There are two wakes in the Parish compound at this time: one at the Mt. Carmel Chapel and the other at the Parish Center. Death came suddenly to one; the other died after a lingering illness. (I was able to visit her twice, and gave her the last sacraments).
The fans and supporters of Fernando Poe, Jr., the "King", could not quite believe that he had passed away. His death was sudden and unexpected. And like all deaths, this passing away leaves a sense of disbelief. One knows that the dead has left this world that we are so familiar with, but, still, one cannot immediately accept that one is TRULY gone.
When my time comes, will I be able to sense it? Will I know that it would be my LAST breath?
