Cynthia Jocson

Thank you all friends and colleagues especially Rey and Alex Tapia,Deacon Charlie and Ding Buhay, Cecile and Chris Bauri and the Executive Board of PNAMH and FCNA-MH for offering your hearts and prayers to Cynthia and her family these past few months while she was battling with Cancer and until the end when she finally succumbed. Your constant support and presence really meant a lot to her. She appreciated all you did for her and I am sure that she is still in awe how we have all come together as her huge circle of friends supporting her and her family especially when they didn’t have a biological family here.

Every little act of caring and kindness you all did impressed Cynthia. She told me that she was so happy to be associated with you all and felt blessed even with her diagnosis. She said that she wished that she had a family here but then realized when she was sick that she did have a family here and could not have asked for a better one.

She was a true and dedicated nurse who made Nursing her life almost 24/7 working at various places and companies while she had the strength even after her diagnosis. She loved Nursing and she had the true spirit of Nightingale. Unfortunately, she loved her profession and her family so much that she neglected herself in many ways because what others needed was her priority.

She was a very prayerful child of God. She funneled this to her children and all can see how her four boys are so respectful, disciplined and God-centered serving in their Church and working in their community. Besides being intelligent, which they inherited from their Mom, these children have goals set not only by them but with their mother’s aid and inspiration. I know that Cynthia’s spirit will always guide them to succeed in their chosen careers for that was her dream.

So now that our friend and colleague has gone to a better place, let us all keep her in our thoughts and prayers. Let us remember our happy times with her and keep her in our hearts and prayers that one day we'll be together again where there will be more fun, laughter and love.
