Dear M. Ed, Gary & Edyie, My and my children’s deepest sympathies. I purposely waited for a few days before writing you. A death of a loved one whether expected or unexpected is always tragic.

I will be in Vienna as soon after I arrive. Wishing you peace to bring comfort and loving memories of M. Cely to forever hold in your hearts. I was praying before and after M. Cely’s passing and will continue to do so. Peace, Prayers and Blessings, Chuchi&family

M. Cely was the hostess with the mostest. Opening her home to us M. Ed’s cousins and our friends and hosting Q reunions. She was always gracious serving us her delicious cooking and attending to our needs. I’m so glad I drove up with my family to see her upon hearing her diagnosis because it was the last time I saw her. We had dimsum with M. Ed, Gary, Eydie and nephews Cue Q/ family and Miko Q. I will treasure many memories of M. Cely, my last conversations with her and the group photo after the dimsum. Sadly writing this from Bangkok.

Just learned about the passing away of Celi Quisumbing and we’re still here in Manila. On behalf of all the Board members and Volunteers of Feed the Hungry, Inc. our deepest sympathy to Ed and his family for the loss of their beloved Celi. We will remember her in our prayers.
Dear Ed and family, Our sincerest condolences to you and the family. It is still hard to believe that Cely is no longer with us. We can only take much comfort in the thought that she is now resting and at peace with the Lord. We pray that the many happy memories of Cely’s life with you, Eydie and Gary will help to overcome the sadness and pain and bring peace, comfort and strength. Surely, Cely had a beautiful and fulfilling life with you and the children. She was an extraordinary person, very kind, genuine, thoughtful, honest, cheerful and witty. Very endearing qualities, and we will miss her! We will always remember the happy times we spent together. Please be assured of our prayers. With our love and deepest sympathy, Ninoy and Tess
Rest in peace Cel. Our deepest sympathy to Ed, Eydie and Gary.
Dear Doc, Gary and Eydie, Our heartfelt condolences are with you for the loss of your beloved wife, mom and friend to all of us who had been blessed to meet her. I will always treasure the times you had served as my/our generous host and “tour guides” whenever we were in DC. On April 1 so many years ago, you both came to pick me up from my hotel and happily told me that I was your very first “client” in your new found “profession” as tour guides to friends – after Doc’s retirement from The World Bank. We had a good time going around Washington DC enjoying the sights of cherry blossoms in full bloom and other plant and flowers in exhibit at that time. You took pictures of Tita Cely and me posing and competing in beauty with the flowers. Of course, panalo kame ‘di ba? LOL. You also brought me to the Luray caverns because you wanted me to have the same experience you had enjoying the beauty within those caverns. The two of you even brought me and my friend Lot to your favorite crabs restaurant where we brought our own caldero ng kanin as we do not want to eat crabs with potato fries. We had lots of fun and ate a lot – but nobody complained about gaining weight! 🙂 I love the time when I served as Tita Cely’s hairdresser. I applied color on her hair in the comfort of your kitchen/dining area. I remember her happy smiles as she appreciated my “labor of love”. You were happy to see her new look also Doc. 🙂 How I wish we could have more beauty treatment times. I will miss Tita Cely. Love, Ellen
Facebook Rizalina Ramos-Talag February 18 at 10:05pm Cel has not really left our midst. She is the ray of sunshine coming in through the windows, the fragrance of the spring flowers, the soft humming of little birds in your garden. This Is just suspended togetherness.
Facebook Minerva Minnie Gamez Strohn commented on your status. Minerva Minnie Gamez Strohn February 24 at 4:09pm I grieve with you over your loss. I know how it feels to lose your better half who have given nothing but their best. She is now in heaven preparing a place for you when your time comes. She feels no more pain and suffering.

Dear Kuya Ed, In behalf of my family here in Sydney Australia, “our deepest condolences on the loss of Ate Cely”. Baby Guerra & Family
To the family of Ms. Quisumbing, I know that this is a very difficult time for you. We as humans were never meant to experience the pain of losing a loved one to death. God’s purpose for us is that we live forever in perfect health and perfect conditions. The Bible mentions a time when the ones who have passed away will rise again in John 5:28,29. Take comfort in knowing that you will see Araceli again. Please accept my condolences.
One death anniversary we missed you auntie cely..
