We appreciate the dedication of the doctors, nurses, physical therapists, housekeeping, and ancillary team of St. Joseph Hospital South. We are eternally grateful to Tootsie, Cita, Edith, Jun, Tomas, and Nestor, devoted angels to daddy "Odie." Our heartfelt gratitude to Serenity Meadows Memorial, St. Stephen Catholic Church, and the bereavement team.
