In Loving Memory: Madam Ooi Lian Chu (1935-2008)

It is with immense sadness I announce that my Mom passed away on June 8 (Sunday) at the age of 72. She succumbed to complications from pneumonia. It was all too sudden and it does not make any sense at all. I am sad and coping. I know she and Dad are now in a much better place, but I can't possibly tell you how much they will be dearly missed and constantly remembered. They are examples of humble parents who made ends meet for the children with unconditional love. I consider myself very lucky. Truly, the love of parents is boundless and there is no way one can repay. My regret, she didn't live to see the new house ready (in 1-2 more months).

I urge you to be kind to your living parents. On this note, I pay homage to all Mothers.
