My deepest condolences to Tua Koo and the rest of the family on the loss of Tua Kim. I have met Tua Kim at different stages in my life and I have good memories of her. She has had a good life and now she is in the presence of our Lord and our God, and also family and friends who have passed on. She will be sorely missed but never forgotten. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in eternal peace. Amen. Big hugs to my Canadian family x

It has been a great honour to be one of the caregivers who helped Mrs. Ho in the last moments of her life. Remembering when I accompanied her while eating breakfast she gave me this look when being encouraged to eat, rather it was more like a glare with a smile.
I will always cherish and remember how she would always shout Help! Help! And when being helped to get up she would hug me and would say Thank You. While helping her it reminded me of my grandmother back home. Thank you again and you will always be remembered!
And Again condolence to her loved ones.

We are very sorry to hear about the passing of Rosa. I remember her well, and her amazing energy. I remember when she travelled my grandmother to Kuala Lumpur, and hearing all the stories about their adventures. She had an amazing spirit. You are in our prayers.

What a wonderful photo you have chosen of Mrs. Ho. This is exactly how we picture her and as she will be preserved in our memories - a beautiful, gentle, graceful lady whose warmth was ever present. She leaves such a beautiful legacy as she has passed the very same qualities to each and every member of her attentive and loving family.
Our whole family extends deepest condolences on the loss of Rosa.
Respectfully
