[slice-of-life] [en] Blg. 2: Remembering my Lola Betty
Posted by JonsVG on 6 February 2026 in English.Jovita Fuentes Javellana, age 82, of Acworth, GA, passed away on Thursday, February 7, 2019. She was born on June 24, 1936 in Iloilo, Barotac Nuevo in the Philippines to Angelina Agudo and Nicolas Fuentes. We call her by her name, Betty. Our lola (Grandma) Betty.

Jovita was a dedicated and loving wife, mother and grandmother. She had a talent for sewing, crocheting and gardening. In addition to being a wonderful mother, Jovita was also a great cook.

In the past, we used to visit her on weekends, and I always looked forward to those days when she radiated so much energy and positivity. One memorable moment stands out: I wrote her a heartfelt letter on a yellow pad to express my sincere gratitude for all she had done for us in the family, especially during Christmas. It was a small gesture, but it captured the depth of my appreciation for her presence in my life.

Lola, I miss you more than words can express. I wish more than anything to spend time with you again, alongside Papa, creating new memories together. You are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart.
Your grandson,
Jon
