"God has obviously gifted you in the area of compassion and in seeing small details that others fail to see or fail to address. I am so proud that you don’t shy away from doing hard things.

"What we sow, we will reap either good or bad. Certainly money is necessary to live in this world. Though we haven’t always had paper money like we have today, there has always been a way to buy and sell either through trading other goods or various representations of wealth. It is clear we should not lust after money. However, we do need to be wise in the way we handle it and is not always possible to resolve every conflict, but it's possible to manage conflicts." ~from Precy Bierbaum her #lessonslearned

TRIBUTES FROM FRIENDS
"My strength comes from the Lord. Auntie Precy herself was amazing! In so short a time, one month or less, she handled the time frame of her last days with courage and bravery. Her affliction and suffering wasn't that long; and she faced it headlong with quick acceptance." ~Leah C. Dancel, (message to her niece Sarah, March 15, 2021)
"Na ala ala ko nga one time noon nag uusap kami about buying a property. Sabi ko kasi magandang investment ang lupa ba. Sagot nya sa akin, 'ako sistah ayaw ko mag invest ng material property kasi baka pag awayan pa yan ng kahit magkapatid. Kaya gusto ko na property ang love and respect ng mga tao around me. That would make me happy till the end', so yon nga talaga ang ginawa nya." ~Azucena Diaz Gaurana
"No words are enough to console the loss of loved ones, three in a row...
Two brothers and a sister all called by our Creator during this pandemic depressing time could really be affecting anyone's emotional, mental, physical conditions, events that would really rob anyone's joy. But as friends (though virtual only) we encourage you to stay strong and stay safe and healthy especially now, on your mourning." ~Rose Marie Natoza Santos, message to Precy's older sister Leah.
"She is a true friend , generous friend ever... She is and ever my soul friend that. ...My enemy ... is her enemy too! One and only very rare to find another friend like her." ~Trixie 'How's Martinez Weingarten
VERSE

PRECY
I saw her smile but for a little while
As pain permeated in her soul, but why
She knew that soon she'd be in another aisle
While waiting for her time, came God's reply.
Her time on earth was by God's might
That her wishes made known to Him for long
Her silent anguish pricked through the night
She confessed all shortcomings to whom she wronged.
She never took her life for granted like it was a game
Neither a doser of pranks nor served a dulcet treat
No one dared to poison her mind, lest you'd be blamed
She could turn your fair face into a russet rage.
