Last tribute to Mdm Ooi C M‏ (By Alfred Koh)

Dear all,



My sister in law passed away yesterday all of a sudden.

She was sent to Kuala Krai ICU, then KB specialist centre,

and finally ... gone.

We were sad and missed her so much. When coming

back from KB, we calmly told the children that

their beloved aunt is gone... they burst out crying...

My daughter showed me a handkerchief sew by her aunt

and between sobs, she said... "aunt said she wanted to teach me to sew.."

My nephew said, "I just helped her feed the bird this afternoon...."

A cloudy day....

She was so closed with us, caring for the children, good in tailoring

and gardening, and was temperate in her behaviour.

All of a sudden she has just gone away forever....


I always said life is destined, and fate is destined,

seeing many who pass away without leaving big impact

on me.

But this time it was so different.

I thought I could hold my tears, but when seeing her

lying down in the coffin, the last apperance was so

peaceful and gentle... but soon she would be sent

for cremation.... i burst out crying....


Life is short.

The purpose for us to live in the world is to love,

to share and to contribute. We are born into

our family, we have our own parents, children, relatives

and friends, this is a special 'arrangement'.

We should treasure it, value and appreciate

whatever we have. We will soon leave this world

too, then everything on earth, or anything belongs

to us... will have nothing to do with us anymore.


Therefore, we should be kind to the people

we know, we love and we care. We may think that we are

important, knowledgable, doing great job to the society...

but compared to the all mighty, we are just a petty dust....


May God or Buddha bless all . May our world become

more and more peaceful. May all those aggresive world

leaders change their crazy mind. May those criminals

have a sense of mercy... respect the life of others.


May all love and being loved, care and being cared for ...

May the religions make no boundary in basic humans' life... may

all understand this....


May God or Buddha bless the soul and spirit of Mdm Ooi C M.


regards,

Alfred
