and I felt so welcomed. I am shocked and saddened by her death. May she rest in peace.

My grandmother was one of the inspirations for me to continue music. I looked forward to playing for her, and I can't show enough appreciation for how much gratitude I have for her listening to me. She always had a smile on her face, and she brought the family together all the holiday gatherings at the house. I'll always remember waking up to her breakfasts and reading the comic sections of the newspapers she'd leave out for me. I wouldn't have been the person today if it weren't for her, and I wish her a peaceful new beginning up there in heaven.

Grandma truly loved your music and your playing Josh. I am sure she enjoyed your playing her favourites at the funeral home and the reception. She would have wanted to witness your starting university and discussing your subjects and your future with you. Thank you Josh. She will surely be missed.

I will never forget your unconditional love and unrelenting faith, two of your biggest strengths that shaped me and Joshua into the people we are today.

Thank you very much to all who watched and participated in the mass. Beautiful and solemn indeed. Rain was however really pouring during the graveyard ceremony that not a lot of people got off their vehicles to place roses on dear Cynthia’s coffin. Tears and blessings from heaven.
But equally beautiful were the visitation on Monday evening, and the reception that followed her interment. Various touching tributes were said and many expressed their love for her. A retired priest friend came to do the Monday evening service and gave a very fitting homily. Despite the rain, many attended the reception after the graveyard ceremony. More tributes. Also, grandson Joshua serenaded his Grandma with her favourites on his violin and keyboard in both events.
Over-all, everything went very well as we tried all we could to make dearest Chet/Cynthia proud and happy. Everyone in the family rose up to the occasion, and I am very very grateful for that. Goodbye my love, my dearest. We’ll see each other again someday.
And thank you to those who participated in the 9-day novena prayers initiated by two of the church groups she was part of. And thank you to those who posted meaningful and touching tributes in the funeral home site.
We love you all. God bless everyone.

I would like to personally thank you all for your support, prayers and encouragement offered to me and my family during this very difficult period that we just went through.
Let me first formally introduce the members of my family who have been around me as we supported each other, sharing our grief altogether as a family. (All members present and are being introduced one by one).
Our eldest is Claudine, married to Minard. They have 2 lovely daughters (our granddaughters) Averie and Sky. Then our eldest son Ray or Randy as we call him, and his wife Sheng. Ray is the father of Richard whom you have seen with us since he was 4 years old. He was closer to his Grandma Cynthia than to me. I told him those are big shoes to fill, and that I will continue taking care of him. Our second son is Reginald, single and is married to his job – as chef at the Scotiabank Arena where the Raptors and Leafs play. I believe they have 4 major restaurants there. Our youngest son is Ryan also single. Ryan is the father of Joshua who has been playing the violin and keyboard, serenading his Grandma. Joshua just graduated high school from St. Michaels Choir School where he learned playing the violin, piano and guitar. He was also part of the group that sings during Sunday masses at the St. Michaels Cathedral.
