My daughter-in-law Ivy passed away at 7:50 PM this evening. Her wake will be held in her hometown in Pampanga.

Ivy had been in a bad way for the past half-year, spending weeks in hospital and resting in the granddaughters' house in Cavite.

We wanted her cremated and her ashes placed in our columbarium, but her dying wish was to be buried beside her own grandparents, who took care of her since she was a child.
