VISMINDA MORALITA CARIAGA

September 1, 1943 - July 25, 2021

With great love and sadness we share the peaceful passing of Visminda Cariaga, on July 25, 2021 with her family by her side.

Minda, or "Ging ging", to her family and friends, was an amazing mother, sister, grandmother, and friend.

 

She is predeceased by her parents, Angelico and Serapia; husband Jose; and son Joel. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Rommel, Amor (Johnny), Josette (Clayton), and siblings Felixberto, Artemio, Emma, Ludoy, Utoy, Wilfredo, and Sonia; grandchildren, Joan, Bustine, Raika, Rowen, Vincent, Rian, Beatriz, Rojo, Rajel, Samuel, Ilana, and Jacob;  great-grandchild Eljo; as well as many other extended family members.

Minda, was a huge fan of handbags, clothes, and shoes. She was fashionable and enjoyed the company of people she liked. She was very supportive and caring to her family and friends. She enjoyed ice cream and a good Filipino teleserye. She was a strong woman and very independent.

The family wish to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff on unit 1 St. Joseph Residence Home for their care and compassion.

In keeping with Visminda's wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of life service will be held on her birthday in first week of September. In the meantime, Minda’s family kindly requests that her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by watching the photo-biography above.

I'll always remember her babysitting us when we were kids. How I borrowed her beige chevy cavalier do go driving around town with friends. She watched me and my sisters grow up and I hope we made her proud. I'll forever remember and miss our Auntie Ging.

Thank for the short but sweet memories... You're like a 2nd mother to me in the span of those years. Your guidance,  care and love that keeps me going will be forever kept and cherished in my heart. Our Lord has conquered the grave, and for that reason, I believe that this is only a temporary goodbye. We will see you again and we will all live in peaceful and happiest place. Forever...❤

To our dearest Lola.. We will miss your care for us, your smiles, your laugh, and even your HB mode.  We know that you are now in peace and living in Heaven with just pure happiness. (I can imagine your smiling face) Thank you so much for everything that you have done and all your sacrifices for us. We love you so much, La.  You are in our hearts, always and forever. 🤍🤗 ~your apo, Raika

To my Lola. It still doesn't feel real that you are gone, and it saddens me that we weren't able to visit as much in the past year due to Covid. But when we did see you, you always showered everyone with so much love even though you have lost the ability to communicate through speech. I was always amazed how you fought through so many hardships, inspiring your loved ones to do the same and myself. Thank you for the laughs, memories, and wisdom. We wouldn't be where we are today without you. I know you will keep giving us love from above, so please continue to watch over us. We will miss you, but I know you are with God now resting, free, and maybe even eating Buchi balls with him xD. Rest in perfect peace Lola Love, Morong

Luke 23:43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” You are with our creator now but your love, goodness, caring, wisdom will forever stay with me…thank you Ma and I love you

Psalm 73: 26 "My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" That is the scripture I kept repeating to you over and over again the day you left us. I know this is what you're praying and telling God as you transition to his kingdom. The truth is even though I'm saying those scriptures out loud over and over again to you I am not saying them  for you. But to appease me, I kept repeating it to remind myself that you are going to the greatest place and be reunited with our Father Almighty. I kept repeating those scriptures so I will be reminded to be strong, so I won't be too lonely cuz if it's me alone I can't bear the pain of the thought of you leaving us, leaving me. I am thankful to God for giving you to me as my mom here on earth. I'm thankful that you are you. They say that we can't choose our family and parents but if I can choose, I would always choose you. We are not perfect as family or as a mother and daughter but I have no complaints. I love what we had. I'm thankful that I was able to hug you kiss you and say I love you every chance I get. Thank you that you sacrificed being away from us just to find a better life and place for your family. Thank you for not giving up, so I can be here with you in Canada. Thank you for giving us advice, support and for always putting our needs first before yours. It's so weird that since you were in the personal care home that's when I saw you let loose not too tight, not too serious in life. On your last years you were always happy, always dancing with you're ever ready smile. You were so happy and nice to people who were genuinely nice to you. I'm glad that you were able to feel that joy in your heart. God has his ways we don't understand but one thing is for sure he loves us all. He loves both of us and He is actually the one speaking to both of us that day that your flesh and your heart may fail but He is the strength of your heart and your portion forever. I love you and I miss you. But it's hard not to be happy for you because I know that you are now in the greatest place with our Father Almighty with Papa and Kuya Joel and your parents. Your heart is full of joy and peace and with that I am in peace. Thank you Ma for everything, I miss you ❤️ I love you. Thank you Lord Jesus for Everything. ❤️ Your bunso, Josette

She worked hard for the future of her children. Help her husband support their family's needs. She is an exemplary mother, daughter and sister to her family. We love you and thank you so much for everything you've done for us. Rest in paradise my dear mother.
