Many people on this forum have given their condolences and Gina and I join with them in saying that Dave and his son and family are in our prayers over the tragic loss of his lovely wife Jasmine on Christmas Eve, I myself only saw a personal message from David when Gina and I came in from shopping today, I have to say I read it three times because I could not take it in.
I remember a couple of years ago, when David first started going out to the Philippines, specifically to Leyte to see Jasmine, I never thought I would be hearing news such as what has transpired with the tragic loss of Jasmine, I can remember when David used to call me, many times he called when Gina and I were shopping in Tesco, or maybe in the car travelling, such was his enthusiasm for getting back to the Philippines to see Jasmine.
I can remember all the times when David proudly described his wedding plans and how things had gone in Leyte when he first met Jasmine's family and how happy he was that she had consented to marrying him, I does not seem that long ago, that Jasmine arrived in UK, I know they settled in to a new life together, I don't think anything could have prepared any of us for hearing this tragic news.
I have replied to David under separate personal message, and coming up with the right words in support seems pretty hard right now, I have to say I am humbled by hearing of this most tragic set of circumstances.
David this forum is a virtual family of British-Filipino couples and their children, I know all the forum members here will want to join me in sending our heartfelt message of condolence to you and your family, I know Jasmine was your life, a part of her is with you now, you are in our thoughts and prayers at this most tragic of times. love the FilipinoUK Forum.
