“It’s ok, you fought for 3 months. We fought the battle with you. And now you can rest in peace,” dagdag pa niya. “I will be comforted by the thought that you’re with Papa and Mama Azon now. And you’re face to face with our Lord. It hurts so bad to let you go, but you deserve to rest. Know that we love you and we always will.”

At noong Abril naman, aniya:“I’M COVID NEGATIVE. I’M DOWN BECAUSE OF SEVERAL OTHER CONDITIONS. I HAVE A LUMP ON MY NECK THAT’S GROWING BIGGER, AND SOMETHING’S UP WITH MY RENAL SYSTEM AS WELL.”
