Julius Babao showed netizens the text he received from Andrew Schimmer one week before his wife’s passing in one of his most recent online posts.

Andrew had contacted Julius to see if he and his wife, Christine Babao, were available to testify.

As seen in Julius’ screenshot, Andrew asked the couple for permission to stand as witnesses for what appeared to be their wedding.

Andrew’s text includes a photo of their wedding rings, as he stated that he will no longer wait for the right time.

“Kuya Julius, ok lang po ba kunin ko po kayong witness and ninong at ninang ni Ate Tin? I will not wait for the right time to come… it is always the right time to express love anyways,”

Andrew texted.

Meanwhile, Julius expressed his heartfelt condolences to Andrew and their family on the passing of Jho Rovero in an online post.

“Kami po ay nakikiramay kay Andrew Schimmer at sa kanyang mga anak at sa pamilya Rovero sa pagpanaw ni Jorhomy. Grabe ang mga pagsubok na pinagdaanan ni Andrew para masigurong mabubuhay ang kanyang asawa subalit ipinagkait pa din ito sa kanya kung kailan papalapit na ang Pasko. Hindi ko kayang ipaliwanag ang sakit na kanyang nararamdaman. Ang alam ko lang si Andrew ay isang mabuting halimbawa ng asawa, isang matapang na nilalang na hindi susuko sa ano mang pagsubok sa buhay,” he stated.

“Noong isang linggo kinausap ako ni Andrew para tumayong ninong at ninang kami ni @christinebbabao sa kasal nila ni Jorhomy. Ako ay nalulungkot dahil hindi na ito nangyari. Gayunman, tinatanggap pa din naming maging ninong ng kanilang abot langit na pag-iibigan hindi man ito nauwi sa simbahan. Ang mahalaga sa mata ng Diyos at ng tao, wagas ang pagmamahalan nilang dalawa. Isang kwento ng pag-ibig na pag-uusapan sa mga daraan pang mga panahon,” .

he posted.
