Eulogies from Siew Chin(4th Daughter)


Throughout the period of my mom's fighting with her stomach cancer, God has shown His amazing grace and gracious love to all the family members. My mom had displayed her usual strong spirit during this period too. On behalf of my family members, we would like to thank you for all of you for your prayer and concern and support. We would like to thank people like Dr. Loh Ee Chin, who specializes in palliative care, for her help, counselling and advice that had helped to reduce much of my mom’s sufferings, and Lee Ling, Ng Swee Aun, Pastor Tan, and many others who have helped in blood donation, prayer and others. We would like to express our deepest appreciation.

Mom was diagnosed of stomach cancer on 3rd April, 2008. On 18th April around 2 am, while Seng Kok, my husband was massaging for her, she told him about her first vision of seeing a beautiful garden. The following day, after coming back from blood transfusion, while she was walking in the living hall, again she saw flowers all around as if she was walking in a beautiful garden. She knew that time her time was near and she would be with the Lord soon. Soon later after that, her health deteriorated very fast.

On the 29th May evening, a few church ladies came and led her in prayer. Despite her little energy left, she still managed to say this prayer twice: "Lord Jesus, please come now to be with me, give me the blessings, in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen." Later around 6 pm in the evening, she called out for Seng Kok to stay around her and not to leave her and tried to call others family members to come. Richard, my brother-in-law came shortly. With two son-in-laws accompanying her by the bedsides and after maid cleaned for her, she requested me to cook some mee suah for her. After taking few spoonfuls, she requested the two sons-in-law to rinse and clean her mouth. Then she took her last breath and went to the Lord.

We are glad that she’s with the Lord now. We thank the Lord for our mother. From a humble, poor and war-time background, and by God’s grace, she had not only raised up all the children, well blessed by the Lord, she had also contributed much in the growing up of all the grandchildren. Again we thank you for all your support and prayers. Thank you.
