Liz, My Buddy ...

I don't pretend that these days I've been thinking of you and feel so sad and almost crying, and deep inside I am -- as you are facing the toughest point of your life. With all my prayers and supports, including my family, we know you have been fighting so hard and never giving up.

For many years we developed that friendly relationship at work, and you extend it too to my family. Froilan surely won't forget what you've done for him when he was hungry ***smiles*** Yes, you bought him food.

If things get worst, I want you to know that I am going to miss you, and surely it'll be years and a lifetime that you'll always be remembered. At this point in my life, I've been quiet at work, just because Conchita says: "I guess you're going to lose Liz." She knows that we are close together at work.

We have been through the hard times at work and we always made it. We shared thoughts and dicussed things together, like we are all part of your family and my family. You were there to listen the problems and happiness about my family.

You know that wherever I go on my holiday, you always wanted me to buy you souvenirs, and ended up buying you t-shirts. I didn't forget to buy you one when we went to Connnecticut. Mind you, Conchita reminded me to buy one for you. My holiday is not complete if I don't buy you a souvenir. ***smiles***

We never say goodbyes but farewells ... For we know we are all going to the same direction.

GOD BLESS ...

Marino & Family
