This past year has been challenging with her care and without the following persons it would have been impossible to allow her to remain in the comfort of her home. We would like to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to her caregivers Jenny Guevara, Des, Lourdes Baylon and Alex Regilme and "Little Buddy" Alexander Louise Regilme, as well as many close friends that shared many cigarettes, personal conversations and where a pot of coffee was always shared. Also, a special thanks for Maria Fernando who was their nanny. Let us not forget Dolly who brought such joy to her life and cuddled close every night.
