Two great guys, two big losses
It's a sad week for many. Two friends just passed away, a day apart of each other.
Last Sunday, Ernest John "EJ" Litton, died after a two-year battle with cancer. A little over a year ago, he had a celebratory party because he was diagnosed as having beaten it. A few months after that, he was told it was back, and the cancer eventually beat him.
Yesterday morning, I got news that another friend died. Joel Tantoco, who's my age, didn't wake up. Autopsy reports revealed it was acute pancreatitis that killed him. In this part of the world, that's known as bangungot.
EJ and Joel are two of the nicest guys I know, they're two of the happiest too. They're both very popular and have each gained many friends and nay an enemy.
EJ is lying-in-state at Santuario de San Antonio, while Joel is at the Sacred Heart (near Cardinal Ceramics) in Makati.
They are both in a better place now and we will miss them dearly.
May they both rest in peace and may their family find the strength to cope with their loss.
