Do forgive my late updates. It's been a difficult time for all of us. For our non Tagalog speakers, you might see the word "Ate" a lot (pronounced: ah-teh). That means older sister in Tagalog. Many of our missionaries from NY are truly devastated at the sudden deaths of Sam and Ate Weng. I would like to share the thoughts of our missionary Joanne L.
Ate Weng, words wouldn't be able to truly describe how much you will be missed. In a matter of one minute into our conversation. I already knew you were such a loving and giving person. The stories we've shared with each other made my Philippines trip even more memorable. I was blessed to have you become a sister of mine. Before I went back to the US, you burned me a CD with many Christian songs that uplifted me and I am so thankful that God sent you into my life to bring me joy.You've taught me to keep my faith strong and put it in God's hands. I'm going to miss seeing you Ate Weng but your face will always be inplanted in my heart. I will never forget what you have taught me and shared with me. This is not a goodbye because I will see you again.
-Joanne L.
