Sorry to hear....... Out heartfelt Condolences to the family. Regards to all and give our condolences.. Estrella and Zarate Family

Please understand that im writing for my Lola. My Dearest Lola, I apologize that our family couldn't see you there beacause we don't have the means right now. I've been praying before so that i could see you there personally when i heard you were sick and also when you were not yet sick but you know why i couldn't. In time i know i will be able to go there and pray for you though you are always on my prayers even before you were gone. I prayed, am praying and will be praying for you. When my father, Fred Estrella learned about the news, my mother, Eleanor Estrella saw my father cried for the first time silently. When i knew about it, it melted my heart because deep inside his heart he wants to go there in Canada as soon as possible to see you and hug you for the last time but couldn't afford to. My father told my mother that he remembered the moment when he was seven years old, coming home from school, the moment while he is being breasfeeded by you. He couldn't forget that. I felt the pain when i learned the news. Being the kind and thoughtful grandmother you are, i couldn't help but cry. I will always remember you for the rest of my life. I remember the time when you last stayed at our house though small you always want to stay here to be with my father and with us. You told us "Mag-aral kayong mabuti". I did study hard and told myself i will graduate in 4 years even if i had to work in case the family couldn't afford to send me in College anymore. With God's help i was able to graduate after 4 years and received "The Best in Feasibilty Study Award"(SCHOOLYEAR 2001)during the Recognition Day, that's the awarding ceremony prior to the Graduation Day. Unfortunately you were not here to witness that. I also remembered when we were in Landmark mall here in Makati strolling with you. I still remember your smile and your principles on life you want to pass on us. You love us unconditionally and i really appreciate that. We were also with you, Anne, myself and Alfred together with Tito Juanito when we went to Baguio and stayed in Benguet. I look like you so much, i have your nose, cheekbones, your smooth and shapely legs and your body structure. We have the same features, my siblings and mom always say. I always look at your pictures here, by the way we had it both laminated so that it would last for a very long time. I really resemble you. I hope and pray that you're happy now beside our Lord. I know he would take care of you. By this time, you're also with my grandfather Eugenio whom i wasn't able to see here and my Tito Dioning/Juning. I hope you're really happy in heaven now. My father misses you so much and really wants to see you but for the meantime we could only pray for you everyday here in the Philippines. Thank you for being the nicest, kindest, most generous, thoughtful, caring, concerned, hardworking and very loving Lola to us as well as being the most wonderful nanay to all your kids.Words are not enough to describe how great you are to all of us here. I know how much you love my father unconditionally and i know how much you also wanted to see and be with him before you left. My mother Eleanor, My father Fred, Aileen, Tatum, myself, Alfred(Beboy) and Anne would forever miss you and the wonderful memories you left in our hearts for the rest of our days here on earth.
