In Memoriam

Another Basaynon has unfortunately been lost, and has now joined our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our Fellow Basaynon, Mr. Cesar Estorninos past away last Saturday, November 8, 2008, after battling for many days in the ICU, with pancreatic complications. There was a vigil and wake service held this past Friday November 14 and 15, 2008 in the Los Angeles area. Cesar will be laid to rest in his dear hometown of Basey, Samar, Philippines.

Please include the soul of Mr. Cesar Estorninos in your prayers, as well has the entire Estorninos Family who is in mourning of this terrible lost.
