Lemon,

Ronald was my classmate in law school. Will you please give him my sincerest condolences. I just learned about this unfortunate event through a friend. Two years ago, I was in the Philipiines and have tried a million times to get a hold of him -and two years later, this news. My name is Beng and please ask him too how I could contact him. Thank you.

Hi, Noemi.

I just found out about Ms Syquia’s death yesterday. I feel awful about not being able to say goodbye properly. I was in the only Grade 6 class (6-Lila) she taught in her first year at Miriam. She was a fresh graduate then. I saw her last when I visited her in late June 2006. She told me she was having twin girls and that she was about to go on leave to prepare for the coming of her babies.

I’ve been trying to process the information since I heard it last night but I still can’t reconcile with the news that she’s dead. I am hoping you could point me to where I can contact her husband Atty. Caringal. I’ve been googling but I can’t find anything on him. I really want to pay my last respects (even this late).

I really hope you can help.

Thanks.

Ms Syquia was my sibika teacher in third grade. I learned about this last saturday lang. Sayang di man lang ako nakadalaw. She was one of the best teacher I ever had. Si Miss Navarro din pala. sigh. It’s so sad to hear that:( By anychacne, would you know if a mass would be said on the 40th day?

One of my bestfriends died of pulmonary embolism three hours after she delivered her baby. She was only 23 years old that time. Her son is 15 years old now.

@Lemon- what a small world. I know it was hard to ask but I did anyway. I was quite suprised that he even approached me, a stranger seated alone before my daughter joined me. I feel so sad for the twins and the boys and Ronald of course. I told Ronald that I know the loss is so devastating and that if he needed some sort of grief support group, I can refer him to one that involves loss of a spouse. (Compassionate friends is for loss of a child)

noemi, i just read this post this pm. Ernie’s hubby is my good friend, Ronald, classmate in lawschool. I met Ernie once before the BAR. I wrote about his loss in one of my recent posts. So pulmonary embolism pala ang cause of death? I didn’t have the heart to ask Ronald. It’s so heartbreaking for those little girls to lose their wonderful mom.

@gail- Miriam is well known for taking care of its students and faculty when crisis occurs. Maybe your sister is a batchmate! If she is in senior college, perhaps

yeah… Actually nga, Mrs. Navarro’s son ran into some difficulties paying the hospital, pero the Miriam/Maryknoll teachers and alumni who were very close to her raised the money through donations.

I think your daughter is my sister’s batchmate

@cris- That’s scary. I don’t recall hearing news of pulmonary embolism when I was a pregnant mother. I cant help but wonder why I am hearing of this complications all of a sudden