From that health concern that affected dear Cynthia last year up to last week, her health gradually declined. She continued to weaken, lose weight, lose appetite. For some reason, doctors could not definitely pinpoint the main problem that was causing all her symptoms. And when they finally diagnosed her condition it was already late.
And all the time, prayers, a strong faith, no, great faith in God kept her moving. And family – children, grandchildren especially, and her siblings encouraged her to move on.
When Cynthia was active, she was involved in various church organizations and ministries. On her own, she was with the Rosary Apostolate, the parish Seniors Group, and the Prayer Group for Life. And with me, we were members of the parish Charismatic Prayer Group where we have been members for around 30 years. And we were also together in the parish Marriage Preparation Committee and served this ministry for over 25 years. And most of you know her because you are also members of these groups.
Cynthia loved her work and whatever else she volunteered for, or for whatever she was asked to do. And I know you loved her, and you showed it to her. I can assure you that she loved you too. You all have developed a soft spot in her heart, some very very soft, and some not so soft but still soft.
I have been praying to our Lord Jesus, our rock and our refuge, and to the Holy Spirit, especially the past few days for wisdom, strength and direction so that my family would be able to successfully prepare for a good and honourable send off. And also asked Mom Cynthia to pray for all our intentions. Just yesterday morning we were told we could not do today’s reception here as we were late in submitting the requirements. Praise God for answered prayers.
I read that our Lord Jesus told St. Faustina this “Your likeness to me is through humility and suffering.” Cynthia served all her ministries with humility. And she endured various degrees of suffering especially the past year. But there is one more likeness that our Lord Jesus must have told Cynthia. “Your likeness to me Cynthia is through humility, suffering and time of death.” Yes, she breathed her last at 3:00 in the afternoon Monday July 8. And with that extra point, I know Cynthia has already been welcomed in heaven by the warm embrace of her Creator, and the motherly love of our Blessed Virgin.
Several years ago, Cynthia bought a small frame that still hangs in our bedroom. Many of you have probably read this, and some of you may even have the same frame. The saying on the frame is: “Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.” And we have been saying this to each other, especially when either one of us is depressed or going through a rough time. I continuously whispered this to her in the hospital.
Well, nothing but the best for the both of us during our married life. Almighty God probably said, “I have given you all the best Cynthia, it is time for you to return to me and serve me in heaven.” The best is yet to be. Maybe, just maybe, when it is time for me to go and God calls me, our Lord Jesus will look for me, reunite us, and match us up again. Cynthia was probably thinking of that reunion when she said “The best is yet to be.”
Thank you very much once again for all your support, your presence here with us, for all tributes and good kind words expressed about Cynthia. Many of you helped us go through this and it will not be an easy task to name names. But you know who you are and we sincerely appreciate all that you have done. They will all be cherished by all of us in the family. We love you all. God bless.

