Pumanawna ang ina ng TV host-actor na si Marlo Mortel dahil sa sakit nitong breast cancer.
Sa Instagram, nag-post si Marlo ng isang litrato kung saan kasama niya ang kanyang ina na si Merlie Pamintuan.
Sinulat niya, “Mommy. I can’t believe this is happening. I’m in so much pain. I don’t want to, but I have to let you go. All you ever did was love me and take care of me.
“I’m sorry for all my shortcomings but thank you for fighting, until your last breath you waited for me. You w e r e a l m o s t gone the o t h e r night but when I kept on talking to you, you responded and was able to stay with us for 2 more days.
“We were able to say our goodbyes. But this isn’t goodbye, I know you’re watching over us now. Kahit mahirap, kakayanin namin to ni daddy. Sobrang hirap ng pinagdaanan mo and you may rest now. My love for you is never ending. Si Jesus na ang bahala sayo at sa amin ni daddy. MAHAL NAMAHAL KITA.”
Bumuhos naman ang pakikiramay ng mga kaibigan ni Marlo kabilang na si Sunshine Cruz na nag-post ng “My deepest condolences to you and your family.”
Dagdag naman ni Jed Madela, “Sorry for your loss sending out prayers for you and your entire family. Condolence.”

Kami naman kisses and hugs, Marlo.(Delia Cuaresma)
