Personal Background

 

This memorial website was created by our family in lasting memory of our mother, Visitacion Singian Dimzon, whom we have lovingly called "Inang".

Inang was born on August 28, 1928, in a small town in Porac, Pampanga, to Eulalio Singian and Trinidad Icban. She had 3 brothers, Cesar, Ben, Celestino, and two sisters, Severina and Rosita.

 

She met and married Antonio Dimzon, with whom she had 8 children, May, Mario, Eddie, Susan, Bong, Rico, Willie, and Tetez; 4 daughters-in-law, Ellen, Emily, Elinor, & Nancy, and 2 sons-in-law, Wilfredo & Noel.

 

She was blessed with 9 grandchildren, Lawrence, Mariel, Claudette, Lien, Leanna, Kevin, Miguel, Mark Anthony, and Celine. She was the perfect "Lola" to all of them. In July 2006, the whole family celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary.

 

Inang left us for the eternal life to be with God on April 24, 2008 at the age of 79. She lay in state at the Arlington Memorial Chapels and was finally laid to rest at Himlayang Pilipino on April 29, 2008.

 

Inang is missed greatly by family and friends and will be remembered forever.

 

The Dimzon Family continue to thank all our relatives and friends, and all those who have shared in our time of sorrow through prayers and sympathies.

Happy Birthday - Sorry for this late greeting but you were in my thoughts during the week of your birthday. I think a lot about you.

With much love. - from Willie

Mother - On a piece of square tile that hangs in the dining room, my favorite short poem is scribbled.. and it goes... - MOTHER - "To one who bears the sweetest name And adds lustre to the same Who shares my joys Who cheers when sad The greatest friend I ever had. And there is no other who can take the place of my DEAR MOTHER. Happy birthday, Mother! - from Tetez

My Inspiration - Inang's words of encouragement, her strength and sacrifices have been my inspiration and will always be. She devoted her simple life so dearly to us.

My Other Mother - Up to this point of time 'Inang' is still in my mind, thinking of how she will often called me 'anak'. I have so much treasured memories of her that will always be in my mind and heart. Inang I will keep you in our prayers and will always be remembered. - from Eva Obleada

Latest Memories

Susan - Around same time last year, I was there with you. I will never forget those days and memories we shared together. I had very high hopes that day when I said good bye to you that we still have a lot of time together. How I wished I stayed longer and was able to spend my birthday with you. I then called you on my birthday so you will greet me and you had a very good laugh about it! I wished I can call you and talk to you and hear your laughter once again especially on my birthdays.. I missed you so much, Inang.

Tetez - I lived half of my 43 years without Inang beside me. Inang and Tatang migrated to Canada in 1987 that is why, I cannot relate to the wonderful stories of my friends who had their mothers by their sides in the 2 most precious moments in a woman’s life, i.e. getting married and giving birth. And, Chloe did not also have the pleasure being taken cared of by a Lolo & Lola, as most Filipino children did. “Inang, I envied my brothers and sisters, whom you were with and whose children you helped raised for those 20 years. You often told us that you spent your most enjoyable times when you were either in Canada, or San Diego, or Los Angeles. Your pictures show those picnics, parties or pot-lucks you went to with them. Your pictures show how healthy and fit you were still then, that you loved going to these fun activities. During those times, we would only talk to each other on the phone, oftentimes to greet each other happy birthday, merry Christmas or Happy New year! Yes of course, you would come home to the Philippines every now and then. You mostly arrived in November in time for cooler climate, but then you would always leave in January, before my birthday. When I started to travel to Canada to visit you & Tatang, and later Claudette joining me in those regular visits, you didn’t have anymore the zest to go to the places you used to go to and do things you used to love to do. Oh yes, we did go to the Peace Arch, Porto Cove and to this Monastery. Later on, you chose to stay home and never wanted to go out, even to eat in your favorite restaurants. But of course, I knew you have gotten older and having health problems. So I would ask myself then, how come it was your “bunso” who was called to take care of you, when it should be my brothers and sisters who enjoyed your prime years with you, whose children you took care of, and whom you prepared your super delicious “pancit palabok” for, during their birthdays. How come it was me, who had to leave Claudette for months to accompany you in your flights, when you can no longer move on your own? How come it was me, who had to stay with you, had to take a leave from work, every time you were in the hospital? How come it was, me who had to prepare your milk even if you had caregivers at your beck and call? How come… when half of my 43 years, we were not together? How come, Inang? Is it because, you knew you were going to leave us soon? When you told me in the hospital that if not only for me, you would end your life, I knew then Inang, that the pain is unbearable. And I asked myself, how much time do we still have together? Is 1 month enough? What about, 2 months? And when the inevitable and dreadful thing came, I was saddened, because I was not again beside you! I envied Ateng, the caregiver, the doctor, the nurses, who were there when you took your last breath. Yes, I lived half of my 43 years without you beside me. But, Inang, it took us only 10 minutes to make-up for all those lost years! And those 10 minutes I had with while you surrendered your body to everlasting peace, was more than enough! And no one among my brothers and sisters had that moment with you – a moment you gave only to me, your bunso. Although we couldn’t talk to each other anymore, I felt your presence in the room and saw in your beautiful face the blissful state you are finally in. That was indeed a precious moment of my life! Inang, I know that even if you are no longer here with us, you will still continue to look after us. And as I will live the next 20 years or more of my life, I know this time, that you will always be beside me and will never leave me again!”

Rico - July 16, 2008 - Sixty two years ago, you made a commitment before God and Tatang to love and behold. I was fortunate to share 48 of those wonderful years. Although, this is the first year that we will celebrating your wedding anniversary without you, we know that you will be with us in spirit. Happy 62nd anniversary....

Rico - you sheltered me from harm kept me warm, kept me warm you never said too much but still you showed the way and I knew, from watching you the finest years i ever knew were all the years I had with you