Malou Andrada:
Cynthia has always been a lively and very pleasant lady, who was well liked by those who know and have interacted with her in the Parish. Both she and Rommel are a deeply religious couple.
We and the Acayans and a few other couples were in the Marriage Prep Program for over 25 years. As a Team Leader, Rommel and Cynthia are both dedicated in guiding engaged couples as they prepare for a life of married love together.
We have lost a dear friend in Cynthia. She will be greatly missed, but her spirit will always live on in our hearts.

My sincere condolences to Tito Rommel, Ate JingJing, Kuya Minard, Randy, Reg, and Ryan for the sudden loss of Tita Chet. May all the stories and memories of Tita Chet live on and bring comfort in your hearts.
I will always remember Tita Chet’s kind and gentle demeanour, and how her eyes always smiled. The last time I saw Tita Chet was almost a year ago on July 23, 2023 when this picture was taken. My husband and two kids got to meet her and Tito Rommel for the first time. I never thought that would be the last time I would see her.
Rest in Peace, Tita Chet. You will forever be in many hearts, never forgotten.

I’m Armi from Manila the youngest sister of Chet, who I call Sanse. I’ve known her 70 years of my life.
When she got married , I visited her wherever she moved , in Pasig , Better Living , BF Homes Parañaque , San Jose California and in Toronto Canada.
When she was still in Manila , we worked together in a family business named Carter and were even seatmates in our cubicle. When I was pregnant with my first baby Michiko in 1983 she was my go to for all my questions as she was also pregnant with Ryan / Nikko in 1983.
Year 1986 was very hard for me when they migrated to USA ,then Canada. I visited her in San Jose California and later in Toronto . We communicated by snail mail at first but then email, then thru viber.
We went on cruises together in Alaska, Caribbean and Russia and Baltic. We enjoyed those happy times. Whenever she and Rommel would attend college reunions or visit Manila relatives they would stay at my place . Last visit to Manila was at the beautiful wedding of Randy and Sheng in Nov 2017 and we saw each other last Aug 2018 at Golden wedding of my sister Tating in California. Such is the closeness and bond we shared .
I am saddened that last year I wanted to visit her in Canada but she declined as she was feeling weak to entertain. I should have just surprised her.
However we continued the bi monthly lively video chats which started daily in Covid time during my lockdown 2020 in Morocco where we would appear in full makeup ,till the last time she called me and my sister Noemi in June 12, 2024 while I was in Greece. She related her aches but how happy she was that Rommel was always serving her, referring to him as her hero. We told her she was so blessed with Rommel. I wanted to ease her pain. Maybe God took her home early to end her suffering and reward her with her wish to go ahead first instead of Rommel as she can’t bear it otherwise.
As I look back at those 70 years , my heart is filled with gratefulness that God blessed us with this beautiful sisterhood and a prayerful sister who not only prayed for her family but used her spiritual gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel , piety , to serve in the various ministries in the parish such as Marriage Preparation , Feeding the Seniors program , Rosary ministry and many others.
As a sister ,Sanse cannot be outdone in terms of generosity, thoughtfulness and gift giving . Im often a recipient of cash gifts , comfortable shoes , makeup , cosmetics, clothes, food. I’m glad Yumi and I were able to gift her sans rival cake on her last birthday Jan 11 which she liked and her fave Marsapan Pili bar from the Philippines thru Randy.
Her best gift to me was praying for me especially when I was in a lockdown in Morocco.
Goodbye for now , rest in peace , my sweet Sanse. I will remember your advice to eat healthy and exercise.
We always end our videochat with I love you.
I love you Sanse.
Armi

I was crying Armi while reading this. Your sister, my dearest Chet was the perfect wife one could ever wish for - always thoughtful, caring, generous, loving and everything. Even if your video calls lasted 3 hours, she was never tired and loved every minute of it. You never ran out of subjects to share and talk about. She was already hurting but tried to hide it. I loved her so much and I will really miss her. I will see you someday my love, my one and only.

Ethlyn Shim:
On behalf of the Prince of Peace Charismatic Prayer Group we extend our condolences to Rommel and Family on the passing of Cynthia, a dear wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
We will miss her very much. As a faithful member of our group she was always pleasant and easy to talk with. She had a calm, gentle nature and would greet you with a loving smile. She was active in several Church groups and was ever-caring and willing to help in any way she could.
I was privileged to visit her twice at the hospital and our pastor, Fr Efren was able to give her the Last Rites. We know that our sister, Cynthia is resting peacefully in the arms of the Lord for as a child of God, nothing can separate her from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rommel and Family, know that our prayers are with you. May the Spirit of the Living God give you his PEACE that surpasses all understanding. May you be brave and courageous at this moment of sadness. As St Paul encourages us in Romans 8: “Rejoice in HOPE, patient in tribulations, persevere in prayers.”
May the soul of our dearly departed sister, Cynthia, rest in eternal peace. Amen.

