To all the family:
I am saddened but happy that Mr Y is at peace now and with his wife,parents' and siblings.
What a man he was. He was a good, son, brother, husband, father and grandfather.
I admired him and truly respected him like my second father.
He will be missed but the love he gave us all will never be forgotten.
