GAUDELIA P. TORIBIO
Greets relatives with a smile when they
come to visit from Hagonoy to Bataan
Aster is your beautiful flower and the
shining blue sapphire looks nice on you
Understanding wife, mother, sister,
cousin, friend, and relative of the Garcia clan
“Delia,”
called you by loving brother Calixto, cousins, aunties, uncles, and “Daka”
Lived together under one roof with “Tata
Isto, Tata Jacinto, and Impong Huliana”
In the fields, you went to pick up last
stalks of rice after harvest time in March
Always looked for mother every day after
a long day of classes in San Miguel
“Pabasa”
in the chapel is one of your Holy Week religious activities in the village
Tender loving care provided to all your
children since they were born to the present
Overjoyed by the school achievements of
children and job across the vast ocean
Religiously prayed for the successful
future of children in their chosen field
Interesting moments in childhood shared
with classmates, friends, and relatives
Brought comforts and inspirations to
mother, Lucila, when she was very ill
Inspired to succeed in life by her
industrious mother, father, and grandparents
Observant person and learns what is
important that will improve life situation
