Eulogy

The meaning of the name Luciano is “light”. Perhaps it is but fitting that the father, grandfather, uncle, friend, bowler and doctor we all loved was named as such. For Daddy Lu has always been our “light”.

He, by his mere presence lights up our lives. The way he smiles is infectious. He is soft-hearted and rarely gets angry. If ever he does, this would not last long. You would only notice it by hearing just a slight raise of voice which eventually wanes also as fast. He has been an inspiration for me and I know that he has also inspired a lot of people- not only as a doctor but much more importantly as a person.

He is a man of all things. Words probably could not encompass or describe his stature as a person. He is a man who exudes with brilliance, wit, humor, steadfastness, simplicity, compassion, humility, integrity, sincerity, benevolence, generosity and most especially love. As a doctor, he embodies what a Cardiologist should be. He is not just a doctor of the heart but also a doctor with a big big big heart.

Yes, he is one of the pioneer cardiologists in the province. But then he turned down greener pastures abroad and in Manila just to serve his beloved province, especially the city of Dagupan with either free charge or a literally “discounted discount rate” or in kind- poultry, fruits and the likes. He is kindness personified. Truly a class of his own.

Dr. Luciano Flormata Fernandez or more familiarly Daddy Lu for most of us; is for sure very happy now because we are all here remembering and honoring him on his journey home. Let us be strong and happy. We all know this is what he wants.

To the man who is “the Light of our Lives”: Let us all say, “Thank you Daddy Lu. We love you and we will miss you!”

To Where You Are

My tribute to the late DR. LUCIANO FLORMATA FERNANDEZ:

To Where You Are  

Performed by Josh Groban

Music by Richard Marx

Lyrics by Linda Thompson

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
Your still an inspiration
Can it be

That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
Everyday

Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
