Nakakalungkot at sobrang sakit na malaman na isa na namang haligi sa industriya ng musikang Pilipino ang sumakabilang buhay.

Lalo na at isang tao na napakalapit, tunay at tapat kong kaibigan sa loob at labas ng showbiz.

Kailan lang, you were my guest during my 45th Showbiz Anniversary Concert at the Philippine Arena.

Yon na pala ang last performance mo para sa aming lahat.

I will miss you Mare. 😭😭😭 #RestInPeaceClairedelaFuente” Imelda wrote in the caption.
