Thoughts/Condolences Remembering Eleanor still brings tears to my eyes, but at the same time smile on my face. Everytime there is a Buklod meeting, I can't help but think that Eleanor and Clint would have been such a happy addition to the Buklod Organization. Our Holy Supper just passed and I found myself remembering her and thinking how lucky that she has finished her journey knowing she remained true to her membership.
Her birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks....I remember how she made such a big deal about her birthday. She made sure that everyone is in on the celebration. I miss her infectious smile. I miss her corny jokes. I miss her.....I still miss you, BB!

Thoughts/Condolences The new year came, and I looked back on 2005. I re-lived the agony, sadness, empitness I felt upon hearing of my cousin's untimely passing. I still think of her often; sometimes I do it unconsciously. I've had many dreams of Eleanor showing up to one of our church activities. I continue to thank her for leaving such a lasting impression on those who knew her. She has taught me to cherish life and truly show those whom I love how much they mean to me. Life is precious, as it has been said numerous times. All it takes is a blink of an eye for someone to leave us; I personally can't risk taking anyone I love for granted--- in Eleanor's remembrance.

Thoughts/Condolences My deepest condolences to Eleanors family and to Clint.

I worked with Eleanor her whole time at The City of Hope, it was always a joy to see her eyes light up as she spoke very lovingly of her parents and Clint. In the past year we would go to lunch and talk often her joy at her upcoming wedding and her love for Clint would always put a smile on my face.

I think of Eleanor as not gone but always smiling with her eyes at us from above.

Thoughts/Condolences Please forgive me for signing a second time. But after reading all of the thoughts from members around the world, I've come to the realization that Eleanor's final gift to us was a sense of unity and inspiration.

That even though many of us are many miles apart, we still share in the spirit of Christ that binds us. We share the same pain, the same joy, and receive the same consolation for the Holy Spirit. Eleanor's parting gift to us all was, that in her rest, the spirit of unity is made known.

Thoughts/Condolences My deepest regret is that I wasn't able to spend a lot of time with Ate Eleanor. But whenever I did, whether it was a trip down to CA, a visit from your family in the PI, or a visit from the District Kadiwa officers in Las Vegas, it was always like we've just seen each other yesterday. She's always treated me like a little sister or cousin. I'm sad that I never got to go snowboarding with her, Ate Emylene, Ate Lisa, and Clint as she asked me too! I always kept thinking, "they're only 4 hours away" or "maybe next winter season." Definitely, Ate Eleanor has taught us that life is too short to put off things that we can do today. It's important that we always, always, let the people we love how much they mean to us. More importantly, I've learned the importance of re-assessing our priorities in life, that we have more important tasks to accomplish than those that only deal with life here on earth. May Ate Eleanor continue to inspire us to always be prepared - to complete our work, finish the race, and endure until the very end...

Tito Bob and Tita Ine, it's not only Ate Eleanor who's inspired us. In spending only three days with you and your family at the memorial chapel, I have been amazed with the strength of the DelaMerced-Fermin clan - everyone, from the grandparents, to the aunts and uncles, to the cousins, and the grandchildren. Rather than questioning God's decision regarding Ate Eleanor's fate, I saw a family who grew closer together, who supported and consoled each other, and grew stronger in their faith. I saw a family who took Clint as their own son, brother, grandson, nephew, and cousin. I saw the head deacon, the deaconess, and the choir members who tirelessly perform their duties despite their time of mourning. Lastly, I saw not only brethren in the faith but also people from all walks of life flock from all over the country (and accross the globe)to give your family their condolences and sympathies.

My mother always told me, "God only gives you trials He knows you can endure."

Tito Bob and Tita Ine, your family is to be commended. You have demonstrated how true servants of God should withstand the tragedies they face in life.

You are always in our prayers.

Love,
Jenny and Roel Estanilla

Of things we don't really understand why
We laugh for a moment and start to cry
We were crazy

Now that the end is already here
We reminisce 'bout old yells and cheers
Even if our last hurrahs were never clear

Farewell to you my friends
We'll see each other again
Don't cry 'cause it's not the end of everything
I may be miles away
But here is where my heart will stay
With you, my friends with you

Yesterday's a treasure, today is here
Tomorrows' on its way, the sky is clear
Thank you for the mem'ries of all the laughters and tears
And not to mention our doubts and our fears
The hypertension we gave to our peers
It's really funny to look back after all of these years

Thoughts/Condolences Dear Brother Bobby, Sister Ene and Family,

Our Brotherhood in Christ is one of the key factors towards our salvation, so, when I heard about Sister Eleanor's passing away I felt sadness in my heart. It seems that my own sister left me and had gone to a very far place where we will not be seeing her for a while.

