Brethren:

Please be informed that our very dear VW Theonilo Pala joined the GAOTU yesterday. Due to his untimely passing, the brethren of their District will be postponing all scheduled Lodge activities for today, August 7, 2009 until further notice. And because of this, they will be having a caucus instead at the UDLMC.

On behalf of Saigon Lodge No. 188 F and AM, Saigon Shrine Oasis and Zeta Class – GGOKCS, our sincerest condolences to the family of VW Nilo Pala. Kuya Nilo as we all know is always considered the great lecturer and walking monitor in his region. May your contributions to the brethren and to the Craft as a whole be well remembered throughout time.

We lost a friend and a brother, but never in our hearts.

Always,

Mac Cabrera

Daghang Salamat!

Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
or sat quietly in a chair.

Perhaps you sent those beautiful flowers,that we saw sitting there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,as any friend could say.

Perhaps you were not there at all,
just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts,we thank you so much for whatever part.

We deeply appreciate your kind expression of sympathy in our time of great sorrow.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Lilian, Kurt, Karina, and Krisha
