Memorial Day 2009

This is the first Memorial Day where I shall include Norman in my special prayers for the dearly departed servants and handmaids of God. My prayers and remembrances also go to his parents Woody and Melba, his relatives, my departed family members and friends. Godrest them all and we pray for a happy reunion in God's time. Peace,
Gabby

Uploaded this Peace Corps Nepal 2 Group picture of Norman's reunion last year because it was one that he really liked very much. He even enlarged it the Sunday before he died. Well, to his memory and delight, it will be immortalized in this blog.
Remembering all the dearly departed who have joined God in the happier life this Memorial Day Weekend.
Peace

Here's a pic of me with Norman and Ray having lunch in Baguio City Rose Bowl Restaurant in February 2006 before we headed back to Manila after a restful 3 days' stay there.

Norm with Pres. Ramos & Sen. Macapagal Arroyo

In 1992, John Christian Bramble, Norm's nephew came over to visit and we all went to the victory dinner of Sen. (now Pres.) Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Newly elected President Fidel Ramos and his wife were the guests of honor.

Another Picture

Found this old pic of me and Norman having dinner w/former President and Mrs. Diosdado Macapagal and then Senator Gloria Macapagal Arroyo with her husband Mike and sons Mikey and Dato, both of whom are now congressmen. Norman and I had just accompanied Luli to Washington DC to get settled after enrolling at Georgetown U.