I remember Sister Eleanor during the sports activities of the Church. She was so vibrant and energetic, so young and beautiful. I can't forget her face. I am pretty sure Brother Clint, her fiance will miss her a lot, but let us not worry for this is only but temporary.

I know Sister Eleanor will live in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved her.

My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Thoughts/Condolences I haven't known Eleanor for a long time, just a few short years while she was dating Clint, my brother-in-law. But what I do know is how much she loved him and he loved her. I've never seen two people more made for each other than Clint and Eleanor. Each just as goofy as the other, with a love so pure. Eleanor made Clint so happy, he smiled everytime he talked about her. After these past few days, being with her family and close friends, it's easy to see how many lives Eleanor has changed. And although I didn't have the privilege of spending more time with her, she continues to change my life. With her sudden passing, she helped me realize that we can't waste time on things we'll forget about tomorrow, that tomorrow is never promised and to live for today. She's taught me to have a little more patience, to be a little kinder, and to love a little more. And by doing that, that's how I'll remember Eleanor.

She was the facilitator with the big smile on her face. When I'd see her at District events, that same smile was always there. When Bro. Aldrin told me of her condition a few weeks ago, I had a hard time remembering her face...but then I remembered her smile and it all came back.

May she rest in peace, and may her entire family feel the endless love and strength from our Father above.

Thoughts/Condolences Eleanor was always one of the warm and welcoming faces whenever I got the chance to visit Southern California. She was my fellow "E girl" as I used to refer to her. I luckily had the chance to spend a few moments with her while she was on the East Coast just a few weeks ago. Her first priority of course was making sure she could find a locale to attend worship service. While catching up with her, she spoke lovingly of Clint as she shared the story of their engagement, how she found her perfect dress and her ensuing wedding plans. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to have met someone like Eleanor. I admire her for the devotion and enthusiasm she had in performing her duties, the love she shared with her family and friends, and the innate ability she had to touch the lives of all those who had the good fortune of crossing her path. Sleep tight for now Eleanor ..

To the Fermin/Dela Merced Family, please accept my sincerest and deepest condolences. Your daughter is indeed and inspiration to us all as we strive to finish our course with such focus and determination. May the love of our Father guide and comfort you in the days to come, and may the happiness she brought to your lives always warm your heart.

Thoughts/Condolences We were deeply saddened by the news that Eleanor is gone. Although she finished her race faster than the others, she will be sorely missed.
We remember a young woman who was so energetic and exuberant. I also used to call her "Barclay" because of her rebounding ability when she is playing basketball for the San Gabriel Valley team. I remember her assisting the district leadership during the games. She was my student in the CWS Teacher's class and she showed that her talent in teaching was inherited from her dad. We remember how she was very happy to see us here in the Philippines when she went with her parents to celebrate her lola's birthday.
However it may be painful to many of us to see her depart from this life, we know for sure that we will see her again at the coming of Christ. She is an epitome of a true Christian and Rev. 14:12-13 was fulfilled in her.

To Bro. Bob and Sis. Ine, how we wish to be with you personally to help alleviate your pain and suffering but distance does not allow this to happen. You are always on our mind and prayers. May you find solace and comfort in the hands of the Lord.

Thoughts/Condolences It's been more than 12 years since Eleanor and I last saw each other. At the time, Pasadena was still an extension of SGV.

And yet despite all the time that's past, when I heard she was given rest, I realized an empty spot had formed in my life because she was gone. And since she was laid to rest, I've heard of her accomplishments and of her devotion. And I see the faith I had known 12 years ago had grown brighter.

Eleanor embodied all that it means to be a choir member, an organist, and a member of the Church of Christ. Her's was a life of devotion and for that, God fulfilled his covenant with her. And we shall see her again soon.

Thoughts/Condolences I didn't get the pleasure of meeting your daughter. But I know, because of the Church in which we are members of, we are all connected and united as one. She has inspired us all to continue, and it is once again another gift Eleanor has given us. She will always be remembered by everyone, but this should all the more motivate us in our race. So that one day, we'll see her once again with all our other brothers and sisters who we dearly miss and love in that glorious Kingdom of Heaven...

Thoughts/Condolences Every time I saw Eleanor, she had a smile on her face. Now it wasn't just a polite smile, or a "oh, how nice to see you" smile. It was always a "this day couldn't possibly be any better" kind of smile. It was the kind that you want to show to other people and say, "See, that's how that should be done."

