Our beloved father, Marcelino Rabe Villaflor, passed away on October 18, 2023. We would like to rededicate the garden we started at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church when our mother passed away in 2018, to both our parents.

Our beloved mother, Theresa Villaflor, passed away on March 30th, 2018. In her memory we decided, together with our father, to create Tessie Villaflor’s Memorial Garden at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church as a way to remember our mother’s love of flowers and to keep her joyous and faithful spirit with us.

​

Many thanks to Saint Gregory for donating the land for this garden.

​

With love,

Genevieve, Antonnette, Bob, and Marc, Jr.
