Aunt Lelen made sure an ambulance was on standby, while Ate Jamie lovingly watched over her dad with so much love and concern,” Wicklund wrote in the caption.
“All went well when they took him to their home in Blue Ridge. Even Ate Jamie’s dog, Kitty, was all over Uncle Samboy in excitement. Everyone had tears of joy while they sang happy birthday to the Skywalker. Later that day, Fr. Gigi Yabut offered Holy Mass for the special intention of continued healing,” she added.
Lim collpased while stretching during an exhibition game of PBA Legends at the Ynares Center in Pasig on the night of November 28, 2014. He fell unconscious before reaching the hospital and eventually slipped into a comatose.
