Tributes

I have had the privilege of knowing Sister Dolor (Doy) and Brother Jack Capiral, along with their family. It was always a joy to welcome new members to the North Shore, a vibrant part of the INC community. Through the years, as we continued our journey as members of the church, our bond grew stronger, and we became not just friends, but like family. As time passed, life took me to the United States. Despite the distance, we made plans to reconnect and eventually met up in Maryland, USA. That reunion was truly memorable, strengthening our friendship. Later, we visited New Zealand, where we were welcomed with warmth, love, and ease, further deepening our connection. Sister Dolor will be deeply missed. She has completed her journey, spared from witnessing the hardships and deterioration of this world. Her unwavering dedication to the church, her family, and her friends is a legacy that will always be remembered. Thank you, Sister Dolor, for everything you have given.

That was in 2023 when my brother Jack and Ate Dolor came home to the Philippines for their vacation. We never imagined that it would be the last time we would be together. From all of us here in the Philippines, our hearts are deeply saddened by the loss of our dearly beloved sister-in-law. We will always remember Ate Dolor as a joyful and warm person, full of life and energy, and deeply faithful. She was a loving mother, a devoted wife, and a caring grandmother and aunt. We will never forget her ready smile and how she would always encourage us to visit New Zealand. By God’s grace, we hope that one day we can visit you and your family. You will always be remembered and cherished in our hearts. Rest in paradise, Ate Dolor. With love, CAPIRAL-PINCA FAMILY

We mourn the passing of our beloved Tita Doy, a woman whose life was defined by quiet strength, generosity, and deep faith. She was a thoughtful, generous and loving daughter to Amang and Inang, sister to her siblings, and to us—her nieces and nephews—she was a guiding presence. Her generosity went beyond material things; she gave her time, her wisdom, and her heartfelt advice, always wanting the best for each of us and helping shape the lives we live today. Tita Doy was also a faithful servant of God. She lived her faith fully and inspired those around her to walk closely with Him, reminding us through her actions what it means to live a life of devotion and obedience. The Santos clan will forever be grateful for the kindness, guidance, and love she selflessly gave. Her impact on our lives will remain with us always. To Che, Jazel, DJ, Gervin, and most especially Tito Jack, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Thank you for loving and caring for Tita Doy and for bringing her so much joy. Though we grieve her passing and will deeply miss her, we hold on to the promise that we will see her again in God’s eternal kingdom. Her love and legacy will stay in our hearts forever.

From a very young age moving to New Zealand, we were part of the local congregation of Northshore. Ka doy and her family had been there from the start. We were remember how nice and talkative she was always greeting everyone with a smile. She always performed her duties and was active member of the church. Every year or so, our family would be part of their family holidays and she’s always making a lot of food and desserts. Ka doy you will be greatly missed.

2/2 When I moved to Australia and was away from my family for six months, she was there to comfort them and make sure they felt supported. Even from afar, her love reached us. When our whole family finally migrated to Australia, she continued to message us, checking on us and keeping in touch. Her love never changed, even with distance. She remained part of our lives until she became sick. We miss her deeply—more than words can express. She was not only our godmother but truly our second mother. Her love, kindness, guidance, and the memories she gave us will stay in our hearts forever. She was a blessing to our family, and we will always be grateful to have been loved by someone as special as her.

1/2 I first met Ninang Doy in Northshore Congregation when I moved to that locale. She was introduced to me by my aunt in the church, and from the very first moment, she welcomed me with warmth and kindness. She was the first person I met in that congregation, and she immediately made me feel like I belonged. She even encouraged and trusted me enough to recruit me as an officer, serving as a secretary. From that day on, she became more than just a churchmate—she became like a second mother to me. She was gentle, kind, approachable, and always full of wisdom. She gave me advice like a mother would, comforted me during difficult times, and shared her life experiences to guide me. Her presence always made me feel safe, loved, and cared for. Later on, when she met my fiancé, she welcomed him with the same warmth and love. She treated him kindly, and in time, she became not only close to us but also our godmother during our wedding—a role she truly embraced with all her heart. As our godmother, she never stopped caring for us. She treated us like her own children. When we were just starting our family, she was always there—giving advice, checking on us, cooking food for us, and making sure we were okay. I will never forget how she was the very first person to visit me in the hospital when I gave birth to my first child. That simple act of love meant so much to me and remains in my heart forever. She and my husband, Felix, also shared a special bond. After every worship service, they would spend time talking about life, exchanging stories, and receiving her heartfelt advice. She was someone we could always turn to—someone who listened, understood, and genuinely cared. She would even offer to help look after our children, always ready to lend a hand without hesitation. Her love was quiet but powerful—shown through her actions, her care, and her constant presence in our lives.

Sis Dolor is such an inspiring sister. She is devoted and dedicated in serving God. She will always have a ready smile and will always chat or start conversations with us whenever we crossed path. She loves her family and is always proud to tell stories about them. She is positive and a cheerful sister. To Sis Dolor’s Family: Our deepest sympathies and condolences. We are so sorry for your loss. Brother Rustan and Sis Sahlee

I first met Sister Doy through my sister, who promised me that she made the best custard cake in the world. She wasn’t exaggerating, to this day, it remains the best I’ve ever tasted, along with all the other wonderful baked treats she so generously shared. ​But beyond her talent in the kitchen, I will never forget her vibrant spirit. I remember one morning tea after our worship service where she was the 'bangka' of our group, leading the conversation with such grace and wit. She shared stories of her life as a career woman, the sweet story of how Brother Jack courted her, and their adventures as migrants here in New Zealand. ​Her face truly lit up when she spoke about her four children. She was so incredibly proud of them, sharing her favorite stories and showing us how much motherhood fulfilled her. That morning, the air was filled with laughter and inspiration. I will always admire her as a devoted mother and grandmother, but most of all, as a faithful servant of our Lord. We will miss you, Sister Doy.

Mrs. Doy Capiral was my co worker at the National Power Corp. which was her last employment before the Capiral family migrated to New Zealand. Doy was a loving, kind, and generous person, both in her work setting and with her friends in her adopted country. We will always remember her genuine smile and warmth when she welcomed us in Auckland when we visited 10 years ago. Doy, rest in peace. 🙏🏾🌹❤️
