Undas 2024

This weekend we remember our beloved who passed away. I am sharing recent photos from my visit to our departed relatives at the Cabatuan Catholic Cemetery.

The Cabatuan Mortuary Chapel is a heritage site

Inside is a simple altar aside from the tombs

Many of our beloved relatives from my father's side of the family rest here at different locations around the cemetery. The main tombs are near the mortuary chapel. Their names are listed there:

Nay Andang, an uncle and other aunts whom I have no memory of.

Tay Adoy is the first cousin of my father and Nay Vacion is the sister of my mother. My parents met at their home in Manila when they both lived there while studying in Manila.

Nay Agrong, Nay Pilar and Manong Edgar

Nay Paring who passed away early this year

Nay Nene, Nay Idad, Tay Puren (the Korean War veteran), my Lola Pinac (mother of Tatay) - Nay Nene's name is mispelled. It should be Enriqueta. Lola's date of passing is also incorrect. It should be December 23, 1983. I still remember us receiving the telegram informing of her passing on Christmas Day of 1983. That was devastating news for us then.
