Funeral notice for Fred Bulacan |
“Our dad passed away, peacefully, this past Saturday afternoon. It's been an emotional roller coaster-- mourning our loss, but all the while appreciating that his suffering following the stroke was now over. Coincidentally (or by divine design), Gina and I and our kids were visiting San Diego . In fact, one of my last memories of Dad will be of Sydney (Gina's daughter) and Solomon (my son) sitting at the foot of his bed, serenading him with their "ABCs" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Thanks for your countless prayers and well wishes over the last 6 months.” -Bernadette Bulacan
