G. G. Santiago Obituary February 21, 2026 - Billing Funeral Home View G. G. Santiago's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

Just found out that the creator of #RainbowBrite passed away back in February 21st. That show was very formative for me as an 80s kid, and after reading her obituary I get the sense I would have loved to meet her. Rest in peace www.billingsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/g...

One longer comic panel on its own.  Above it, it says "*Appendix." The panel shows the woman dressed in PJs walking towards the right side of the panel in 3/4 back, both hands on her head grabbing her hair, seemingly overwhelmed.  Her head is tilted up, but we can't really see her face. A thought bubble behind her says "Ffff...I need more therapy..." The caption below the panel says "Not included in between the happy panels: sudden, intense thoughts of anxiety, depression, self doubt, falling apart, identity crisis, etc. etc."

Two comic panels side by side. Above the first panel it says "9:30pm." The first panel shows a dark room except for the light coming in from the hallway.  The woman is hugging her child who is already in bed, while her husband stands next to her with a small smile on his face. The first panel's caption says "Kiddo's bedtime." Above the second panel it says "10pm," then it shows a downshot of a queen bed with the woman and her husband lying side by side, holding hands.  The woman is under the covers while the husband is on top.  They face each other while they smile and talk with no speech bubbles.  The second panel's caption says "Alex and I hang out for a bit before he goes back downstairs (he's on night shifts at work the next day)."

Two comic panels side by side. Above the first one it says "5pm." The first panel shows a deep bowl of steaming ramen with a soft boiled egg resting on the noodles.  Two chopsticks lie sideways on the rim of the bowl, and a spoon is sunken inside the soup; its handle also resting on the rim of the bowl. The caption of the first panel says "Instant ramen for dinner!" Above the second panel it says "5:30 - 8:30pm," then it shows a TV mounted above a fireplace, playing an Anthony Bourdain episode.  In it, Anthony Bourdain says "Let's crash a wedding!" In the foreground, we see the woman with her husband and pet birds sitting on the couch from behind, watching TV.  The caption of the second panel says "Watching Anthony Bourdain episodes."

The second panel shows the kid again at the table with an empty plate, looking over their shoulder to their parents off-screen while saying "Can I have dessert?" From off-screen, the parents reply with "You're still hungry?!"

Two comic panels side by side.  Above the first one it says "2-3pm." The first panel shows a lady in a dress holding up a carafe of hot tea in the background while a crowd looks on.  She says "We'll pair up the strawberry cheesecake bonbon with the hojicha..." We see the two friends from before in the foreground looking at each other excitedly while saying to each other "Hojicha!! <3" The second panel shows a tabletop with a Tea Tasting Wheel card, a porcelain teacup, and a butterfly-shaped napkin with three bonbons on top of it.  A caption rectangle at the top of the panel says "*Hojicha * Coco Ember Chai * Banana Bread Rooibos." Arrows point at each bonbon and say "Strawberry Cheesecake," "Salted Caramel," and "Dubai Chocolate." One final arrow points at the napkin with a caption that says "Butterfly napkin!"

Two comic panels side by side. Above the first panel it says "3:30pm." The first panel shows the two friends from before standing in front of each other and talking, but this time they're also exchanging ziploc bags with tea bags inside each.  Unintelligible speech bubbles surround them.  Each ziploc back is accompanied by an arrow and a caption; one says "rooibos" and the other says "yorkshire." Below the panel, the caption says "Back at my place. Exchanged tea bags and kept talking.  Then Kirsten had to go." Above the second panel it says "4:30pm," then it shows the woman from the beginning back in the PJs from the start of the hourlies (along with a caption that says "comfy again").  She stands with her child by the kitchen counter next to the toaster oven.  She says "And that's how you warm it up!" The child is about to turn a knob on the toaster oven, which has a tart inside.  The child says "Got it." The caption below the panel says "Kiddo wanted a snack (Portuguese custard tart!).

An image of Samwise Gamgee - the real OG - from the LOTR movies. 

"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't.
They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."
~Samwise Gamgee

It is getting harder to see it these days, but I always hold on to this quote from Samwise in LOTR: "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
