“We’d like to thank everyone who has since extended their prayers and condolences to us as our family is trying to come to terms with this unfortunate incident,” she said.
“Please provide us the respect and privacy to grieve and we hope this would put all speculations to rest,” she added.
Andi hopes that Jose’s legacy will live on describing her mom’s life as her “greatest obra maestra.”
“I would just like to say that her undeniable legacy will definitely forever live on through her work, through her children, grandchildren, and the many lives she’s touched. As she herself, her life itself was her greatest obra maestra,” she said.
