CONDOLENCE MARE



FOR Mareng NELIA DE GUZMAN
(Condolence to her family and loved ones)

     autumn advent
     the last remaining leaf
     falls down from the tree
     on the gentle prodding
     of Santa Ana wind

     in unison we join
     our collective prayers
     for the eternal repose
     of her soul, mercifully now
     in a pain-free world

     from Pareng Vic Gendrano
     9 November 2015




On the passing today of Nelia de Guzman, the mother-in-law of my daughter Juliet.

Thank you so much Dad for the beautiful poem honoring Mama. We are sad to lose her but ever grateful for the life she had here on earth, and the glorious life eternal that she is basking in now. Love you, Juliet