It wasn't only her infectious smile, or her glowing personality, but you could tell, just by speaking to her for but five minutes, that kind and generous heart that she offered to everyone. You ARE an inspiration to us all, and you will surely be missed.

Again, congratulations for a job very well done in bringing up Eleanor the way you did!

During our conversation, I later learned she was in the same locale as my younger brother who was no where near immediate family. I asked her to take care of him and to make sure he continues to be more active in faith... As a true instrument of God, she definitely served with all her heart and did just that. She's inspired and enlightened others to continue serving God.

Eleanor will definitely be missed by those who's lives she has touched...

She greeted me and shook my hand with a smile just like what she did when I and my family visited and prayed for Ka Mary's natal day at least for 3 times. Friendly and sisterly smile is her trade mark. That's what she got from her parents. Ka Bobby and Ka Ine should be proud for they succeeded in raising her as a true christian and a true officer in the church. Her remarkable qualities should inspire every one that like Sis. Eleonor, every one will be able to finish the race.

Thoughts/Condolences the first and only time i met eleanor was back in 1996.. around a week before thanksgiving.. she was in town w/ her sisters and they were doing a eastcoast tour.. being that they knew brian basi and that they were the first people from out west that i met, i thought that they were pretty cool.. we ate some cheesesteaks that weren't so good, but those cali people liked it, go figure.. anyway, it was just a good time w/ them. Eleanor and i would then lose contact for a few years till about 2002. i forget how i got her email address, but i did and decieded to email her. then talked every now and again. even tried to talk her though gettin into her room when she locked herself out. *i know what your thinking, how did you talk her though getting into a locked room.. i dont know either..* anyway.. time passes and things go on. we lose touch and no contact for a while.. always meant to call and see how she was doing, but always put it off saying i'll do it later.. i guess i can't anymore..

so my condolences to the family, frieds and all those who were blessed to have her even for a moment in their lives. eleanor you will be missed. maybe we'll have better cheesesteaks nexttime and not lock you out of your room anymore.

Reading and reflecting on the kind of life she's lived; adored by so many and best of all, strong and active in her duties in the Church. What would be a better way to live a life and be laid to rest? This is what all members pray for. If He should take us, may He take us active in our duties and inside his Church. Eleanor is guaranteed the promise of Eternal Salvation.

We extend our love and deepest condolences to Ninong Bob, Ninang Ine, Emilynn, Lisa, and Clint.

Dear Bro. Bobby and Sister Ine,

Our daughter Emilette passed away when she was just 18. It happened some eleven years ago. She was also a choir member since her CWS days. When it happened, I simply told my wife that way ahead of us, the Lord made her fully qualified for the FIRST RESURRECTION! I am conveying to you the same!!

We are with you in spirit during the moment of your bereavement.

Thoughts/Condolences It really saddens me to hear about eleanor's passing. She was a great example to us all. I remembered her a long time ago when we used to have district activities. I was really scared of her when Oxnard played them in basketball because she was really good and aggressive. She was also one of the choir members that helped oxnard when we lacked choir members for our thanksgiving worship service. But the one that I really cherish was when she went to Oxnard to visit our kadiwa officers. You see our kadiwa organization in Oxnard that time was not developed but when she came there she inspired us all. She even checked up on us if there was any progress. I remembered what she said to us " I know it's not easy to balance being a kadiwa officer with choir also with school and work but if you put him first you'll see you'll have all the time in the world to do all." I also remembered her saying "I'm an organist as well as choir member. It came to the point where I was being tested to choose from being kadiwa district officer or choir member but through God's grace I'm still here fulfulling my duties." From then on those words of inspiration abide in me and I also apply it to my life until now. I know there will be a time where I will also be tested with my duties but I will look back and remember everything she said and remember her devotion to God.I've never met a person with genuine faith and I also never met a person who embraces her duties as much as she did. She never doubted Oxnard in building the kadiwa organization.She remembered us all by names actually. Everytime she sees us in district events there she was greeting each of us by name and with a smile. She was there to help in any way she can. She showed us how much she cares and how much she loves us all and wants all of us to be save not by scolding us or preaching to us but she showed us through her actions.

To the family, friends, and loved ones that she left behind may you stay strong in the faith as she was in hers.We will pray for you all.

