September 2014 (Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon) —- Tito Eddie, tingnan mo ngiti ko dito. I will not forget this day dahil ito yung buong araw na tayo magkawork pero grabe ako sa pagkatulala ko kasi di ako makapaniwala na magkatrabaho tayo. 😢 When I asked to have our picture taken, you gladly said, “of course!” 💖 I am honored to have worked with you... Rest in Peace our dear Tito Eddie. We love you. 💕 #RIPEddieGarcia
