Be strong Matriarch Olivia V. Yanson
Yanson Family Matriarch Olivia V. Yanson (OVY) issues new message to her eldest son Roy (August 4, 2019)
I am deeply saddened that my son, Roy, would counter all my statements in public rather than visit me in my house. It only shows how he regards me as his mother.
I have invited you, Emily, Celina, and Ricky to my house to discuss this problem as family but instead, you are lecturing me about matters discussed in the Family Constitution. My son, you don't have to remind me of those things. I am fully aware what transpired in those meetings.
You are so candid in telling your story to the public, giving credit only to your late father. Have you forgotten that I was a part of your father's achievements? That we hurdled all difficulties when we first started our business? Have you forgotten the contributions I made to the companies which made you and your siblings' prominent personalities in the community? That even in my old age, I never stop nurturing the needs of our employees to motivate them to stay with us? Am I not part of this company?
I was not just the shadow of your father as I was his business partner in building this company. I dedicated my life in this company.
Pray hard that your own children will not do what you have done to me, because it never occurred to me that in my twilight years the four of you will DENY me the LOVE and RESPECT I long from the four of you.
Listen to your conscience, Roy. Honor me as your MOTHER. You are a parent, too.
Pray and seek spiritual guidance, Roy. I am counting on you as my eldest son. Have the wisdom of a righteous person.
I had instilled positive values to you and your siblings when you were young kids. Your Dad and I raised all of you to become good citizens.
I cannot find words to describe how hard you've become. Yes, change is inevitable but I never imagined that the "change that you will embrace" means turning your backs on your mother. Listen to your hearts. Return to Christ's teachings. Do not listen to the ill advice of other people. They do not mean well to all of us.
I know you all so well because you are my children, my blood and my flesh.
I hope those people surrounding you, claiming to protect your best interests do not have vested interests in your material success. Otherwise, you will regret it in the end.
You can have as many so-called friends or special people in your circle but I am your only Mother in this world.
Listen to your hearts Roy, Emily, Celina, and Ricky. I am your mother.
Mommy Love
