In Loving Memory of Ate Marylou Gualin Arcillas ๐๏ธ๐
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we mourn the untimely passing of our dear ally, friend, and sister in the advocacy, Ate Marylou Gualin Arcillas, President of PAMASIL.
Ate Marylou was more than just an ally of SPEqTRUMS. She was someone who believed, supported, and stood with us in our journey toward a more inclusive, compassionate, and accepting community. Her kindness, warmth, and unwavering support will forever remain in our hearts.
๐ Ate Marylou, sakit kaayo dawaton nga wala na ka.
Murag dili pa gyud namo madawat nga dili na namo makita ang imong pahiyom, madungog ang imong tingog, ug makasinati pag-usab sa imong presensya.
We are crying not only because we lost a dear friend, but because we lost someone who made a difference in the lives of many. ๐ญ
Thank you, Ate Marylou, for believing in us. Thank you for standing beside SPEqTRUMS. Thank you for being one of the people who reminded us that we do not have to walk this advocacy alone.
Your work, your kindness, and the love you shared with the community will not end with your passing. You will continue to live in the causes you supported, in the people you inspired, and in every life you touched.
๐ญ๐ Mingawon mi nimo, Ate Marylou. Sobra.
Rest now, our dear Ate.
No more pain. No more struggles.
May you rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord. ๐๏ธ
From all of us in SPEqTRUMS, thank you for being our ally, our friend, and our Ate.
Until we meet again.
We love you. We will miss you. We will never forget you. ๐๏ธ๐ญ๐
