The seasoned Kapuso news presenter took to Instagram on October 8, and uploaded a video clip of her Mommy Mila.
Mariz Umali then wrote in the captions that losing her Mommy Mila devastated her.
“Ma, sabi nila I should just accept and be happy, for you are in a better place now and there's no more pain. Ma, sorry ha kasi ang hirap hirap pa rin and no matter how hard i try, everyday just seems to get even more painful and difficult. I am honestly and truly devastated and heartbroken, Mommy ko.” Mariz admitted.
“How I desperately miss u. Thank God I was able to take this memory of you. I will never get tired of telling you, “Love you, Mommy”…hoping that someday, I will again hear you tell me “Love you, too”
In the comments section, Kapamilya heartthrob Gab Lagman also expressed how much he misses Lola Mila. Gab's mom and Mariz are first cousins.
