Dania Soriano (1951-2021)
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me." (Isaiah 49:15-16)
This story from the Bible reminds us of the faithful love of God.
Mom died early this morning while in hospital.
She has been confined for almost three weeks now. Her immunocompromised state did not help in her condition.
I am not able to go home because of this pandemic. The family is also in quarantine. We will not be able to have a wake for her. Thanks to technology, we can have virtual memorial services nightly.
Mama Dania is a loving wife and mother. Many remember her as a missionary, lay pastor, teacher and community worker. Her friends remember her kindness. Young women look up to her as a model clergy wife and mentored them on how to be partner to their spouses. She loves children. She loves plants and flowers too.
We will plant a tree in her honor. We encourage people to do the same.
She will be missed.
