Si Sheryl Cruz ay isa sa mga unang pumunta sa unang gabi ng burol sa labi ng kanyang tiyahin na si Susan Roces sa Heritage Park noong Sabado May 21, 2022. Pumanaw ang Queen of Philippine Movies noong Byernes May 20, 2022.
Si Sheryl ay anak ng former actress na si Rosemarie Sonora ang nakababatang kapatid ni Susan Roces. Parang tunay na anak ang turing ni Susan kay Sheryl pero dahil sa pulitika. Nagkaroon ng lamat ang kanilang relasyon nang kumandidato bilang Pangulo ng bansa noong 2016 elections si Grace Poe, anak ni Susan Roces at Fernando Poe Jr.
Dalawang araw matapos pumanaw ng kanyang Mama Inday naglabas ng saloobin si Sheryl tungkol sa malungkot na nangyari sa pamamagitan ng Instagram.
It never occurred to me that I might be here one day, talking about my Mama Inday instead of being with her. Mama Inday was unbelievably compassionate. Her heart and her generosity knew no bounds. Her door was always open - (literally). You could just walk in and people often did. That’s how big her heart was. I am who I am today because of her, she raised me as she was my mom. To be able to kiss and hug her again would be the greatest miracle in the world. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal. Her life was a well-lived blessing, and her memory will always be our treasure. I love you Mama Inday
Hindi lamang parang tunay na ina ang trato ni Sheryl sa kanyang Mama Inday dahil nagkasama rin sila noon sa mga pelikula gaya sa 'Ubos na ang Luha Ko noong 1991 at sa 'Mundo Man ay Magunaw noong 1990.
Mahal na mahal ni Ashley ang kanyang Lola Inday kaya nakakaramdam siya ng pagkadismaya dahil hindi siya makakauwi sa Pilipinas para sa libing ng 80 year old multi-awarded and rspected actress.
Ito naman ang open letter ni Ashley para sa kanyang Lola Inday,
My Dearest Lola Inday,
I don't know how to start this off. My Feelings are spilling out and I am overwhelmed. I've been thinking of ways to let my pain out, Turn all these negatives to positives.
Let's start with me, I'm disappointed and embarasse in myself. 6000 miles away, only learning about tragic happenings through a phone screen. Knowin, once again, that I'll be missing another funeral, another send off.
Many would probably remember you as a face on the TV screen. But they don't know you like I do. When I had no one to rely on, you stepped up. When I had no one to take inspiration from or be a model, you stepped up.
When the family were more like enemies, you stepped up. You opened your arms and became the warmth for me. I had always felt outcasted and eccentric until you. You made me finally feel what it was like to be favored.
You encourage me in my studies and my work. you encourage me to pursue even the stupid things I did'nt think I could do. You don't know it, but it is because of you that I choose to do what I do. Because of you I have dreams.
But I'd give them up, all of them up for a mere five minutes with you. Work a minimum wage job just to hear your voice again. I guess it truly was time.
Maybe it was planned that I should not have been in that room with you. Because if I were, it would've felt like home and it would've been slipping from my finger once again. And I'm going to miss your stories.
When we were younger, you always told us stories. Even in the middle of dinner. Even during those times we greeted you "good morning" and "goodnight". You told us about a kingdom. A castle, with doors that'd bring you to different countries. You said it was hidden between large mountains, away from human eye. You had the key and I hope that someday, I would be able to be with you in that castle. So that we could write our own happily ever after.
You'll stay forever in my heart.
Ashley
