Happy 30th Anniversary Kuya Jaren and Ate Rose Lapasaran

Kuya Jaren and Ate Rose, There are people who impress us with their words. There are people who impress us with their wealth. There are people who impress us with their skills, and there are those who impress us with their strength. But you have impressed us with your life. In the three decades that you have been man and wife, father and mother to your lovely daughters, and now grandparents to your grandkids, you have both modeled such a well-lived life together that has not only been a blessing but an attraction; a showcase of God's Glory and goodness and a magnet that has caused the compass of many lives to head towards Life's True North. Ours included. I can honestly say that Rose and I have charted the very course of our life together very much after yours. And though at times we've sought divergent paths, in our heart of hearts, we've been careful to mind that our sails are never far from yours. In doing so, we've encountered both clear-sailing and rough waters. And the occasional squalls. But through it all, our hearts have been quieted by one thing - thanks in large part to your life-mentoring - the same Captain in command of our ships. And, God-willing, someday, when we land on the same Peaceful Shores, we shall celebrate our Great Treasure together. Kuya Ja, ate Rose...thank you. We thank God for you and your family. For such a life well lived together, in thirty years. We love you! Blessed 30th Anniversary! Much, much love and prayers for you and your household, Jesse and Rose Dedel, with Jesi Rose, Charles Keith and Joshua Erickson
