Kahit sumakabilang buhay na si Pangulong Cory Aquino ay hindi parin makakalimutan ang mga nagawa nya. Ang kanyang pagkamatay ay isa sa mga makabuluhang pagkamatay ngaung 2009. Kabilang sa listahan sina Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, US Sen. Ted Kennedy, at iba pang mga sikat na personalidad sa buong mundo.
Ilang beses na din nafeature si Dating Pangulong Aquino sa Time Magazine dahil sa mga naging kontribusyon nya sa bansa at sa pagiging matatag nya. Tinuturing siyang isang bayani hindi lng sa ating bansa, kundi sa buong Asya.
Kahit wala na sya, ang alaala ng isang ina ng bayan ay hindi basta basta makakalimutan. Isa lng itong patunay na sikat ang pinoy at ginagalang ng ibang bansa.
