I am lost in words; I knew her as Jovi-met her through my mother Angelina,she called me the Friday before she passed we had a great conversation, she stated to me once she gets the feeling better we will all (local Filipino friends) get together and have our normal gathering, share each other’s Filipino dishes and play our Filipino card game and play bingo.Mrs.Jovi was very kind,caring, sharing and very friendly. I will miss her calls and texts when weekend approaches and that laugh of hers was so contiguous.Now I will always remember her because she recently hemmed all my new scrub pants due to the fact I wear them daily. This is still hard to believe that you are gone!!! We will miss you Mrs.Jovi!!!

To my lovely grandma,
I love you so much lola. Though this time is hard, I’m still remaining strong for you. I can’t wait to cross paths with you again someday & see you to brighten my face. You were a very strong, creative, open minded woman. I know you were in pain & i’m happy that you aren’t anymore. May you rest peacefully & you’ll always be in my heart forever. Though you’re gone physically, your spirit is still wandering the earth. I will always cherish our moments that we had together & keep these silly pictures you hated i took of you lol. Miss you so much lola & I love you.
