Dedicated to the memory of Catalina "Taling" Salon Labayen

This site is a tribute to Taling, who was born in the Philippines on March 22, 1933. She became an angel on May 13, 2016. What a beautiful lady she was, inside and out. She was a most gentle, loving, soft spoken, smart, patient woman, yet courageous and commands respect. Our father loved her to the core. She was God's gift and the best thing that ever happened to our father and to us. Every life was better having touched hers. The best wife, Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, and Lola ever!  She will always be much loved and she lives for as long as we remember. We love and miss her. We will always seek and hear her loving guidance. We remember to live Mom's favorite prayer helping us... The Serenity Prayer. The legacy of family and respect our parents left us will live on. 

REMEMBER ME..

Remember me on quiet days
When raindrops whisper on your pane;
But in your memories have not grief,
Let just the joy we knew remain.

Remember me when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes;
And when your thoughts do turn to me,
Know that I would not have you cry;
But live for me and laugh for me - 
When you are happy, so am I.

Remember an old joke we shared;
Remember me when spring walks by;
Think of me when you are glad,
And while you live, I shall not die.