This is hard for me to write since it makes Mom's passing more final..
I honor you with this shawl, I borrowed it for my wedding in 1999 and didn't seem to have returned it. I remember our bonding moments shopping for my gown. You displayed your artsy style when crafting the pink and silver trees centerpieces as the wedding was in December at Prince of Peace.
So many memories to distill, but her faith stands out in everything she and Dad embodied and demonstrated to us kids and grandkids. She would always have a listening ear. Sometimes I wanted to talk about lighter topics, however she wanted to share my burdens and said the Holy Spirit is always there for me. Prayer is always first and foremost. It was very comforting to hear from her various church groups about her selflessness, generosity and genuine love of taking care of others. I will miss her joy when she talked about their activities with Dad as the resident driver.
She has a lightheartedness I will definitely miss. Especially in the pandemic, she would get animated when suggesting KDrama or Pinoy Netflix shows and we would discuss storylines. She liked the dramatic family movies so even though I gravitate to political thrillers, I would watch her recommendations so we could discuss in future calls. We would talk about food, sometimes share recipe tips. I inherited her love of mazapan pili nuts but not her love of durian. She always reminded me of when I surprised her and Dad with a meal when I was younger so I was glad that I was able to cook for her during more recent gatherings. She enjoyed my humble attempt to replicate the mazapan pili homestyle. She has shared her trademark salmon recipe however I can never duplicate the flavor. Her version is crafted with so much love and I will always attempt to make it as it evokes such fond memories.
I enjoyed visiting during breakfast time. Mom, Dad and I would each be reading a newspaper section. Mom would inevitably stop and share what she's currently reading and I would have to read it that second so we could discuss. She always had an interesting take on things and could always find a different angle of conversation. Then there would be time for the crossword puzzle where we would take turns guessing the answers.
Mom always made sure that my family is taken care of. She would shop at Pacific Mall or Costco and would find such great deals on food and clothes that she would be excited to shower us with. I will always think of her when I see our bright family pajamas and endless supply of leggings and hair accessories.
Mom was such a deeply caring and thoughtful role model. I strive to have her patience, gentle understanding and open-mindedness with my kids. She and Dad were always a tight unit, so genuine and supportive of me and my family.
She always enjoyed our gatherings, especially birthdays. She was always excited to provide the cake and ice cream, and would usually serve it together. Usually, we would take much time enjoying the dinner then she would be excited to get to dessert. She often suggested taking turns on the massage chair and the foot massager.
She enjoyed creating various pastas and stews, her spatchcock chicken, ribs, green jelly with lychee, various cheeses and her trademark salmon. After dinner, she made sure each of us siblings would have our own care packages.
She was always beaming in the presence of her grandkids. We all wore matching Christmas socks. She always made their home so welcoming with the warm hugs and comfortable slippers. In lieu of gatherings, she looked forward to our weekly Zoom calls during lockdown. Since then, she preferred video calls.
Mom was present at both my children's birth. She and Dad were fervently praying for her first grandchild Averie when she had birth complications. Now she is 20 and thriving. Mom was only too happy to assist Averie's university project about traditions in the Philippines. She was learning Tagalog and now to close, I would like to echo her words to her Lola, Salamat Po and Mahal Kita. Thank you Mom for always being a joyful colorful light, well-spoken, always dancing with your fabulous style. Heaven is ready for your radiant personality to be joined with your relatives, especially your parents, Ninang Caring, Ninang Tating, Ninong Eddie and Ate Fiona. I am grateful for being given you as my Mom. I will strive to be joyful as how you have lived. I love you and I miss you.

Rommel, sooo sad to hear this from Mae, who just called me up right now to tell me abt Chet. Been praying for her since I knew abt it. Can't believe another life lost on the bad effects of chemo. That's what killed Wynn, too. His immune system became so weak. Tears are flowing for this very sad news. I know exactly how and what you're feeling and going through right now... I've been there. My deepest sympathy to you and family. Praying for the repose of Chet's soul and your strength during this difficult time. The grief will be long. Sending love and hugs. God keep you always

