Dear Amy, Carlo, Maydee and Claudio Family

I am sorry for your loss. Please extend my condolences to Tatay, Carlo, Carl & Kenneth and extended family. Ima was always kind hearted and welcoming since I arrived in Wellington in 1999. Fond memories of seeing her with Young Once at Johnsonville Mall and Filipino events. Also, her special concern of me not finding a wife every time I see her & Tatay. May God’s peace, comfort and love be with you in the days ahead. She is loved by the Filipino community. Hugs & Love, Noel

Dear Tatay, Amy, Maydee, Bimbo, and the entire Claudio family,
Words cannot fully express the deep sadness and sense of loss I feel over the passing of our beloved Ima. She was not only our Ninang but also a mother figure to us. Her motherly concern, tender care, affection, and genuine love have left a lasting imprint on my heart and will always be remembered and cherished.
I will forever treasure the last time Didet and I were with her, when she warmly welcomed and hosted us in your home during our visit to Wellington in June 2024. We felt once again the warmth of her love, her generosity, and the wonderful hospitality that had always been Ima’s trademark. Little did we know that those precious moments would become memories we would hold so dearly.
With Ima’s passing, we feel that we, too, have lost a mother. But the love, kindness, and beautiful memories she shared with us will remain in our hearts forever.
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing how deeply Ima was loved and how many lives she touched with her beautiful heart.
Rest in peace, our dearest Ima. Thank you for loving us like your own children. We will miss you dearly, and we will always love you.

Dearest Amy, Ate May and Bimbo,

Thank you for sharing your dear mother to me and to all of us, highschool friends. Lovingly remembering her caring ways, her unassuming and understanding treatment to each of us. Your home became our second home. I am saddened by her passing, without seeing her in NZ. My prayers for all of you and for Tatay. I love you all

Dear Tatay, Maydee, Pamela, Bimbo & the entire Claudio family…. We are deeply sorry for your loss. We are one with you in remembering Ima, she was like a Nanay/Tita to most of us. We have so many fun memories with her there NZ and when she would come and visit here in the US. She will be missed by so many people whom she has encountered in one way or another. May she rest in peace and be with our God in heaven.

Dear Amy, Tatay, Ate May, Bimbo , Ate Baby & family ,
We are very sad to hear the passing of our dear Ima.
May you find comfort and peace in the loving arms of our Father in Heaven.
Rollie & I had the chance to see her and the family in January of 2018 in Wellington. That was a blast again as usual, laughing & reminiscing the past life we had in the Philippines.
I will forever cherish her and the love she shared with me.
