Last Monday, May 10, 2010 Juana A. Valbuena, Ninang as everyone calls her passed away. She was 91 years old. Ninang was a first cousin of my father. She is a public school teacher and I think before she retired she was either Principal or Asst principal in the school where she taught (sorry, cannot remember the school already).
We lived in a duplex house in Quezon City, one of the houses were owned by Ninang, and our family owns the other one. Since she never married and never had kids, she treated us very much like the kids she never had and our children her grandchildren.
What do I remember about her? I guess before she became really sick that it is a risk for her to be out of the room, she is precisely what we call her..ninang or godmother. She was my godmother during my confirmation. She was also also there during important occasions, birthdays, weddings, graduations...
May her soul rest in peace.
For those who knew her, her body now lies at 22 Mahabagin St, Teachers Village, QC.
She will be buried on Saturday, May 15, 2010
