Abigail Lopez My dearest Achi Jean, God has set you free - I’m heartbroken because I missing you terribly but it’s okay I know you you are in a better place now where you are pain free and having eternal rest. You were a perfect role model for all of us - kind, sincere, generous, wise and very loving. You were always there when i needed a life coach - cheering me up when my world turned dark. I’m humbled that you let me be part of your cancer journey. I will forever love you and THANK YOU for the great memories we have shared. Maayong Pagbaehae Achi!

Diana Que Jean I will miss your sweet and genuine smile, the one that would make a tiny wrinkle in your upturned eyes. You have inspired us with your quiet strength and steadfast loyalty to family and friends . Thank you for adding more color to my life with your spunk and quirky humor. It has been a privilege to have called you a friend. You will always be dear to me. Rest now in Jesus’ eternal embrace and be at peace.

Marina Chua Tan Jean A brave and selfless warrior until the end. With much beauty and grace, she battled the big C fearlessly. On top of that, Jean was still able to do much things like travelling and publishing books. We exchanged household ideas, recipes, and insights on various worldwide matters. Truly selfless, she poured her concerns over others before herself. Prior to cancer, Jean would regularly accompany her late sister, Marilou, on her dialysis and chemotherapy sessions. I have seen how devoted Jean was in caring for Marilou. Thus it was a shock for me to learn that Jean will also need my services. She took each treatment with faith and good stride, amazing many of us how she lived the most of her life. Despite her illness, Jean would occassionally text and ask me if I got enough sleep or rest after a long day in the hospital. Thank you, Jean, for the boardgames...you made our family bond together almost everynight to play a boardgame rather than spend time separately on individual gadgets. Thank you, Jean, for the meriendas you send to me on busy clinic afternoons when I missed lunch. Thank you, Jean, for the pictures you sent me during each of your travels because I can feel your joy touring those places and it makes me feel like I am travelling with you. Thank you, Jean, for the books, especially the one you and Mickey authored and published ("By Their Deeds: The Paternos of the Spanish Era Volumes 1 and 2) ... I was quite impressed of your work, it is more than any doctorate thesis and medical research combined. Thank you, Jean, for that final viber text to me that you love me and appreciate my efforts and concern...maybe because you knew that you may not be able to speak with me anymore from that day on, causing me to cry and cherish the times we had together. Thank you, Jean, for all the love and care you have shown to everyone around you. Rest well, my dear friend, you will no longer suffer. You are now an angel in Heaven, looking upon all of us. Until we meet again. Godspeed, Jean.
