Pacific when Sister Roque breathed her last. But all her children, together with their life partners are around her now to pay their last respect to a departing mother. Sister Roque had been ailing for the last ten years, suffering from hypertension and diabetes. Like Doha Teodora who lost her sight three times, and three times restored to her again by her own son, Sister Roque had the consolation and pride of having her own oldest son, Bro. Rufino Roque, Jr. take care of her and helped her to live ten years longer with the aid of proper medical care and the blessings of the Supreme Physician above. Like Dr. Rizal who went abroad to learn under the best specialists, the younger physician in the Roque family, Bro. Angel H. Roque, also went abroad to learn what could be done to help prolong his mother’s life. But unfortunately, Bro. Angel lost the race with--Death when his loving mother lost her life before he could do something for her. Sister Roque, like Doha Teodora. was a strict disciplinarian who knew how to bring up her children properly. so that the common saying that in a ncstful of eggs there is bound to be some spoiled ones, docs not apply in the Roque family. There is no bad egg or black sheep among the Roque children. Thanks to the firm hand of a loving mother, and the loving guidance of an indulgent father and provident husband, who was able to raise his family from obscurity to the level of the most opulent in the whole province. Sister Roque, now at the hour of parting this I can say: Our country has been enriched because you lived, our country suffers a great loss — because you died! May our Lord bless and accept you in the Land of the Blessed. A Pampanga Lodge No. 4S, F. & A.
