Dear Ma'am Cherry,

It's tough saying goodbye to someone close to my heart. Words can neither qualify nor quantify how helpful your guidance and bits of advice have been, both personally and professionally and I am forever grateful for that.

The office won't be the same without you now as not having you around anymore leaves a gaping hole in the workplace and in our lives. Your maternal instinct is so innate that each time you reach out to me whether it's verbally or thru SMS, Viber, FB messenger and workplace chat gives me so much comfort. You listen with all ears, no judgement, just sheer motherly love and understanding.

Nothing but kind words for you, Ma'am Che, as you'll always have my respect, admiration, and love.

Sincere thanks for everything, Ma'am. 🥰

Love,
Nadj

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness to everyone.  You were Bec's number 1 fan, and our number 1 cheerleader in whatever endeavors we pursue. You always celebrate our successes, and always vocal with your praises. You were selfless. Always worrying about the needs and  comfort of everyone but your own.  The workplace will never be the same without your constant warm and smiling presence.  Rest well, Ma'am Cherry.  We will truly miss you.

Love,
Agnes, Grace, Becs and Caloy

I've started and re-started writing this note so many times but couldn't seem to find the right words. There are so many things I would like to say to you but I feel words won't do justice to the amount of gratitude and love I feel towards you.

Compared to some of our teammates in CS, we've known each other for a shorter period of time--9 years, going on 10. I have nothing but good words for you and fond memories of those 9 years though, from the most mababaw to the really important ones. So many people have said that you have such a big heart and I can say without a doubt that I was one of the recipients of that generosity, whether work-related or on a personal level. I will never forget how you would always look out for us--and when I say us, feeling ko buong barangay kami na nakaramdam nito.

Our lives were truly more blessed and richer because of you, Che. You were such a source of comfort--pag ikaw na kausap ko, nakakalma ako because I know how sincere and good and responsible you were. Thank you so much, Che, for being our constant.

Only good words for you, Ma'am. You were an epitome of sincerity and genuine compassion. ❤️ Your loving and gentle nature has known no limits nor boundaries. You were good not only to selected people but literally to everyone you've met. You've put a loving imprint to each one of us thru your thoughtful words and gestures. We will surely miss having your presence in  every programs, general assembly meetings, trainings and outings.

Thank you for having our lives blessed with you in it. You will always live in our hearts. We all love you dearly. May you rest in paradise.

God bless your beautiful soul.

Love and Prayers,
Weng Benipayo

I  just want to thank you for everything that you’ve taught me especially during my first few months in CS. Thank you for your kindness, gentle care and most especially for your patience. I am blessed to have been given an opportunity to have worked with you even in such a short span of time. You are indeed a blessing to everyone. It hasn’t been hard for me to love you because you give love more.

Attached is a photo I took when you handed it to me as a gift for my birthday. Thank you for being so thoughtful. Little did I know that it was the first and last time I will be seeing you in person.

Though I wish we could have been together a bit longer, I am relieved to know that you are in a much better place now. No more pains and sufferings. Just pure and everlasting happiness!

Enjoy your time with the Lord!

Love lots,
Rona Smith

To my dearest Ma'am Cherry,

My MCC experience will never be the same without you. I can still vividly remember my very first day in your team where you welcome us with your genuine and sweetest smile. God knows how nervous I am during that time as I was assigned in your team while all I know is to say "Thank you for calling, Metrobank Card".... When my outlook was set-up, I was so scared using it as I might send unnecessary messages. But you were there to remind me that everyone has their own firsts... and assured me that I was handpicked to part of your team because they believe in me... and the rest is history. Words can't express how grateful I am for all the assistance you provided me. You are indeed one of my greatest mentors not just in MCC. I just felt guilty that as the time passed by, our physical interaction became lesser and lesser... but I can say there is no special occasion that you will miss sending me your sweet messages. Our last email exchanges in January of this year means a lot to me now... I just hope I spend more time with you that time... but with your pure heart, I know you will understanding our situation.

Rest well in the loving embrace of our Lord. Your sweet journey on earth is just temporary and now we can say you already find your way home. Please pray for us until we all meet again. I love you, Ma'am Cherry, my one and only sexy boss😍.

To Alexa, your Mom is very proud of how you have become. Since you were a kid until you grow up as a fine young lady, she never ceases to mention how happy she was for having you. Continue the love that she has in her heart and live your life to the fullest as she always wants the best for you. Everything happened for a reason and I am sure God is always there to guide and support you. I will pray for you and your family.

My interaction with you was very limited. But in those times that I was able to talk to you, I felt how genuine and kind you are as a person. We are indeed blessed that you have touched our lives.

Dear Ma’am Che,

Double cheeseburger and fries – your all-time fave.  These pretty much sums up how simple-minded you are. How it made you happy.  How you beamed with pride and joy when you talked about Alexa’s achievements, big or small and thrilled to the thought of how much more she could become.  How excited you were when we talked about planning your 25th wedding anniversary and how grateful you were for having a faithful and loving husband.  How you put your heart to your work and made MCC your second home and CS your family.. I could go on and on..  Working together with you for almost 20 years.. feels like I’ve lost a dear friend, a sister and left a void in my heart.  With everything that you are, don’t even know how & where to start.. You always say how you liked my nicely-written letters, this one by far was the one I hated making the most for you.. as I hoped, not for this reason.

Let’s begin with a never ending THANK YOU.  You spent almost half of your life in CS and you never short-changed us.  You treated people fairly – from the officers, to the ranks, the blue boys and girls, messengers, security guards.  You made us feel special and cared for in every chance that you had .. from your sincerest smile, motherly love and care, unbiased listening ear, you were selfless - you made our work place a better one in spite of the pressure and challenges. You are one of the very few who could handle our VIPs impeccably, even those na feeling VIP lang :) You apologized repeatedly to Junel for all the tasks that you’re unable to do that she had to take on.. you wanted so bad to go back to work.. you worried about these in spite of the unbearable pain you dealt with – physically, emotionally and mentally.

The Lord lost one of his hands and feet here, since you’re gone  - you showed His love, compassion and shared your blessings generously  to those in need  – charities, calamity victims those who came to you for monetary and emotional support, and Im sure there are many more that we don’t know about..

Grace – a charming or attractive trait or characteristic -  according to Webster.  Your second name suits you very, very well.  This is how we will remember you.

And now, you have come home to our Father, rest in his love and eternal peace.  You will always, always have a place here, your second home and  in our hearts…