Thoughts/Condolences What can I say about our sister that has not yet already been said? Except my memories of her. I remember when we competed for the football throw, during one of the mini-olympics for the church, and I thought, there you go, she's the first place winner! Eleanor can really throw a football, unlike a lot of guys that I know ;) Oh and I was right, she did win first place :). Another memory with Eleanor was when Ryan and I first stepped into the Montclair house of worship. I saw her and Clint coming down from the choir loft. She greeted us with her famous smile and Clint and her showed us around the chapel, from the baptismal pool to all the secret rooms that many brethren probably haven't seen yet... Those are just some of my memories of her which will last me a lifetime! We miss her very much! Our condolences to the Fermin Family and Clint :(.

Thoughts/Condolences I cannot recall how old I was when I first met my Tita Eleanor, I must've been too young. However, all that i could remember of her was that bright, warm smile she always had on.

When I heard of what happened I became immobilized for a moment. I almost did not want to believe it was true. In fact for second there I did. I kept hoping it was just a dream that I would soon awake. Yet, upon arriving at her viewing reality hit me and I was soon to face the fact that my beloved tita had passed. And to believe the last time I saw her was not even a month ago (July 27, to be exact)at the Montclair chapel.

We tend to remember her for her smile
And it is the tender moment and memories we have
A loss of beauty and grace
Is denying it from the world
Watching her fulfill her journey
All to its very end
We say our farewells
To our beloved Eleanor.

To the Dela Merced and the rest of the Fermin families stay strong through this dreaded ordeal. Hold hands with one another and embrace the memories you once shared with her.


To Clint, although I barely knew you, my deepest condolences for your loss.

After leaving SGV, we'd see each other at many District events and she was always very friendly. And like many ppl, it's her smile I remember whenever she greeted me.

My memories of Eleanor are always connected to the "3 Fermin Girls" (Emylene, Eleanor, and Lisa) are always together in my mind. I remember just having a great time with the 3 girls and their Lola in the Philippines. The 3 girls would spend their summers in the Philippines and we would always meet each other at Central. We would then go out for lunch or dinner and even go bowling at their Lola's bowling alley. It was always a joy to be around the "3 Fermin Girls".

We will miss Eleanor terribly, but she will always be in our hearts and memories!

Thoughts/Condolences In addition to her friendly, charismatic personality, Eleanor had an exuberant sense of humor. She had a natural knack for story telling that captivated anyone within hearing distance. I remember one story she told when she used to go to UCI; she had to inject a lab mouse with Parkinson's causing it to run in circles then sit on its hind legs while nibbling on a piece of shredding and then falling flat on its back. The story is a lot funnier with Eleanor telling it with her re-enactment skills.
Many have noted her smile, but what I will miss most about her is her contagious laugh. Eleanor had one of those laughs that made me laugh just because she was laughing--even before finding out what happened, I just couldn't help laughing with her.

Eleanor, we miss you dearly.

Thoughts/Condolences Being born of Christian parents, Sister Eleanor will forever be a true Christian from womb to tomb and even beyond as Apostle Paul says in

I Thess. 4:13-14 NLT)
13And now, brothers and sisters, I want you to know what will happen to the Christians who have died so you will not be full of sorrow like people who have no hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus comes, God will bring back with Jesus all the Christians who have died.

1 Cor. 15:51 TEV
Listen to this secret truth: we shall not all die, but when the last trumpet sounds, we shall all be changed in an instant, as quickly as the blinking of an eye. For when the trumpet sounds, the dead will be raised, never to die again, and we shall all be changed.

Our deepest condolences ...

Thoughts/Condolences When I hear the name Sis. Eleanor Fermin, there is one thing that stands out in my mind and that was our District Leadership Enhancement training in Anaheim on July 14, 2001. At the end of that day, all of the brethren got a chance to volunteer to go up and read their “Personal Mission Statement” in front of everyone.

Eleanor’s speech was the only one I remember, because when she read her promise to our Almighty God and our Lord Jesus Christ in front of all the brethren, it really touched me and everyone. I remember thinking then, this sister is different, truly faithful and her words made a great impact on me. I remember she started crying during her speech and then all of the brethren felt the Holy Spirit and we all started crying.

That is one speech I will never forget and I thought that this sister was really special and a great example to us all and she fulfilled her calling, she fulfilled her "mission" (as she declared in her speech) and remained faithful to the end.

To our Sis. Eleanor’s family, may our Lord God be with you always and may you have comfort in knowing that we will all be together again in the heavenly kingdom.

