On behalf my five sisters, Gina, Suzette, Nanette, Diane, Dominique, and brother Erle, may I briefly share with you our thoughts this morning.

We deeply thank you for coming to say GOODBYE to our inseparable Mom and Pop. They were truly self-sacrificing immigrant parents that molded our characters and our wonderful lives here in America.

Our presence today is a testament to Mae's and Enrique's achievements.

They survived the tribulations of World War II. They worked tirelessly in their respective professions: Mom as a librarian at USC and Dad as a flight engineer at Philippine Airlines. They fed us, sheltered us and taught us well.