Cynthia Reyes Acayan, I call her Mom. And it took me almost 8 years to earn the honour of calling her that.
But with your permission, instead of the traditional offering of kind words and praises of the patient, generous, and devout person mom was and how she lived her life dedicated to her children and the love of her life Rommel (I call him dad), I would like to share some of my stories about her.
Like the time she first got her first glimpse of me. Ooooh... I remembered that look she gave when she saw me sitting a little too close to Claudine. That laser stare that seemed to go right through you. It was purely innocent, I promise. I was helping Claudine with calculus and you can’t do that from a distance… at least at that time.
Supremely hospitable in offering me a study snack of curly fries, mom and dad asked the customary questions trying to find out who I was and what’s my deal, and to potentially reveal some skeletons. Little did I realized that the conversation we had that evening was the start of a years long interview process for Claudine’s hand.
We had 8-year courtship (well if you factor in the ebbs and flows of a nineties Filipino relationship, we were technically together for 6 months after considering the break ups and the make ups). But I digress.
During that time, there were the shopping trips both our moms would take as they got along famously. She would pick up my mother at Scarborough Centre Station so they can hang out at Scarborough Town Centre’s food court and dollar stores and their favourite haunt, Pacific Mall. If they weren’t talking about me and my myriad of disappointments, they were talking about family, food, Philippines and eventually the grandchildren they will eventually share years later.
Rewinding a few years back, when Claudine and I were finally ready, we did the needful to get married as a traditional Catholic couple. And that included the marriage prep course scheduled on Sunday (late) afternoons and spanning over a few months. As my luck would have it, mom and dad were one of the facilitating couples. I was not sure how I felt about it at the time, but I do have some distinct memories about that: One was Philip’s guitar play filling the church hall. How he played that axe masterfully! But it was Super Bowl 33, a Sunday in 1999, that was particularly special for me as I was the only prospective groom in a sea of prospective brides attending Economics and Finance component of the Marriage Prep while the Denver Broncos beat the Atlanta Falcons 34 – 19. I could not feign illness, nor could I use work as an excuse because, respectively, my own mother won’t cover for me as to no betray their friendship, and I wasn’t important enough at work to be on-call. With mom and dad there, I had no chance of absconding. But in all seriousness, I needed to attend so we don’t wind up in my parent’s spare room or Claudine’s parent’s basement.
Needless to say, it all worked out in the end. And the years that followed bore fruit… My wife Claudine, talked about the birth of our children, the prominence of tradition, and the joy that we that we shared as our family grew. But it was the look in her eyes when we presented to her, her first grandchild in 2003 and fourth grandchild in 2007. How the once steely eyed stare transformed into a look of bliss, wonderment, and gratitude; moreover, how the gifts of motherhood strengthened her bond with her only daughter.
Moving on… And on a more significant note, mom would experience a plethora of joy in her life. But in our conversations, I would remind her a few profound yet complementary instances of joy she encountered in her lifetime whether directly or indirectly or whether she liked it or not. They are: 5 Grey Cups for the Argos; 2 World Series for the Blue Jays; 1 MLS Cup for the Toronto FC; and the holy grail, one NBA Championship from the Raptors. The only blemish, albeit glaring, 0 Stanley Cups for our beloved Maple Leafs. Here’s to the 2024/2025 campaign to correct that.
I’ll leave you now with a poem near and dear to me. It encapsulates the homily delivered at her wake, specifically Memento Mori. It exudes the tenet of living your life to the fullest knowing time is a fleeting and limited:
Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Sleep easy mom. Thank you for sharing your life and wisdom with me.

Dear Rommel.
We are just numb, in disbelief and very very saddened.
While still in tears, we thank our Blessed Mother for lovingly embracing Chet and providing her painless joy as she is reunited with the saints and angels.
Our deepest condolences to you and the Reyes/Acayan families on the loss of your beloved. May you find strength and solace in your cherished memories of her. We love you and will continue to pray for you both.