I wish I was more fortunate to know her more than I did, but I believe for the short time that I knew her, being an officer with her in the District Kadiwa, was enough. I've learned many aspects from her and hope to carry on. I am Happy (literally) that God has given her rest. See you soon, hey, maybe we can all play Mafia again and throw ketchup bombs at each others vans :-) Think we'll be allowed to do that up there?

Thoughts/Condolences From the moment I transferred to Montclair, Ate Eleanor welcomed me with open arms and already treated me like a little sister. Ever since, I've looked up to her (literally) as my "Ate." She has always been there through thick and thin, through the ups and downs. She was always looking out for me; she always had the right words to say every time I was down. One of the pieces of advice she gave, which I will never forget was, “Whenever you need someone to talk to, you come to the Chapel and pray your heart out. And afterwards, if you still need someone, walk over to my house because I will always be there for you.” She made me laugh, and she made me cry… from laughing so much. I love her with all my heart, and I have unbelievable respect for her. She was raised by great parents and was a very loving, caring member of her family. She was active in all of her duties, which was an inspiration to us all. She was a strong leader, a loyal friend, and overall… an awesome person to know.

It would be selfish of me to say that, "I wish she were still here" but I can't help but miss her so much. I truly feel as if a part of me has been taken away, but at the same time, the memories I have of her have filled the empty places of my heart. I miss her hugs, I miss her smile, and I will always miss the joy that she brings every time she enters a room. I am thankful to God that she is finally at rest and getting the peace that she deserves. With the short time that I have known her, she’s already made more of an impact than most people I’ve known for years. I know that nobody’s perfect, but to me, she was. I know she already has a place in heaven, but for now, she’ll always have a place in my heart.

On behalf of my family, we would like to express our deepest condolences to the Fermin/Dela Merced family. We love you very much and your family has never left our prayers. We will always be here for you.

We feel the pain of the loss of our loved one but there is joy in our heart that she is resting or sleeping only and to be awakened and to open her eyes in the Holy City. She finished her course. May all of us do the same to remain in the Church of Christ until our last breath or until the day of Judgment.

She was full of laughter and had an incredible nack of spreading that infectious laugh to everyone around her. It was only a couple of months ago did I see her, and she was glowing! I'm pretty sure it was that fact that she was about to prepare for her wedding with Clint. I know she is in a happier place now - at peace. God blessed Eleanor with a soul mate that respected her, took care of her, and loved her immensely - that was Clint (and vice versa for Clint). My condolences to Eleanor's entire family and to Clint.

I helped her parents, Robert “kuya Bob” and Eleanor Sr. ”ate Ine” cared and looked after her along with her two sisters, Emylene and Elisa. All I can say about Eleanor is that she is the epitome of only the positive and bright side of life. She knows exactly how to cheer up people who’s down and depressed. She’s a person that never give the negative sides a chance to even pick in her vibrant attitude and personality. I have so much memories of her that I would cherish always. I am so sad because she leaves us so early but I am so happy also because she leaves knowing that she was strong, steadfast and remained in her duties to God until her last breath. Eleanor will surely sorely be missed.

We spent so much time together, but it doesn't matter how much time we spent because she was one of those rare people who if you've only met her for five minutes you felt you'd known her your entire life. She had a way of making everyone feel so special. I am so lucky to have known her. I feel a piece of me is missing now. My deepest and most sincere condolences to her family and Clint, I can't even imagine... these simple words arent even close to enough...

The most we can ever ask for in this world is to change it for the better. Eleanor did this every day, with every beautiful smile, every person she met. I have only great memories of her, so many that I'll be thankful for the rest of my life.

Eleanor, we love you. We miss you and it really hurts. The world is a better place because you were here. You will be with me and all of us every day. Thank you for being there. Rest now and be at peace.

To the family and Clint, thank you for your kindness you've always shown me, it will never be forgotten.

Thoughts/Condolences I will always remember the long conversations I had with Eleanor about life. I always considered her a great example and partner in crime. When I graduated and was scared to face the real world, she walked me through it. When I was worried about matters of the heart, she often offered advice to help me become stronger. She understood when I got a job and everything was hard to juggle. She would always be so encouraging. It was awesome to have someone who went through similar things I did. Training to become an organist is hard but having her there made it easier because I had a partner and someone to share my frustrations with. I will forever miss the way she would come into choir practice, knocking over all our hymnbooks with her rolly bag. Her vibrant smile and her love for life. I will miss seeing how happy she was to be in love. Everyone is right when they say that her smile could light up a room. I consider myself lucky to have been so close, to be able to say that she was my "sis".

