APRIL News

I'm a little late with my April posting...my apologies! Keep on reading, folks, and continue sending in those news items!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Firstly, belated Happy Birthday to those whose birthdays have already passed - Myra Tayag (my sister!), Bruce Kohl, Joseph Trapani, Paul Swenson, & Kathryn Eugenio! And Happy Birthday to the rest of the April celebrants!

Secondly, Elliot Abad & Francine Real are getting married this April 29 in Boracay, Philippines! Elliot is the son of Albert Abad & Rose Nillo, grandson of Salvador "Buddy" & Gloria Abad. CONGRATULATIONS, cousin & future cousin-in-law :-)

Thirdly, HAPPY EASTER to everyone!
Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless. ~charles m. crowe

Hello from the Philippines!

Yes, there are still some Abad's in the Philippines :-) specifically, Lolo Pete & Lola Letty's family. Recently, Marlowe, the oldest grandchild, sent some pictures to share with the rest of our clan. For those who may not know, Tita Papou and Tita Peewee (see pics below) are the sisters of Tito Darius and Tito Rico, both of whom have attended our family reunions.

Enjoy!
