Last Thursday ( March 17), David E
Katague III passed so suddenly, I am still numbed with grief. I posted
in my blog the other day, what exactly happened. I received numerous
messages of condolences from relatives and friends. Again I thank you
for your messages and phone calls from the bottom of my heart. In
today's posting, I am sharing some photos to celebrate David's life. May
He Rest in Peace, Amen. A memorial service for David E via Zoom is
scheduled for March 24, at 11AM. Details is posted on my FB page today
on bottom of this page.
David and his beloved Helicopter, 2004-2005
"From My Previous Postings: When we are in Marinduque, our second son David E. takes
care of the yard, swimming pool and also the house here in Northern
California. David is single and currently works for the Federal
Government (TSA) in Sacramento. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in
Agricultural Economics from UC Davis and a Masters of Science degree in
Public Management and Policy with concentration on Information Systems
from Carnegie Mellon University. He used to work for the Office of
Management and Budget(OMB) in Washington DC during the Clinton and Gore
Administration.
During the time of his employment with OMB we received annual Christmas
cards from the White House as well as special invitations to special
events such as the Easter Egg Hunting in the lawn of the White House and
Parties for OMB employees. David E is learning how to speak Tagalog.
During our 50th wedding anniversary party in 2007, he addressed the
guests in Tagalog and made a good impression. His Tagalog is improving
but still has the American accent. Macrine(RIP) and I are proud of his desire
to learn the language of his ancestry. Without David's help, we will
never be able to enjoy staying in our island paradise in the Philippines
for as long as we desire".
From My Blogs: Several years ago, Macrine(RIP), David III and I spent one week of vacation
(time share-exchange) in the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. We have
scheduled one day of our week vacation for the popular, scenic and
breathtaking drive- the Road to Hana. However, when I learned
that the are numerous narrow and winding roads and bridges along the
Hana Highway and because I am prone to motion sickness (in the car), we
decided not to do it.

Final Note: Of my 4 children, David was the only one who had a very closed connection Marinduque. He was the only one who participated with MI, inc medical mission to the province. He was my only child who learned Tagalog and was interested in retiring to Chateau Du Mer in Marinduque. I love you and I really missed you today. May you rest in Peace and see your Mom in Heaven!
