Family of Ate Gay thanks Heart Evangelista for her help

The family of Ate Gay, whose real name is Gil Morales, expressed their gratitude towards Kapuso actress Heart Evangelista who extended her help even after the comedian passed away. On Ate Gay’s official Facebook account, the family shared a glimpse of the heartwarming note in an envelope that the actress gave them during the wake of the comedian. 

Ate Gay passed away earlier this month after suffering a stroke and being diagnosed with septic shock and acute respiratory failure secondary to pneumonia. Prior to her death, she was diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma, a type of cancer that usually affects the salivary glands.  

Heart wrote directly to Ate Gay in the short, but meaningful letter that she gave to the family. 

“Ate Gay, you are finally home… God bless your home and family,” Heart wrote.

The family of the late comedian then expressed how grateful they are for the help of the Kapuso actress–– easing their burdens. 

“Since then, thank you so much Ms Heart. And now, when we need help the most, you continue to reach out to us, asking how you can help ease our burdens. Your kindness and thoughtfulness mean so much to us, especially during this difficult time,” the family wrote.

Meanwhile, Ate Gay was laid to rest last November 10 at the Forest Lake Memorial Park in Laguna. 

Prior to her passing, Ate Gay had an interview with Karen Davila last August and shared about her cancer journey. 

“Lumaban kasi naniniwala ako na pag patay ka, patay ka na. Kaya yung buhay, dapat ienjoy. Hangga’t buhay ang tao dapat masaya. I-enjoy ang buhay, i-enjoy ang bigay ng Diyos, i-enjoy ang makulay na daigdig na gawa Niya, i-enjoy ang makulay na entablado na bitbit ko hanggang ngayon,” she previously expressed.
