In a separate post, Andrew revealed that he learned of his wife's passing while in the middle of his taping for Family Feud in GMA 7.
"Mga kapatid, ikukuwento ko lang sa inyo ang pinakamalungkot at pinaka-worst na balitang puwede ninyng marinig. Kanina habang nasa GMA ako habang sa taping ng Family Feud ay tinawagan ako ng mga doctors niya dito sa St Lukes na biglang nawala ang kanyang BP and everything. Nawala lahat pati ‘yung oxygen saturation niya, ” he said.
“Kaya naman nagpaalam ako sa GMA and I want to apologize for the management of Family Feud, pasensya na dahil hindi ko natuloy ‘yung kanina dahil kinakailangan kong tumakbo rito (hospital). Inabutan ko siya actually nire-revive ng ating mga doctors and nurses. They did everything they could,” he added.
Schimmer has been sharing the journey of his wife to his followers ever since the latter was brought to the St. Luke’s Hospital at the Bonifacio Global City for treatment and had continuously ask for prayers for her healing.
