Today's celebration of life was a fitting tribute to a very special lady. I will remember Mrs. Chew's 'tonic' soups and her down-to-earth wisdom. My condolences to your family.

I am sorry to hear the news. She always gave me the best smile in church and she is always my "greatest star" - "Tai Ming Sing" which was the nick name I gave her. And she returned the best smile whenever I called her by "Tai Ming Sing".
She will be sadly missed :-(
