rest in peace Marge

Before she breathed her last this morning, she asked a youth leader if the youth ministry would be cared for and never neglected. That was how deeply Ate Margie loved the youth ministry.

Since the youth ministry of the vicariate of CaSiGaTurGOFilSin was revived around 2013, I witnessed her extraordinary dedication, while I served as their spiritual director. Those who know her will agree with me.

Whenever she was given a task, she never failed to do it well. She was never afraid to correct anyone, even priests, when she saw something wrong. Yet beyond that serious personality, she was also someone who laughed easily and loved to joke around.

Even while she was still alive, I openly praised Ate Margie for giving more than 100% of herself to the youth ministry of the Diocese of Dipolog, especially to the vicariate where I once served. She was one of those youth ministers na saludo talaga ako — SALUDONG SALUDO! She knows that.

With all these, because of the love and service she gave to the youth ministry, I confidently believe her journey to heaven will be swift and peaceful.

Rest in peace, Ate Margie Abera. Thank you for your service. Thank you (together with the solid vicarial staff) for helping me lead the youth ministry with ease. Until we meet again. 😢