If I could think of one word to describe my mom, it is this: SELFLESS
She used to say to me that we should "Give until it hurts".
And so she gave.
And it hurt.
Every time I needed any kind of help, my Mom was always there for me. When I was sick, my Mom and my Dad prayed over me. They always helped me, my wife, and my son with whatever we needed.
My mom and I used to have philosophical discussions such as: Is it better to help people now, even with small amounts of money, or, as I argued, is it better to grow the money first into a large fortune, so that you can help even more people in the future.
My mom reasoned that if a person needs help now, then we should help them now, and they would appreciate any amount of help that we can offer. Instead of just promising to help them in the future, when it may already be too late. Or that future might not even happen. The stock market may crash, a tragic accident can happen, even a pandemic, a sudden illness, and all the help we were planning to give in the future can be lost in an instant.
I never really understood this until my mom passed on. I was with my mom in the hospital ICU when she took her last breath. She was breathing through a ventilator and oxygen mask for several days, and I saw how difficult it was for her, and how much effort she needed to take each breath. Something so simple that we often take for granted, each breath was the most precious thing in the world to my Mom in that moment.
It all happened last Monday, July 8. My Dad, my siblings, and I were taking turns watching over my mom in the hospital ICU. It was my turn that morning, and my Dad went home to rest since he had stayed with my Mom overnight, and my siblings were at work. A few hours after lunch, the nurse came in and asked me to wait outside for half an hour, while they changed my mom’s clothes and beddings.
I sat in the ICU waiting room for a few minutes, when the nurse suddenly rushed in and called me back to my mom's room. I ran inside, and was shocked to see that my mom’s blood pressure and heart rate had dropped dramatically. I immediately called my wife Sheng and my family on Whatsapp Video Call. My Dad, my Ate JingJing, and my 2 younger brothers Reginald and Ryan, and even my son Richard were all there, and for the next few minutes, we all cried and gave our final words to my Mom. Her breathing was getting very shallow, and the pauses between each breath were getting longer... and longer.
Then my mom slowly opened her eyes and was looking far away in the distance. I imagine she was looking at God, as He was calling her to join Him together with all the angels and saints in Heaven.
I placed this crucifix of Jesus the Listener on my mom’s chest close to her heart. Sheng and I received this special crucifix at a Good Friday service at Teopoli, City of God, a few years ago.
Then at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, my mom breathed her last.
My family arrived at the hospital one by one, then we gathered at my Mom’s bedside, and we all prayed the rosary together with my mom for the last time.
--------------------
I realize that my mom’s selflessness and generosity were the result of her living each moment with complete faith that God will take care of everything.
My mom would buy groceries in bulk from Costco and Walmart, not just for their own household, but also so that me, my brothers, and sister, would always have groceries to take home to our families whenever we visited their house. I will miss the packs of longanisa and this delicious salted egg snack that she used to give us.
My mom’s best marriage advice to me was “Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?” And when my wife Sheng would complain to my mom about me, she would simply say “No Return, No Exchange”. But no matter what challenges I had in my marriage and in my life, my mom would advise me to always include God in all my decisions.
At this past Mother’s Day, on May 12, my mom had a special request for our family members after dinner… for each of us to go around the table and tell her the things we were most grateful for about her. I thanked my mom for helping to take care of my son Richard for the past 15 years, and for raising him up with a deep faith in Jesus Christ. I remember one time, my son and I were at a very busy food court in the mall. I had already started eating, when I noticed my son quietly make the sign of the cross and say the Grace Before Meals prayer, before he ate. I am forever grateful to my mom for this. And I am happy that she had the foresight to make this special request on Mother’s Day, so that we could all thank her in person while she was still alive.
My last conversation with my Mom was on Friday, June 14. Sheng and I were flying to Paris that evening for a 2-week vacation, and I called my parents house to say goodbye. My mom doesn’t usually answer the phone during that time, so I was surprised when she picked up. We had a great chat about her own vacations to Paris in the past, and the places Sheng and I should visit while we were there. We then said our goodbyes and went on vacation.
When Sheng and I returned, my mom was already in the hospital, and she could no longer speak. But she could still open her eyes once in a while and try to move her mouth. One time, I leaned in so I could hear what she was trying to say. Then I turned to my wife Sheng and told her my mom said I should eat more chips and junk food. Then I saw my mom actually frown briefly, and so I knew she was still there and she could hear and understand everything we were saying to her.
And I know you can still hear us now, Mom, from your new home up there in heaven.
Thank you so much Mom for all your help, and for your wisdom and lessons that we will pass down to our own children.
We love you Mom, thank you for everything.
Your Loving Son,
Randy

Q: What will you never forget about Mrs. Cynthia?
A: Things I will most remember about Ninang Chet is how wise and honest she was whenever she talked to me. I would always remember her having the voice of truth when she gave her opinion and advice to me. I also remembered how beautiful she always looked and her sequenced dresses. Even now I can easily imagine her face and voice talking to me and what she would say if I asked her for advice. She definitely always asked why something was and had integrity in everything she did. I am so sorry I did not spend more time with you and I am so thankful for your generosity and love throughout my life. Continue to be blessed.

