Namayapang actress-producer na si Donna Villa, inalala ng kaniyang mga anak

Pumanaw nitong Martes ng hapon ang aktres at film producer na si Donna Villa dahil sa sakit na cancer. Siya ay 57-taong-gulang.

Si Donna ay asawa ng direktor at manunulat na si Carlo J. Caparas, at namamahala sa Golden Lions Films.

Sa ulat ng GMANetwork.com, inihayag ng kanilang mga anak na sina C.J. Caparas at Ysabelle Peach, ang pagdadalamhati sa social media posts.

Inalala ni C.J., ang kaniyang ina bilang “bright star” na nagbigay sa kaniya ng proteksyon mula sa pagkabata.

Inilarawan naman ni Peach ang kaniyang ina na isang "private person" at “beautiful human being.”

Sa harap ng kalungkutan, nagpapasalamat siya sa mga taong nakidalamhati sa kanilang pangungulila.

"My heart is filled with love seeing how much tears are being shed and how many hearts are breaking because of this beautiful human being's passing; the lives you have touched are truly countless," saad ni Peach.

"We will remember you as the big, bright, beautiful spirit that you always were. We will continue what you started, we will help those who need us and live every damn day full of love because that's what you would've wanted," patuloy niya.

Nabanggit naman ni CJ ang ipinakitang katatagan ng kanilang ama na si Direk Carlo sa harap ng kanilang pinagdadaanan.

“You are the epitome of poise and perseverance. You showed grit and resilience even if I knew that the burden was already too much for you to bear,” anang nakababatang Caparas.

Pinasalamatan ng magkapatid ang mga duktor at nurse na kumalinga sa kanilang ina sa ospital.

“I also want to use this post to thank your countless doctors and nurses from [the University of Santo Tomas] Hospital who tended to you day and night,” ani CJ.

Pahayag naman ni Peach sa kaniyang post, "I would like to thank the wonderful wonderful doctors who helped us during this difficult time. All of whom did their very best and cared for her above and beyond their hippocratic oath. I cannot thank them enough for giving us the time we needed before having to say goodbye."

Nagpaabot naman ng pakikiramay ang ilang taga-showbiz sa pagpanaw ng actress-producer tulad nina Vivian Velez, Ruffa Gutierrez, Francine Prieto at Sarah Lahbati.
