In a touching tribute, the actress-singer thanks her mother Lorna Entrata for facing every challenge with courage

MANILA, Philippines – The mother of Filipino actress and singer Maymay Entrata took to Instagram on Thursday, May 16, to share the heartbreaking news of her mother Lorna’s death after a two-year battle with cancer.

Maymay posted a touching tribute video of her and her mother walking through the streets of Japan, where Lorna had been working for many years to support their family.

In her caption, Maymay expressed deep grief and gratitude, reminiscing on their final moments together and reflecting on the life lessons her mother instilled in her. Maymay described her mother as a strong woman who faced every challenge and sacrifice bravely and selflessly.

“Mamimiss kita, Inay. Ma-mi-miss ko ang taong nagmahal at habang buhay mamahalin ako ng buo. Sa ‘yo ko natutunan ang magmahal ng walang kapalit at habang buhay dala-dala ko lahat ng natutunan ko mula sa ‘yo,” the Pinoy Big Brother alum said.

(I will miss you, Inay. I will miss the person who loved me completely and would continue to love me unconditionally for the rest of my life. It was from you that I learned how to love without expecting anything in return, and I will carry all the lessons I learned from you for the rest of my life.)

Maymay shared that one of the last things she told her mother before she passed was a plea to her followers: Never wait until it’s too late to show love.

“As much as possible, while your loved ones are still with you, hug them, show them how much you love them, and don’t waste a single day not expressing it,” she said in Filipino.

“Because time will come when their hugs will only be a memory, and the unsaid words will be so heavy on your heart. Love with all your heart before it’s too late.”

Maymay previously shared in April that her mother had been battling cancer for two years.

According to a Philstar report, Maymay is also caring for her grandmother in Cagayan de Oro, who is undergoing dialysis treatment. – Rappler.com
