    It really hurts to say goodbye to a loved one. We are indeed saddened by the demise of our beloved eldest sister Mrs. Felicidad Infante Macaraeg Fernandez,97. I know you are now at peace with the Lord. However, we lost a very loving, caring, and a very generous Ate. We will miss your smile, your advices as well as your reprimands when we have done something wrong. But most of all we will miss the many things you have done for us. Much as we wanted to view your remains we coudn’t. I am so glad and thankful that I had chance to see and visit you for a week at Union City on my first travel to the US sometime in 2006 and another week in 2007. We had lots of fun then. I felt and was touched by your wonderful accommodation with our equally very accommodating brother-in-law Cuya Eding. Thank you Ate for everything. We will always be in our hearts and minds. You will forever be loved and remembered by us. Goodbye Ate. We will miss you so much.

    We will miss you a lot Tinang Felicing! You never fail to remind everyone that family comes first that's why attendance is a must in all family gathering. The Macaraeg reunion, a yearly family event during Christmas, gave everyone a chance to know and be close to each other. An affair even my children is looking forward to. You were always a Santa Claus not only during reunions but every time you came to Manila for a visit. All of us have pasalubongs. Your thoughtfulness made us feel very special. Thank you for the memories, the love, the care, the thoughtfulness and the generosity. We love you.

    It really hurts to say goodbye forever to a loved one. We are saddened by the demise of our eldest sister Mrs. Felicidad Infante Macaraeg Fernandez at 97. Indeed we lost a very loving, caring, and a very generous elder sister. Because of her initiative in keeping the family members close to each other she started a yearly family reunion full of fun and enjoyment while our mother was still alive.She was a very good leader. We all know that she is now happy and at peace with the Lord. Much as we wanted to see her remains, we couldn’t because of distance. However,I am so lucky to be with her for a week when I visited her on my first travel to the US sometime in 2003 and another week in 2007. We had so much fun then. Since then we have not seen each other again except on fb. We will never forget all the many beautiful memories we had with you. Goodbye Ate. Your memory will always linger in our hearts and minds. May your soul rest in peace and let perpetual light shine upon you. We will forever love and remember you.

    We are deeply saddened by the demise of our beloved eldest sister Mrs Felicidad Infante Macaraeg Fernandez in the United States. We are more feeling sadness because we couldn"t view her remains for the last time because of the distance. However I was so blessed to have the opportunity to see her on my first travel to the US for a week in Union City in 2006 followed by another visit in 2007. She was so happy and very accommodating together with our equally very accommodating brother-in-law Cuya Eding. Those were the very memorable days I last spent with my dear eldest sister who is indeed a very loving, caring, generous, and sweet. Ate, you will always be remembered and loved. We will never forget the very happy and memorable days we had with you. Your memory will always linger in our minds and hearts. We all know that you have lived a very fruitful, happy and contented life on earth and now you are at peace with the Lord. May your soul rest in peace and let perpetual light shine upon you. Goodbye Ate! We love you so dearly.

    Auntie Felicing's countenance (her radiating smile) mirrors the purity of her perception of others, noticing the good in everyone she meets. She enjoys entertaining and smiles through the hard work of preparation and presentation, never hinting to the pain she suffers from her arthritic fingers. Such is how I will forever remember Auntie Felicing. Truly a big loss to us but, a wonderful addition to her final heavenly abode. Rest in peace, dear Auntie, and our prayers to your heavenly journey home keep you company. Maru and Anthony Malinao and the rest of the Macaraeg-Vilamil family.

    It really hurts to say goodbye forever to a loved one. Until now I cannot imagine that you left us and joined your creator. With heavy heart I have to let go of my emotions and think that you are already happy and at peace with the Lord. I will just think and dwell on the many beautiful memories I had with you.. You were indeed a very loving, caring, and a very generous eldest sister to all of us your siblings. You initiated a family reunion to keep us intact celebrating Christmas happily together and enjoying the holiday season and saw to it that everyone has a Christmas gift in going home. Until now we always look forward to that day every year. I am very fortunate to have each other when I had my first travel to the US in 2003 and stayed with you for a week in Union City and in 2007 for another week in 2007. I had a grand time with you then. Those were the days I will never forget. Thank you Ate for everything you have done for me and to everyone in the Macaraeg Clan. You are a legacy. Goodbye our one and only ATE/TITA/LOLA FELICING! We will always love and miss you.

    Prayers and condolences for Junn, Dolly, and the Fernandez family on the death of their beloved mother. "Lord God, we pray to you for those we love but see no longer. Grant them your eternal peace and let your light perpetually shine upon them." Blessings and love.

    We were on a cruise when we, my husband, Jimmy and I, met the Fernandez family. We were in a line, boarding the ship, it was raining. I offered Felicing my chair, insisting she sit. We introduced ourselves and I immediately knew that God had blessed me with a sweet , new friend. This was 2003, enjoying their company , then keeping in touch all through the years since. She was so easy to love and admire . Hope to be seeing her again when it is our turn to go to Glory with our Savior. Not good bye, Felicing, but see you later. Our love, Joy and Jimmy Gonzales, New Orleans, La.
