This is to our long-time and amazing friend and soldier in the Lord, Eliseo "Shuty" T. Guilo.
Last night during Christmas Eve, he met a vehicular accident at Marcos Bridge. He was hit by a patrol car. He had one more passenger along with him in his motorcycle. He had no head injuries yet had severe damage on his stomach, lungs and legs. There was also a report on internal bleeding.
We got the news at about 8:56 in the evening. It was truly a devastating moment for a lot of us in IO, including those who knew him. It wasn't a very happy Christmas eve for us. Yet we know and we rejoice in this loss, because we know that he got the best gift this Christmas: heaven.
I remember the timess, when along with other people, we would just have great time together. Kuya Shuty, being one of the really comedic people in the group, would somehow become the life in the party. And as he grew spiritually and gained more responsibilities, he showed all the more that he wasn't after what the world had to offer, but he was after Jesus. He truly set an example not only to those who came after him, but even to those who were around him and before him. He truly showed with his life that he loved Jesus with everything that he was. He bore so much fruit. He was truly salt and light to the world. And thru his life, we praise our Father in heaven.
Losing someone hurts. It is painful--- excruciating. Yet we have a peace, and it comes not from the world, but a peace that surpasses human understanding, and that is from Jesus.