Hi Ninang Chet,
My fondest memory is a picture of you, baby Jing, baby Jeff and my mom on a beach. That pretty much summarizes what you mean to us. You will always be our mom too. From the butterscotch brownies, the coloring books when we sleep over, your Solomon wisdom, your unique presence will always be palpable. Beyond this, you have given me a dad in Ninong Rommel, a sister in Jing Jing, brothers in Gino, Randy and Nikko. We will take care of them as much as you have taken care of us. I will forever miss the way you call me Bogie. (Hugz from Ada, Adam, Olivia, Andy)

Thank you so much Ninang Chet for being one of our second mom to us after Mom and Dad passed. You were a very caring, generous and compassionate aunt. I don’t think I have expressed to you that you inspired me to cook and especially to bake at a very young age. I remembered the spaghetti and the brownies and blondies you would make for us when we have summer vacation in your house in Paranaque. But I will miss the famous salmon dish you make. I never got to taste it.
Yes Michi, we also had a share of those kikay stuff that she’d send to us. But most of all, she would always remind us to always take care of our health. N Chet, you will always be remembered and will always be in our hearts and memories to be cherish. Rest in peace.
Condolences N Rommel, Jin2, Gino and Nikko and to the families. We love you.

Ninang Chet was always a very generous and thoughtful ninang/tita/aunt. I distinctly remember when I was a little girl, she gave me and art set with lots of coloring pens because she knew that I was into art and drawing. As I got older, she always makes a point we, her pamangkins, receive makeup stuff, perfume - anything kikay. She was always sensitive to our needs and we felt loved with her soothing, malumanay voice. She was humble, kind-hearted and maserbisyo. I am deeply, deeply saddened for her sudden loss. My deepest condolences to the Acayan family, especially to Ninong Rommel and my cousins Ate Jingjing, Kuya Randy, Kuya Gino and Kuya Nikko. May she rest in peace.

Dear Ninong Rommel, Ate Jing Jing, Randy, Gino, and Nikko,
In all of these years, we have been bound in love by our mothers since birth through all of our experiences as families in the Philippines, in California, in Canada, and in New Jersey.
It is very difficult to accept that another second mother to me and my brothers is now in heaven with our God. We feel your pain and sadness.
In these last few days, I find myself reminiscing all of the memories that mark Ninang Chet as a loving, thoughtful, caring, generous, and wise person. I enjoyed all of the times when we would sleep over at BF homes in Paranque with my cousins. I remember when Ninang Chet came with me and my mom to shop and buy my first suit for my first teaching job at age 21 years old. I was so nervous but Ninang Chet comforted with words, "You are special and smart...you can do it!" I always wear the two matching summer blouse and shorts that Ninang Chet gave me years ago from Pacific Mall not to mention the fun shopping spree that we all did at Pacific Mall. My own boys, Ethan and Colin, always talk about how they love the slippers that Lola Chet got them (only Colin can fit in them now). My husband, Mark, remembers the kind words Ninang Chet shared with him and his father, Wolfgang (she called him Wolfie), at our wedding in 2018. I am happy and grateful that we were still able to talk and see Ninang Chet and family via viber during New Years 2024.
We miss you, Ninang Chet. Now, we will remain connected with you through your spirit and through the legacy you leave with Ninong Rommel, Ate Jing Jing, Randy, Gino, Nikko, Minard, Sheng, Richard, Joshua, Chyra, and Skylar.
May God continue to bless you all.
With love and condolences,
Noemi (Vanie), Mark, Ethan, and Colin Schlecht

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beautiful mom. I keep remembering her beautiful smile and the conversations I have had with her in the past. She was always so loving and caring and had such a strong faith that I admired. I can't believe she has been taken away so soon. It isn't fair but I also know that it is best that she isn't suffering anymore. Sending you caring hugs and keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

I look back fondly on the memories I've made with Lola, and this candle's light yellow-brown colour is a nod in honour to the checkerboard on which many games of Chinese checkers I played and enjoyed with her. I will always remember her warm smile and words of wisdom she shared with me and many others. Though I will miss coming to visit, comfort lies in knowing she'll forever be with us in spirit, watching over us from the heavens above alongside others she has been reunited with.