Tito Bob, Tita Ine, Em, Lis and Clintok- my deepest prayers are with you always. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives.

A Place To Rest

God looked down on your body,
So tired from hanging on,
From a life that was overwhelming you,
And wanted back you.
So he took away the air you breathe,
And gave you what was best,
A place to be at peace,
A final place to rest.

You Meant So Much

You meant so much to me
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed my heart
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near

She will be surely missed.

We being all members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, we know that one day we will see each other again.

And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow

And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true.

Someday I wish upon a star
Wakeup where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why oh why can't I

Well i see tree's of green and red roses to
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And i think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well i see skies of blue and
I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And i think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colours of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
I also one the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do
They're really saying I I love you

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more then we'll know
And i think to myself what a wonderful world
World

Someday I wish upon a star
Wakeup where the clouds are far behind me
Well trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Oh somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh why can't I"

That was the last bit of advice that Eleanor gave me before she passed. I think I speak for everyone when I say that she was someone that lit up our days, giving us inspiration when we needed it. The last time we actually talked was at bakers square with clint and daniel and daniel was planning his classes for poly. It was that day when she told me to keep going, when everything was down. I'll never forget that day. She kept the Kadiwa together, making us perform above par level. It was because of her that made achieve great success in the Kadiwa. She will be truly missed by all of us.

My condolences for the Fermin family. Were here if you need anything.

She was the greatest inspiration to touch all of us.

Thank you Ate Eleanor.

Thoughts/Condolences I highly respected and admired Eleanor as a fellow CWS Teacher and Kadiwa Officer. She was truly a great youth leader inside the Church of Christ. The type of leader anyone would follow into battle. Strong and faithful until the end. She was always that friendly face that would greet you at activities and made you feel welcomed and you just knew that it was genuine. I always looked forward to playing against that girl at basketball tournaments and had the honor of playing alongside her once at an all-star game. It doesn’t amaze me that the loss of our sister has many locales far and wide saddened. She was just one of those people God blessed with the ability to make a difference in this world and with his people. Eleanor’s light will continue to shine in the people she’s inspired, comforted, and loved… She will be missed. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

Thoughts/Condolences She's the greatest friend one can ever have. She always had a smile on her face. She lightens up everyones day. When I heard of the news of her passing, I just couldn't take it. My mom called me crying over the phone, and I just knew that it was about you. It was like a stab that hurt so much. We'll surely miss you. Last time I saw you, you had this big smile on your face. Thank you for being an Ate, and a friend. I even wrote a poem just for you. Hope to see you soon.

You are the best.

Always have a smile.

You are the greatest.

No one can ever come close.


Why is it that great souls leaves us.

Why is it that great lives vanishes.

Why is it she who deserves to live leave.

Why, no one will ever know.


Eleanor, you are the best.

Always have a smile on your face.

Eleanor, you are unique and true,

You are one in a million, nobody else like you.


I thank you for all the kind words you've given me.

I thank you for having an open hand when anyone is in need.

I thank you for caring when nobody else did.

I thank you for just being you.


A great person has left us with just memories.

Memories of her life, to the fullest.

A great friend have gone.

To that special place God has promised.


Last time I saw you, a smile brightens like an angel.

Full of life, love and devotion.

It's as if you are still here, in our presence.

No one will forget, we'll remember forever.

Thoughts/Condolences Given the time that I got to spend with Ate Eleanor...the most memorable ones were always the funniest! She never failed to make me laugh or help me feel at ease when I freak out!! She was never judgmental and always gave people a chance to shine! My first encounter with her was the fist night I came to Montclair....she asked if I was an organist and she started jumping for joy..So I started practicing again!

She gave me confidence and guidance...she always reminded me of how blessed I was and that I should'nt take it for granted...I cherish that so much!

Thank you for being there for me Ate Eleanor...Thank you for giving me confidence...for allowing me to help you...even if it was small. I miss you so much! I will always love you!

Thoughts/Condolences When I heard the news of Eleanor’s passing, my heart just dropped. I’ve never felt so much shock of losing a friend that will never be forgotten.

Growing up, I remember spending most of our time with the Fermin sisters, Emirick, and Edel. Iris and Eleanor were so close back then. We used to go mall hoping with Grace and get kicked out for playing on the escalators. Those were the days. We all grew up and went different routes.

The thought of knowing she’s gone is hard for me to grasp, especially because she was too young to leave. But I understand that once we’ve finished our race, our time will come to rest and that time has come for our dear Eleanor.

