I met JayJay and Dan in Hecla during The Meeting Place retreat in 2018. She was very personable, friendly, warm and cheerful! The few times we met during activity sessions and swimming together instantly made us good friends. I am always thankful for the gift of friendship we had, that grew over the years. Our last conversations were all about her treatments and what she is going through - she is a fighter with her faith in God never waning! She said she will let me know when I can visit her and I was awaiting for that call or text but the next thing I heard was, she's gone. Her life was a living example of what kindness, love and compassion looks like. I sorely miss you Jayjay. Our family sends our deepest condolences to the Joaquin and Escobido family. - Posted by: Myrna Ong (Friend) on: Dec 03, 2020

Condolence to the whole family. I have been offering prayers for Jayjay when I learned from Ninang Emmie about her condition. God is faithful to Jayjay that she will be with Him in heaven. That is the answer of God to our prayers. No more pain but peacefully resting with our Creator. - Posted by: Rebecca Aquino (Sister's (Emmie) friend) on: Nov 28, 2020

I met Jay, Dan and Ace when I coached him in soccer. Later Dan and I would bump into each other at HSC. Dan and Ace, Jocelyn was truly one of the kindest, genuine and most endearing people I have ever met. She was never without a smile and even though soft spoken her love for Ace when she watched him play was louder than most. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you both and your family during this time. Heaven had truly gained an angel. - Posted by: Leanne Passante Case (Ace’s Childhood Soccer Coach) on: Nov 28, 2020
