The Average Jane will Get Back to you Shortly...

I just received word from my mom in Manila that a dear tita (aunt) just passed away a few minutes ago.  She leaves behind a husband and 2 kids (one of whom is a teenager with special needs.)

It is indeed a very sad time for our family but still there is joy in our hearts for now she is at peace and is no longer suffering (she lost the good fight to breast cancer.  Has been fighting off the disease for years now.)

I recently started writing an entry with a more happier tune but did not feel right about posting it right away.  So in respect to my tita, her family and also to members of our clan, The Average Jane blog will be silent for a few days in order to give us some time to reminisce, remember and honor her. 

I will be back again in a few days.  Hoping for your understanding and patience.  Thank you.  L

Rest in peace, Tita Chappy.  You will be sorely missed.  Thank you for being such a kind tita even if I wasn't the best niece.  We will miss and love you always... L

May the Lord bless you and keep you...
