Yesterday, our mom Melody Villa lost the love of her life. For forty years, Mom and Dad have been married and living the American Dream. They came from the Philippines with very little material possessions to build a better life for their future family. Like every couple they experienced their peaks and valleys. I know there are many people who do not believe in God much these days but we saw and witnessed God living through our parents. We pray every day to be a fraction of who our Dad and Mom are. Their deep belief in God and their teachings about the importance of prayer will remain in us always. Our request to all of you—love with all your heart, enjoy life, tell the people who you love and who love you that you love them. We love and miss you so much already, Dad.

Love,
Melody, Mara, Matt, Audrey, Michael Patrick, James Hilario, Katy, Christina, Dewey, Delilah, Samson, Mikail, Angel, Scarlet, and Stella
