Despite her condition, Matutina drew strength from people around her. "Marami po kasing hindi nakakaalam na very matulungin po si Mama. Her priority is to make other people happy -- family members, close friends. And because 'yun ang kanyang priority, kailangan niyang lumaban," said Shiela.

Her health was okay, as Shiela would describe it. Her husband Henry said she has been under medication since 2016. Her dialysis treatments have been continuous for almost nine years, up until her last session last February 12.

"Tapos na 'yung dialysis niya then her doctor called me. Sabi niya, 'Brod Henry, come to the hospital, I have to tell you something about your wife.' Nagpunta ako doon and in-explain niya, mababa ang sugar, mababa ang BP (blood pressure), she needs to be brought to the ER (emergency room)," Henry recalled.

He continued, "When she heard that, she woke up. 'No', sabi niya huwag. Ayaw ko, nahihirapan na ko. Then sabi ko, 'What do you want?' Sabi niya, 'We will go home'. [I said] 'Doc, she doesn't want to go to the ER.' The doctor said, 'You can go but just in case, bring her back here.' So we decided we bring her back home."

Matutina's grandson Luigi recalled his lola's remaining days after her last dialysis at the hospital. He noticed that they struggled just to get his "granny" (how he calls his Lola Evelyn) to stand up or go to her bed.

"I remember na she was really tired at that time. It was as if hindi na niya kaya. But the day before that, she was so strong. Nakakausap pa niya ako, she would still ask help to walk," he said.
