when i stumbled,fell and lost my self-esteem for awhile,your embrace brought back my being. You were in Ireland then but as soon as you came back,your personalized letter and token for me weren’t enough because you looked for me. When all i could give you were my guilty tears and my humble apology,you said nothing but instead gave me a tight hug. “Look Jenny,the Church is not for saints but for sinners…there are no ‘WHYs’ for me now but WHAT’S NEXT? I may have failed to answer your significant question but you compassionately read the cry of every drop of tear I shed. Your full confidence in my “not so typical” decision blew away the fears clouding over me. Your second assuring hug said it all.

Thank you very much Fr.Flan Daffy for being the good shepherd who went out of his way to look for the one lost sheep.

I thank God for the gift of person I have in you.

So sad to hear of Fr. Flan’s passing. I remember him as the smiling priest who celebrated our baccalaureate mass in my elementary graduation in Tacloban City. May you rest in peace Fr. Flan.

My family and I are very sad and shocked to hear of our dearest Fr. Flan’s passing. We will truly miss him. He co-officiated at our wedding in Cebu, baptised both our children and always found time to visit us over the years. We always got the warmest welcome whenever we visited him too.

We extend our deep and sincere sympathy to Fr. Flan’s family and the Redemptorists who looked after him so well.

Thank you Fr. Flan for your friendship, joyfulness, generosity, humanity and love. You have been to us a living witness to our Lord Jesus Christ, a truly faithful servant. We will remember you with joy and deep affection always. May you rest in peace in God’s embrace,

Thank you for everything. You may not know me personally but you have been a constant presence in my growing up years when we use to hear mass at Redemptorist church in Tacloban. I will never forget your smiling face. Rest in peace.

Fr.Flann Daffy established the St. Joseph Parish in San Jose, Tacloban City. He conducted catechism to some volunteer catechists (one of which is my mother) I remember in my childhood I would always look forward to attending Holy Mass every Sunday because I know Fr. Daffy is the presider. Not only because is a foreigner, but also because his homily touches my heart that its almost like listening to Jesus. After the mass he would walk down the center aisle and children like me would rush to get his blessing. I would ask for his signature in my mass card. Thank Fr. Daffy for the soulful memories you have left us.

This Old Man, who would always look down on me and say,”Hey, an gutiay nga babaye, kumusta?” wearing his enigmatic smile. I will not forget him. May the good Lord grant him his eternal repose.
