Ashley My family is out of town. We have someone looking after the house, Agnes; she has issues with her mind. According to Agnes there is water in kitchen. Hope water gets turned off. Hope our family doesn’t have to return home, soon, as my dad Al isn’t well and my mum Glenda wants to take my room apart (which hope never happens, as were I’m going to sleep?). Hope I don’t get in big trouble. 24 August 2026  
Ashley Hope I am not getting an eye infection. Hope my dad Al gets well enough to do more things. My mum Glenda has many jobs but, yet applying for more, worried about having enough time for things. Hope one job, she doesn’t get anything more from them, Brix Magic; it is a nightmare in more ways than one. 24 August 2026

Ashley Things went wrong. My mum Glenda made threats and called me ugly. I cried. She was mean to my dad too. She complains too much. She is mentally ill; worried about what will happen next. Hope to go to church and few other places. Hope my dad Al gets well enough to do things and remembers things. 23 August 2026  
Ashley A lot is going on. Not everything, my family is out of town. My mum Glenda is applying for jobs, despite having many jobs, she is applying for more, as she is worried about losing people often. They are issues with some private students, hopefully most of them got resolved, long story. One job that she might still have is a nightmare called Brix Magic, and the time its at is bad timing, Sunday morning, forced to help my mum, despite not knowing what I am doing either. Hope that Brix Magic disappears. My dad Al has surgery a few months ago, but don’t think he is recovering, at least not well, she had a nasty fall recently, in the dark. Hope he gets well enough soon. Hope to go to church this weekend and no rain. Hope to get what’s needed. Hope medical scooter still works, as getting it repaired here, will be impossible. Hope to have enough time for things, as things to do. There is an issue with the bathtub here (sometimes leaks) but no one can find what’s wrong with it. 22 August 2026  
Mary Ann Prayer Petition for the Repose of the Soul of Raffy Floralde Dear Reverend Sisters, Reverend Fathers, Brothers, and Members of the Religious Community, With a humble and grieving heart, I am asking for your prayers for the soul of my beloved youngest brother, Raffy Floralde, who passed away suddenly on August 17, 2026, at only 39 years old. Raffy had gone on a short vacation for a few days. On the day he was supposed to return home, he went to the bus terminal to purchase his ticket. After getting inside the bus, he suddenly collapsed. He was brought to the hospital, but sadly, he had already passed away. The doctor diagnosed the cause as cardiac arrest. His passing was completely unexpected. He seemed young, healthy, and well, and he had shown no obvious signs that something was seriously wrong. Because of various circumstances and difficulties, our family decided not to have an autopsy. We are therefore left with many questions and a great deal of sorrow as we try to understand and accept what happened. Raffy was a loving father to his two young children, Riley, 10, and Rhian, 6. He loved them deeply and had many hopes and dreams for their future. It is especially painful for us to know that he will not be here to see them grow up and to fulfill the dreams he had for them. We humbly ask you to please remember Raffy Floralde in your prayers and, if possible, in your Holy Masses and prayers for the faithful departed. Please pray that the Lord, in His infinite Love, Mercy, Compassion, Peace and Forgiveness, will receive Raffy's soul into His eternal embrace. May God forgive his sins, cleanse him of every imperfection, and grant him eternal rest and everlasting peace in His presence. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. We also ask you to pray for Raffy's children, Riley and Rhian, that God may protect them, comfort their young hearts, and surround them with people who will love, guide, and care for them throughout their lives. May the Lord give them strength to grow through this painful loss and never let them feel alone. Please also pray for our entire family. We are struggling to accept that Raffy is no longer with us. His death has left a deep emptiness in our hearts, and there are moments when the reality of his passing feels impossible to believe. Pray that God will give us strength, wisdom, faith, patience, and peace as we walk through this painful time. Help us to surrender our unanswered questions to the Lord and trust in His divine providence, even when we do not understand His ways. May God grant Raffy the eternal reward he hoped for, and may He give our family the grace to continue loving and remembering him while placing him peacefully into God's hands. Raffy, you will always be loved, always remembered, and forever remain in our hearts. We are deeply grateful for every prayer offered for him and for our family. May God bless you abundantly for remembering Raffy in your prayers. With sincere gratitude and a grieving heart, The Floralde Family 21 August 2026

Ashley Today not good day. My mum Glenda is being difficult. She was strict before but getting worse. Her mental health and memories are not good either. Things like smell drive her real crazy, for example, a near empty garbage many times is treated like a full one. I made a mistake, due to a misunderstanding, then later, she said she didn’t want them, but I was there, she did ask for them. My dad Al was on my side at first, but not sure now. They both threatened me, to kick me out, usually just her. Due to mistakes and whatever else is going on, I don’t think I’ll get the money I am owed from the past, only money I earn (if any) in the future. I need money but hope she and my dad not get nosy about my money. She is getting nosy about some things. She is getting worse, miracle if I get any money. Our family hopefully going out of town; hope we stay in the city we are going to and my mum has the common sense not to force my dad to take her too many places. He is not that well. 18 August 2026  
Vera Please pray for Vera, Elena, Ilya, Olga and Marina — that God may calm their hearts, remove anger, hatred and negative feelings, and fill them with kindness, love, and gentle peace.