My heart goes out to you Tito Bobby, Tita Ine, Emylene, and Elisa. My deepest sympathy and condolences to your family.

Thoughts/Condolences Eleanor … that smiley face, that cute lil’voice, her funny little ways.
How difficult it is to realize she’s not here anymore. We’ve felt so empty these past few days. I’ve been very close friends with Eleanor ever since she was 12. I felt her loving care for me, even from the start. She would often write me a letter when she would take vacations back home in P.I.. I remember when I used to pick them up from middle-school and she made fun of my clothing, i.e. my looks (whatta meany). We would talk all night while waiting for her mom & dad to finish fulfilling their duties after Wed nite w.s.@SGV. I appreciated her sharing her matters of the heart, and her thoughts about life and friends. I would often comment about her “dimple-hands”, even to this day. I would often give her advice all these years, but sometimes she can be so hard-headed. That‘s just Eleanor … a strong mind, a strong-head, but most times .. simply adorable. My memory of her is the fruit from fun times spent together in the Junior Choir, as Binhi officers, the Senior choir, the Kadiwa, as CWS teachers, and as part of our “barkada”, and because of these that it is so hard to accept that we won’t hear her voice, see her smile, see her sing in the choir-loft, see her walking in the hallways, hear her little giggles … anymore. She was part of what I’ve met. She was my little sister. I just can’t get used to losing her.
To the girl I call “Baby”, I’ll miss you and I love you.
To Ninong Bobby, Ninang Ine, Emylene & Lisa … we’re here for you, you’re in our thoughts, and we love you.

Thoughts/Condolences My heart goes out to you, Ka Bobby and Ka Ine and your other daughters.I always admired the very good example of Christianity in your family. I could only wish that all the people in the world could be like you... then there would be peace, brotherhood, genuine love and decency among everyone. When Bro Danny Munar told me about Eleanor's passing on, I felt the pain deep in my heart because I am a father, too. I always pray to God that if HE would grant me one wish, just one wish, let it be that I would be able to turn back the hands of time, even for just one half second, so that if my child gets hurt, I'd be able to turn back the time and prevent it from happening. And I am willing to give up my life for that wish to be granted.I will not have the chance to talk to you face to face and discuss the joys of parenthood, the agony of suffering when our children are sick, and the tremendous pain of a loss.Ka Bobby and Ka Ine, may GOD give you the strength that you need. She may have been taken away from you prematurely, but we know that GOD has his own reason for her early departure. Eleanor was lucky for having parents like you, and you were equally blessed for having Eleanor for a daughter.

in Christ,

Thoughts/Condolences Ate Eleanor was such a wonderful and beautiful person. I can't help but smile when I remember her. She was always full of positive energy, always smiling. She was accomplished in everything she did; in school, in work, and most especially in church. She had so many responsibilities but she was always able to balance everything; from work and school to all her duties in the church: choir leader, organist, cws teacher, kadiwa president, kadiwa district officer, she did it all. I remember all the times that I would doubt myself, especially as an organist and she would always be there to give me advice, encouraging me to do my best. She was one of the people that I looked up to the most and she will always be an inspiration to me. Everyone who knew her can say that they have taken something positive from knowing her and having her presence among us. I pray for all her family and friends and everyone who knew her. We just have to remember that she was blessed her whole life and she will soon receive the ultimate blessing of eternal life on judgement day. She will truly be missed. I love you Ate Eleanor.

Thoughts/Condolences I've been fortunate to have worked with Eleanor through out these years in the church. We were together when we did the leadership training and when we were officers in the district Binhi and KADIWA organizations. I will always remember her to be really funny with such quick wit. She was also a great mastermind of tricks and was one of the best mafia facilitator--a game we often played after our meeting and district KADIWA visitations.

The last time I spoke to her was during the district CWS teacher's class in July, and I remember we kept laghing and making jokes--just because. When we said good-bye, I didn't think that would be the last time, but looking back, I'm so glad that I got to see her before she passed away. We miss her now and will always miss her. I thank God for having met her. She was and will always be a GREAT INSPIRATION.

To Ka Bobby, Ka Ine, Emylene, Lisa and Clint and the rest of the Fermin family, we share in your time of sadness. She loved you all so very much, her family was her inspiration. We know that there are no words we can say that can fill that void in your hearts, but know that you are all in our prayers and everything will be okay. God Bless po.

