Tribute to Tita Betty

On my journal this morning,

I drew Tita Betty Evangelista.

She died last night after a 

hard battle with colon cancer.

She was an indomitable woman!

She had been sharing the Word of God

 consistently in the local jail for 14 years.

She had been a teacher and she 

treated the inmates like her students.

She was strict and 

taught them good values.

She gave love and hope to 

these pitiful men behind bars. 

She tried to restore their dignity.

She got awards and acclamation

from different organizations,

and although she was not rich,

she would spend the prize money

improving the conditions in the

public jail.

She was the one who invited us to

serve in the QC Jail a few years ago.

I do believe that God cannot be outdone

in generosity.

And so I am sure that Tita Betty

is being welcomed to her true home

with trumpet blasts and a 

parade of angels! 

On my desk this morning, several unfinished ATCs. 

The title of my set of ATCS is,

"You can cage the singer, 

but you can't cage the song!"

Tita Betty made sure that the inmates of QC Jail

could still sing in spite of their being caged! 

She was well loved!
