Still mourning.

Last night me and my family went to the wake of the Executive Minister of the Church of Christ (INC), Erano G. Manalo, And I must say this was the most organized and solemn wake that I have been. There were so many people (members of the church) including us, who eagerly waited for their turn to see our Beloved " Ka Erdy"
It was all worth the wait. We waited for 2 and half hours but we only saw him for only few seconds, but it was all worth it.

To Ka Erdy,

Thanks for everything, For all the guidance and the unselfish love that you shared to all the brethren, We are all so fortunate to have you as our Executive. God bless you and your family, and God bless the Church.
