It has been a week now since a traumatic incident happened. The memory still is vividly clear and fresh that it always breaks my heart, crushed into pieces. It feels like I am dying inside. I could not bear the pain, it is so hard to accept, and I could not help myself but mourn and cry an ocean of tears. Quick, sentimental tears are even falling while I am writing my message of appreciation and gratitude to all of you my dear friends in Hive. You have my most sincere appreciation and my deepest gratitude.
My dearest sister Febe Erika, 
It breaks my heart to always remember all the happy memories with her. She is both beautiful inside and out. She is very thoughtful, helpful, generous, compassionate, and kind. We are not born with a silver spoon but I feel so blessed because I have an angelic sister and very loving parents. She may be brilliant, skilled, and talented but she was down to earth. Perhaps my sister is a very humble person because our parents always reminded us even when we were still young to always be humble about whatever we would achieve and have in life, and that all glory and honor always belong to our God.
I had truly witnessed how hive became a very special and priceless community to my dearest sister. The moment she joined Hive, I could feel that she was very happy and excited about interacting with everyone in the community every single day even though she do not know personally all of everyone she met.
Most of the time, I saw her laughing and very happy every time she was engaging in the Discord channel of 
However, the biggest challenge came when I was still a newbie on the platform and made a mistake that became an obstacle in my journey here. I lost interest and was about to give up but through my sister
It was my sister Erika who inspired me to come back here. She invited me to join the
But the saddest incident struck last August 15, 2022, at around 1:00 pm while waiting for the bus at the checkpoint of Alae, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. My sister was accidentally hit by a Mitsubishi Pajero 1999 model which led to her immediate death. In a blink of an eye, she was gone. I held her as long as I could. A very traumatic and tragic event for me and my family.
Despite what had happened, I informed all her closest friends. The incident became trending on Facebook and the news but her friends in Hive didn't know it yet because my sister was
Until such time that one of my friends 
I have received a total of Php 29,951.28 from Hive which has been used for the construction of her grave.
My sister’s body was laid at the Philippine Independent Church last August 16, 2022. I was amazed at how she was very loved by everyone and my family did not truly expect a large crowd to visit and remember her even friends and relatives from far-off places just to see her one last time. My mother and father even cried because of the loving and caring people who expressed their deep sympathy for our family which my parents did not expect.
She was buried in Alae Cemetery last Friday, August 19, 2022, around 11:00 AM beside the graves of our dearest loved ones - our deceased uncle and grandfather. This was the very reason why we chose to bury her here. We customized her grave with a sunflower as it was her favorite one. She will always be loved, never forgotten, and forever missed.
Moreover, she truly took a big part of our hearts as she genuinely touched our lives like an angel. My life will never be the same again without her. Perhaps I was saved for a second so that she will always be my guardian angel. What a painful reality it is as we have lost her but our family has gained the sweetest angel ever.
YOU ARE AN ANGEL, ERIKA!
