What people remember
Reynaldo is still with us, and can read every word left here. Sylvia cannot — but her family can, and they would like to know what she meant to you.
Written over the years, by their son
Atty. Rey M. Gealon wrote about his parents for years in short public notes — birthdays, anniversaries, a Mother’s Day. Gathered here, they read as one long thank-you.
Missing you every day, Mama. I remember how you nurtured me to become who I am today — so full of love & mercy, grace & compassion. Daghan kaayong salamat sa tanan, Mama.

This section is waiting for you
Tributes sent in by neighbours, scholars, colleagues, and the families they helped will be published here as they arrive, with your permission and your name attached.

Photographs, letters, and documents
If you have pictures of them, or a letter, or anything from the barangay years, the family would be grateful to copy it. You keep every original.