Ninang Chet is my mother's third older sister. Ninang Chet and her family migrated to US/Canada the year I was born, so I knew of her through my mom since my mom and her siblings abroad remained very close; and the times Ninang Chet & family visited the Philippines as balikbayans. I remember she always sent my mom make-up pasalubong and I saw her "kikay" (a Filipino term) and stylish fashion sense.
It was only a few years ago when my husband David and I planned to migrate and went to Canada that we had more frequent communcations. Ninong Rommel and Ninang Chet showed us utmost support and encouragement, and were my family away from home.
I knew she was a selfless and Godly person because she would always mention God in our achievements and milestones.
David and I are truly saddened by her untimely passing and I pray her soul is back with the Lord. I also wish all our family and her friends that she left the comfort in this time of grief.
Ninang Chet, you will be dearly missed.

It is with a happy heart that I made the contribution to the Prince of Peace Church in memory of Cynthia. Cynthia was, and her husband Rommel Acayan is, active parishioners of the Prince of Peace Church. Not just one ministry are they volunteering, but several of the church’s ministries. Rommel had requested that in lieu of flowers, that contributions can be made to any of the three organizations he listed, one of which is the Prince of Peace Church.
I am also an active volunteer in my parish church, the St. Frances de Chantal RC Church in Wantagh NY, and so is my husband in his Lutheran Church. We can relate closely with the vibrant life a church should have and the financial needs it encounters. The Prince of Peace Church excels in the active participations of its parishioners, exemplified by Rommel and Cynthia. Rommel will always keep alive the presence of Cynthia as he continues to do his volunteer works in the church.

A salmon-coloured candle in honour of the salmon and other wonderful food Lola made for us with love and affection. God sent one of his strongest and most loving soldiers down in the form of my grandma, who I will cherish for time immemorial. She never hesitated to share wisdom even as the visits grew more sparse- my last memories included her helping me with a university project that wove her stories into my presentation on family heritage. Though not physically, she's here spiritually in peace and no harm, dearly missed by us but reunited with the family members up above who welcome her with open arms. <3

Sincere condolences from the Silverio family. Lola Chet is the sister of our late Mama Tating (Isabelita Reyes Fernandez), and the aunt of my late mother, Fiona Fernandez Silverio. We always remember Lola Chet as the strong, beautiful, kind, loving, and God-fearing woman who dedicated her life to serving God. As a child, I remember telling Lola Chet how much I love her clothes, and how she presents herself. She would giggle and telling me thank you. We are saddened to hear the news of her passing, but comforted knowing she is meeting with her late loved ones again, and it is certain that the heavens are cheerful to be greeted with a beautiful soul such as hers. We pray that our family is able to feel our love from afar & feels comfort despite this grief that we feel. Love you all, and please take care.

Tita Cynthia had beautiful eyes that smiled when you talked with her. Her loving nature and caring disposition will be incredibly missed by all…
The last fond memory of Tita was during one of our family Christmas get-togethers. She was trying to convince Ryan to let her do a line-dance number with Tito Rommel to the song “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire for his 40th birthday celebration. Ryan wanted to see a glimpse of the routine so she danced like it was an audition. It was so cute seeing her dance and having fun that it put a smile on my face. This will be forever etched in my heart.
Thank you for your love and support. Rest in peace, Tita Cynthia.
Tito Rommel and family, we send our deepest condolences and prayers to all of you during this difficult transition.

Ninang Chet and Ninong Rommel were our sponsors when we got married in 2015. We could not have asked for a better couple to be our sponsors to provide is with spiritual and relationship guidance as we were preparing for our wedding. We have known their family the longest and celebrated many Christmas/ New Years Eve holidays together when we were younger. We have always kept in touch with the Acayan family and will always consider them our extended family.
We are very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Ninang Chet and she will be very missed. We find solace knowing that she lived a very fulfilled life surrounded by Ninong Rommel, her children and grandchildren.
We will continue to pray for the Acayan family and keep them in our thoughts during this time. Please accept our sincere condolences.
