Her full post:
"Our beloved Anna Lyn S. Manalo moved on from this world earlier today, January 14, 2022. With sadness in our hearts, we find solace in knowing that she is in a better place. She is survived by her five children, Sherwin Nicco, Don Benjamin, Myki, Ai, and Colyn. We plan to host an intimate and dignified memorial service once everything has been arranged. For the meantime, your prayers will be very much appreciated.
In a separate post, Myki paid tribute to her mom by dedicating the song "Wind Beneath My Wings."
“Oh, the wind beneath my wings
"You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
"Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
"Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
"Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
"Fly, fly, fly high against the sky
"So high I almost touch the sky
"Thank you, thank you
"Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings”
Myki also wrote on social media: "You were a frustrated singer, Mommy. I remember you practicing this song again and again when I was younger. No matter the circumstances, you have always been the wind beneath my wings. Watch over me. Embrace me this way, Mommy. These photos are how I want to remember you. You loved me in the only way you knew how. It wasn’t perfect, but it was still love. Thank you for giving me life. Thank you, Mommy. Thank you for fighting. Fly high and rest now. I love you so much. Always and forever."
