Paying our respect to Dinna Santiago-Martinez  I took Auntie Digna, Dinna's mom, to visit her grave on her birthday this past July 6. I don't think I ever posted these photos on Facebook. These were taken on March 6, 2013 at Dinna's wake. Rochelle gave a touching eulogy for Dinna. She would have been proud. Left to right: JF, Missy, Arnel, Renora, Tony, Sheila, Rochelle, David & Rachel.   Looks like I posted about Dinna last year at  In Memoriam: Happy Birthday Dinna Santiago!   Photo below is from our Hogan High School Baccalaureate Mass, days before high school graduation.

March 6, 2014. Flew to Chicago with my sister for cousin Edgar Allan Rivera's funeral. Miss ya cuz. Took a selfie to show all the snow. My family left Chicago in 1979. Since 1986, this was home when I was in town. Thank you Tita Lita, Tito Narding, Jun & Allan! View of the neighbors across Karlov St. I moved back to Chicago in April 1989 (I thought for good). I can't imagine having to shovel snow today.

I miss Chicago weather! Follow @Pinoybuilt Subscribe to Pinoy Built YouTube channel [post_ads]
