Does someone really feel the time when going home to our Creator? That's the first thing entered my mind when I read Francisca's text message about the passing of her dearest mom, Betti…... I met Betti several years ago when she stayed for a while in Songgang, China during my Domus China stint where Francisca was my boss. We met and talked a couple of times and spent 3 days of enjoyment during one of our company outings. My impression with her aside from being beautiful was a strong willed and very smart woman. I was thinking then that maybe in her younger years she was so beautiful and attractive. She has a certain moves that you can describe as "regal" especially when she wore black coat with matching sunglasses and gloves just like a movie star I see in French or American classic movies (I didn't know that she was a model during her younger years). By then, I knew, from whom Francisca inherited her character and bearing and for being a jet-setter……I learned that Betti was the original jet-setter, well travelled and always on the go from one country to another during her heydays…..she really lived a full life….. Seeing them together during our outing was really a beautiful sight for me…. I can't help not to think of my daughter and wish to be like them too when I reach the same age as Betti…..In all the places we visited, both of them were always the center of attraction because of their looks and height. In one place, Chinese kids were all agog to take pictures together with them. We were joking that maybe Francisca and Betti looks like "Barbie dolls" for them. May her journey going to our Creator be peaceful and as nice as all her travels during her life time. She is now released with all the pains felt during her sickness and probably socializing already with other love ones. Peace to the whole family, may the good Lord comfort all your hearts in this time of sorrow……. Maricel Garcia Manila, Philippines
