With every breath and every ounce of strength, she inspired us against 
her battle with cancer. On Thursday, March 19th, 2009, our loving Lorena 
Abad Asperin embarked on her journey to heaven and was embraced by our 
Lord. While her years in life were shortened, her abundance of love and 
joy will endure in those who adored her.
 
Born June 7, 1971, in San Francisco, CA, she was the daughter of Renato 
Fortin Abad and Lolita Corcoro Abad. She was the supportive sister of 
Betty Abad Barnuevo and John Ray Abad and devoted wife to Randolf Jovero 
Asperin. As a wonderful mother, her greatest works of art were her 
children Ryan Tyler, Lauren Nicole, and Connor Reid.
 
A graduate of Kempsville High School and George Mason University, she 
earned a degree in accounting and later spent her professional career at 
KPMG. She obtained her CPA and moved up the ranks within the Company, 
eventually reaching the position of Associate Director for the 
Mid-Atlantic Region. In the years of fighting her illness she became a 
strong advocate for breast cancer awareness.
 
Lorena was an adventurous cook, aspiring karaoke singer, avid reader, 
Dallas Cowboys fan, Grease musical fanatic, and a movie aficionado. She 
was the life of the party and the source of constant laughter and joy.
 
She will be missed dearly by friends and family. Additional survivors 
include, Alvin Barnuevo, brother-in-law; Brody and Ayden, nephews; 
Rosemae, sister-in-law; and Ken Lowry, Niko, Andrew, Christian, and 
Sydney, nephews and niece; Rizalyn, sister-in-law; and Allan Delgado, 
Rogelio and Remedios Asperin, parents of Randolf; cousins, Neriza 
Tackett and Tom Peters, Lisa and Roberto Andriano, Jeanette and Carlos 
Corderio; and numerous uncles, aunties, and cousins from the Philippines.
 
A viewing will be held at Tuesday, March 24, 2009, from 6 to 9 p.m. at 
Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Kempsville Chapel. A Mass of the 
Resurrection will be held on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, at 1:00 p.m. in