Thoughts/Condolences Gosh, where do I start? One thing I remember about Ate Eleanor, is that everytime I needed to go over the alto in any hymn she would always be the one to stay behind after choir practice and she would go over the alto line with me. I remember those practices when we were still in the jr. choir, and Ate Eleanor would always ALWAYS remind us that we should sing our hymns as if we ourselves wrote them. I always laugh everytime she teaches in the CWS worship service because she always has funny jokes or funny examples to say. I remember when Ate Emylene and I were going to school for dialysis in Glendale, we would always pass by Ate Eleanor when we were stuck in traffic. We would call her cell phone and we'd say, "I see you!" and then she'd find us and we'd keep waving at each other, hehe. Oh! One thing I will NEVER EVER forget...is how Ate Eleanor and I would always tease each other on who has the biggest butt! We would be passing by each other in the chapel and I would spank her butt and she would always say, "HOW DARE YOU! DON'T YOU EVER!" and she would try to get back at me by spanking my butt too! Ate Eleanor is one beautiful person all around, and I shall NEVER EVER forget her.

Speaking for myself though I was totally devasted by the news of what happened. I still can't believe it. Even though Eleanor and I haven't talked in a while or even hung out I still feel the pain of her passing. Knowing her and having her as my sister and friend in the church was one of the greatest blessings God has ever given me. She had a huge influence on my life and the way I picture things now as an adult. She was the one of the most important voices I listened to growing up. She kept me on the straight and narrow. She is one the people in church that helped keep my faith strong and so I'm still a member to this day. I still can't believe she's gone. It hurts so deeply. I know God has his reasons for calling her to him so early. It still hurts though. I extend my hand to the her family meaning if there is ANYTHING they need from me. . . .I'll do whatever it takes to oblige. It's the least I can do to repay Eleanor for her love and kindness. I just wish I could've kept the lines of communication open between us.

I got to be blessed with her presence every single day. I was honored to be touched by her short life. I'm trying to find peace in all of this and I'm struggling. I laugh at the memories we created together, and I cry that I'll never make more. God I miss her. My heart goes out to her mom and dad.......she spoke of you daily with such respect and love. My heart goes out to Elisa and Emylene....her sisters were her life. I'll never forget laughing when her Ate would call her a million times at work making Eleanor laugh as they teased and tormented each other. And then there was her baby sister. I remember when I met her, Eleanor was just so excited to be showing her off. I remember laughing when Eleanor would call her at work acting like a customer. I remember being jealous that she had such a tight knit family. She was also SO in love. Clint, I don't even have the words...there was no eleanor without Clint and no Clint without Eleanor. You were just as much a part of our office as Eleanor. You always knew to call right when Dina came in the office. And you came to most of our lunches with us. Eleanor talked about you nearly every second of every day here. And you made her dreams come true the night you got engaged. Thank you for making my friend so happy. My heart will be forever broken.

Thoughts/Condolences To the Fermin family: Our hearts are with you during this very trying time in your life. Our inspiration:
I Cor. 15:51-54
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed;
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

Thoughts/Condolences The last time I saw Eleanor was in December, 2004 at the Fremont Chapel. She attended Worship Services there also. When she saw us after the service, she just did not leave us, she was with us as we were shown around, took pictures, and visited with friends.
I can not forget her candid and loving ways. Everytime she saw me she would give me a hug as she said "Hi Tita, how are you". Then last Saturday, Aug. 13th
when I heard what had happened to her in Tennessee, I could not help but shed some tears. Yes, we will miss Eleanor (Baby) as she was fondly called. And to her family, please accept my sincerest regards and condolences.

Thoughts/Condolences I can remember when I first met Eleanor. It was in 1978 when my family went back for our first trip to the PI. My family was invited to go out to dinner w/ Tito Bob and Tita Ine. We met them at their house. Both Eleanor and Emylene were still awake. While we were taking pictures, Eleanor was allowing each one of us to hold her. Barely knowing us, she nonetheless hugged and kissed each of us as if she had really known us. I have never forgotten Eleanor's trusting and open heart that she showed us that evening. I will truly miss Eleanor's outgoing personality. She was always so bubbly and energetic.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Eleanor's family. Please always remember that Eleanor died a fortunate death for she was still an active member and officer inside the Iglesia Ni Cristo. Eleanor will be one of those who will be raised by our Lord Jesus when He will return on His second coming.

Thoughts: I remember Eleanor to be the life of the party. She always puts a smile on people's faces. She loved to cuddle with her family and close friends. Eleanor was always smiling.

I really didn't know her but I admired her devotion and her passion for her duty and for her family.

To Ka Bobby and Ka Ene, Emylene and Elisa, God bless you and may he give you all the strength that you need.
