Dearest Elaiza and family,
Our most Sincere Condolences to you. May Jesus welcome Elizabeth home, into his arms. Remember that she will always be with you, whenever you think of her, know she is near. God Bless you!
“Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord; and let perpetual light shine on her; may she rest in peace. Amen”
To my dear only sis-in-law Liza,
I will miss a soft spoken, witty and kind hearted person like you…
Your love for my brother is truly insurmountable as you couldn’t live without him…
But you were also a mother that never spoied and crippled a child, thus, Elaiza has grown strong, disciplined and independent.
I remembered you told me when you found cancer eats up your body, you took it positively…that GOD gave you a chance for the remission of all your sins. I didn’t tell you how I admired your strength that time….and from then on, I’ve been praying for you.
As I told you, my prayers for you, Joel, and other loved ones will stay as long as I can…
Be rested and peaceful with our Lord now…
Bye for now…
Marie
To Ninang Liza…….
Thank you for all the great memories and fun times we had together.
I will forever cherish these moments.
I love you and I miss you.

I’m so glad I was able to write to you and talk to you the day before God called you home.
For sure, as St. Peter welcomed you at the gates, Jomar was already there waiting with open arms.
It breaks my heart that we didn’t get to see you one more time. It’s been nine years, and we were all looking forward to your visit after Elaiza’s graduation. You’ve been our rock since Daddy passed away — Mommy’s comfort zone, and ours too.
Even though you were miles away, your voice still managed to echo in our home. You were our Ate — always present, always guiding us, even from afar.
We remember your words so clearly:
“Sisters, yung diet niyo ha.”
“Yung sala, wag lagyan ng anik-anik.”
“Vivian, ang kapal ng lipstick mo! Yung blush-on mo, parang clown!”
They were little things that used to get on my nerves — but now, they make me smile, because I know they came from love. You were always looking out for us in your own way.
I miss you so much, Ate. Please “volt in” up there with Macoy, Daddy, and Jomar — and watch over Elaiza. Keep looking after us, especially Mamu. The space you left behind is too big — nothing can ever fill it.
And even though we haven’t fully moved on from losing Macoy, we take comfort in knowing that you’re both in a much better place — together, at peace.
We love you, Ate. Saranghae
Thank you dear Liza for being part of my life. I am so sad. I will miss you
Our dear Elaiza,
No words can express our sadness for the passing of your mom, Elizabeth. Know that she has now reunited with Jomar in the embrace of our Lord.
May God’s love and peace bring you comfort during this difficult time.
Please accept our most sincere condolences! Rest in peace Liza!
Thank you Liza for all our happy and even sad memories…for all your trust and kindness…for being there when it mattered…and most of all for loving joel.No more fears worries and pains…may you rest in peace.❤️ Glynpresh
Dear Liza, we only met once years back but you sure made a very welcoming impression on us. You were so kind, loving, and always with a smile. We admired you for your great strength when our cousin Joel (Jomar) passed on. You delivered a very nice, loving and touching eulogy for him and from him. You are now with him. May you both have everlasting lives in the glory of God Almighty.
Dear Elaiza, our sincere condolences and prayers. Please be strong always and don’t hesitate to reach out to us anytime.
Dear Tita Liza,
Growing up with Elaiza, we are practically family. Thank you for being like a second mother to me. You were a wonderful person with an incredibly kind soul. A passion for art with deep kindness and consideration for others. You were always so caring and loving — anyone could tell. I always felt such emotion and feelings whenever our families met. I will miss you dearly. You will forever be in my, and everyone’s hearts who you touched with your virtuous character. May you rest in peace Tita.
Our dear Liza,
You are one of the strongest person I know. Your strength and compassion is silent but felt deeply by all of us whom you have touched. Deep love and devotion to our cousin Joel and Elaiza immeasurable. Your legacy we keep in our hearts forever.
Rest in peace Liza… until we meet again…
Cynthia, Raul and Tio Nesting
Hi Elaiza,
I’m a friend of your aunt Ann Marie, we were classmates from 5th grade thru 4th year high school in our hometown Cavite City. She mentioned about your Mom’s passing and how you took good care of her all throughout. I admire you for your strength and how you showed your love to your mom and made sure she felt it. Your parents were so blessed to have a daughter like you. May God bless you and guide you as you journey through life ahead.
Please accept my deepest condolences.
Rest in God’s loving embrace, Liza.
Sending our condolences and prayers to Elaiza.
Liza, we did not get the chance to meet in person but I was able to talk with you last year when Joel passed away. Now, you are together. Eternal rest grant unto you and let perpetual light shine upon you. Rest in peace.
Jenny & Oliver (Santos-Roan)
Liza,
We met during the loneliest point in your life when you lost our cousin Joel. Little that we know you are also battling your illness all along. Now you are with him in Heaven. I truly admire your strength and faith and how you prepared Elaiza for this most difficult time. Please know that Elaiza has a family in Chicago and we look forward to having her here and give our hugs and kisses. May you rest in peace.
Ate Liza was not just my eldest sister—she was one of the strongest and brightest souls I’ve ever known. Nine years older than me, she was always showing us how to face life with grace and determination.
She had a remarkable mind, especially when it came to numbers—a skill I never quite mastered. But despite our differences, we found a shared love in crafting. She encouraged me to explore my creativity and be confident in my creations. Ate Liza was the kind of eldest daughter any parent would be proud of: intelligent, beautiful, driven, and a consistent achiever from her earliest school days all the way through college. She had a hunger for self-improvement and a passion for doing things well, no matter what she set her mind to.
Looking back, there were times when I didn’t fully understand her—maybe because of the age gap, or because I hadn’t yet walked the roads she had. But as life unfolded, I came to see the wisdom in her words, the truth in her advice, and the quiet strength behind all she did.
I will miss her deeply—her style, her determination, and her quiet love will forever stay with me. Thank you for everything, Ate. May sakit ka na, and yet you still found the time and energy to check on our situation here in Manila. If only we were given more time… eh di sana natuloy ang plans natin. Na-hug sana kita ng mahigpit.
You may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Please be assured that we will always be here for Elaiza, and I will try my best to fulfill all your wishes. And don’t worry about Mommy—your sisters have her back. Elaiza and Mommy will be surrounded by love and support, just like you would have wanted.
Now you are together with Daddy, Ate Alma, and Jomar in Heaven. Pasensya ka na, Ate—I think I won’t be seeing you any time soon, kasi nga one realization sa family natin: ang unang kinukuha ni Lord ay ‘yung mga highly intelligent ones.
Parang ako na talaga ‘yung last mong makikita, lol.
Love you, Te Liza.
Always, Sahlee, your first-ever dating/party chaperone
Ate Liza,
Being 12 years younger than you, I didn’t really have the chance to get to know you while we were growing up. By the time I was old enough to remember anything, you were already away at college. All I knew back then was that I had an eldest sister who was pretty, smart, artistic, and always so stylish—studying at UPLB and chasing her dreams.
Still, I carry with me a few cherished childhood memories of you: playing hide and seek in our old house with the rest of the Day1 sisters… and that one time we went to the beach—just you, Ate Alma, and me. It was off-season, and we were the only ones there. It felt a little scary at night, but when dawn came and we finally went swimming, it became one of the most special memories I’ve kept with me. I remember you couldn’t contain your laughter when I applied lotion, trying to copy what you were doing—thinking it was sunblock—only for you to remind me it was tanning lotion. I rushed into the water to rinse it off, laughing with you the whole way.
I enjoyed my college years even more because I got to spend time with you when I stayed at your dorm in Vito Cruz. I loved that I got to sleep beside you. You would prepare my breakfast and make sandwiches for my baon, even though I never asked. I was old enough to do it myself, but maybe you just wanted to take care of the bunso of the family. You would even walk me outside when it was time for me to leave for school—even if you still had to get ready for work. I remember looking back and seeing you still standing there, even when I was already a few blocks away. You did that every single day.
You also helped me with my homework. I remember one subject in particular where I had to draw and color the anatomy of the eye. You offered to do it for me. And even though, at the back of my mind, I knew the colors weren’t quite accurate, I didn’t say anything—I just loved watching you show your creative side. Yes, I submitted it and ended up having to redo it—but I didn’t mind at all.
Thank you, Ate, for everything—for your quiet strength, your kindness, your gentle presence.
I love you so much. I always will.
Portia
My dearest Elaiza,
Losing your mom is something no one should ever have to go through, and I wish I could take that hurt away. Your mom loved you so much—more than anything in this world—and that love lives on in you. I see her in your smile, your kindness, and your strength.
You’re not alone in this. I’m here. Always. Not just today or tomorrow, but for every moment you need someone. You’re family, and that means I’ll love you, support you, and pray for you through all of this.

