We will definitely miss you our dearest beautiful Tita Emma.
Thank you for all the help, support, love and care that you gave to all of us. Your sweet memories will remain our hearts forever.
May you Rest in eternal peace in the loving arms of our dear God.
Send our hugs and kisses to Nanay Nene, Lolo Domeng and everyone there in heaven ❤️
We love you. ❤️
My dearest Ninang, you will always be my idol. ❤️
I can still picture those mornings so clearly, when I was just a little girl living in your home with Nanay Nene. I would watch you quietly as you got ready for the office, admiring how beautifully you dressed, how you carried yourself with such grace and confidence, and how you made even the simplest mornings so memorable. I was just a little girl looking up to a woman I admired so much, never knowing that those ordinary mornings would become some of my most treasured childhood memories.
But beyond the beautiful woman I admired was an even more beautiful heart. You always made me feel loved, welcomed, and special. That is what I will remember most about you, Ninang—your warmth, your kindness, and the love you gave so naturally.
How I wish I could go back, even for just one morning, to see you getting ready for the office again, with little me watching in admiration. Those moments will forever live in my heart.
Thank you for loving me, Ninang. You were my idol then, you are my idol now, and you always will be. Rest peacefully, my beautiful Ninang. I love you so much.
I was deeply saddened to hear about Tita Emma’s passing. My heartfelt condolences to you Tito Willie and the entire family during this difficult time.
I will always cherish the memories of the days I spent with both of you in the Philippines. I remember noong nakatira pa kayo sa Bancal I cook meals for you, especially the sinigang na hipon we shared for dinner after your work. Those simple moments of togetherness, laughter, and conversations are memories I will always treasure.
I will also remember our chats and kumustahan through the years. Tita was always thoughtful and caring, never forgetting to ask how I was doing and reminding me to take care of my health. Her kindness, concern, and advice left a lasting impact on me.
It saddens me that I wasn’t able to see her again last year when you came home. I was hoping to spend time with her once more and create more memories together. That is something I will always regret and wish I had the chance to do.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you strength and comfort during this time of grief and may the beautiful memories you shared with Tita Emma bring you peace in the days ahead.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Dimpol Rivero Zuleta

It is not easy for us to think that you are no longer here in this world my BFF Emma, I lost a caring, kind and a beautiful friend since childhood. I am not expecting that last year will be the last time that I can see you. You’re like a sister to me more than a friend, I will cherish every bonding moment, every chicka we shared together, i felt so much sadness but you will always here in my heart my Mars Emma. I will never forget my one only Best Friend Forever. Thank you for everything and being my friend. I will always love you my BFF.

Hi Shellah, Willy & Carlo,
May you have the peace that you need at this time of grief and mourning. May the Lord guide you and support you on this moment of sorrow.
We miss Emma and we know you miss her even more. In our hearts, we wished that she is still here physically but only the memories remain. Sometimes we may not understand God’s plan but all we need is to trust in his loving mercy.
We cannot imagine the pain and the loss that you feel right now but we know that we have a God who can ease your pain.
We know Emma as very prayerful and perhaps it is that closeness to God that gave her the strength in her life. We know she would continue to pray for you now that she is with our God the Father in heaven. You have an angel watching over you.
We will continue to pray for comfort for your family and for the repose of the soul of Emma.
Again, our deepest and heartfelt sympathies and please let us know how we could be of support in any way.
God bless you
Carol, Ricky, Carson, Richard, Jonrick
