Family was at the center of her life. She was a wonderful mother and proud Navy wife. She created that safe harbor – a loving home that was always open to family and friends.
A woman of many talents – Andrelina was an excellent cook and the family loved that she put her own touch on Filipino dishes which were the first to go at family gatherings.

I just accidentally learned of Ate Andreling’s passing this morning when her obit just cropped out of the blue in my iPad. Am really,truly saddened here as I’ve always regarded her as an older sister and great friend. She welcomed me with open arms to their home while I was doing my postgrad training at Harvard Medical School in Boston. I was always a house guest in their home during the holidays. My cousin Eddie Serrano and she were always kind and solicitous whenever we were together. They had the opportunity to visit us here in Cabanatuan City , Philippines and those were truly happy and memorable times for us all.it’s sad that I’ve lost contact with their beloved children Edmond, Ronnie and Janice through the years. I send them my most heartfelt condolences, belated thoughts it may be.
Requiescat in pace, Ate Andrelina.