Dear Elaiza,
Eric and I are deeply saddened at the loss of your dear mother Elizabeth. We will always remember the kindness your mother had shown to me and to the St Justin Martyr Children’s Choir.
For many years at Christmas and Easter, she would make all kinds of interesting gifts to give to the children. I marvelled at her creative talents and the love she showed to those kids and to me. We still have many of the gifts she made which I often look at in remembrance of her.
Elaiza, you have shown such strength and resolve. Please know that we are with you in your sorrow, and we are there for you if you need anything.
Dear Elaiza,
I just want to extend our deepest sympathies at the loss of your dear mom. We will pray for her soul.
May to find strength in her great love to live you life.
We will also remember your dad.
May God give you peace.
Best regards.
Msgr. Vid and parish of St. Justin, MRKHAM

Your mom will be missed, and she will never be forgotten. May her soul rest in peace.

Dear Liza,
I already miss our daily text msgs and our Sunday visits that started in Sept. I know you tried to fight the big C for Elaiza’s sake. Your strong faith, positive outlook and complete surrender to God’s will helped us those who care for you cope and accept your fate. We prayed with you.
The cravings you requested on May 4th: Jeproks, Ube halaya, cassava cake and Biko will always remind me of you from now on. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hold your hand and comfort you while in pain and witness you afterwards eat the “oatmeal champorado”with gusto- apparently your last big meal. We’ll miss you, dearest Liza. May your soul Rest in eternal peace. We’ll always be here for Elaiza.
