Notes |
- I am saddened to report that my wonderful wife of 38 years, Clarita, passed this Monday morning, April 10, 2017, about 1:30 AM (Philippine time) very peacefully in her sleep as she wanted. We were shocked on January 4, 2017 after a complete blood test, to learn that she had Acute Myeloid Leukemia, already very advanced. It was confirmed by a bone marrow extract and examination by three different hematologists and also the National Kidney and Transplant Center in Quezon City (Manila). Clare was 64 years old, and too young to die.
We had moved here last August, 2016, to share our final retirement years here in the Philippines. We enjoyed our travels during the first few months here, going to different islands and more. One of the hematologists had said Clare would probably only live a few weeks. Well, at least we had a little more than three more months together, and that gave us time to reminisce about all the things we've accomplished and the enjoyable moments we shared at all the places we've been and our lives together which were more than wonderful. And we've made some very wonderful friends along the way.
She requested cremation.
