I never knew that day would come that I would have to write a eulogy for someone so soon. Writing for my mother was hard as there are so many things I would love to include in and during the process, coming to terms with the fact that she's gone made it difficult for tears not to be shed. God has been a comfort, answering my prayer for me to dream that my mother is happy in her new home. It was a quirky kind of dream but I saw her cheeky smile and that kept my heart at peace. He has shown His faithfulness throughout this ordeal and I'm grateful.
An edited and lengthier version of the eulogy:
Our dearest mummy was truly a unique lady. And if you had the opportunity of spending some time with her, you might understand what we mean.
She loves the company of family and friends, loves having chit chats, phone talks with good friends and recently getting to know Uber/grab drivers, she never stop making new friends especially the market sellers, kopitiam servers and even other fellow marketers like her, therefore she always has lots of stories to share with us.
And so, some friends we only got to know through the stories she shared with us.

Many who knew mummy would be able to tell about her selflessness and generosity. Sometimes, if you would comment on her lovely accessories “Aunty, sui lo, lu eh earring!”, mummy would likely take it off and happily give it to you.
To friends, mummy cared for what her friends were going through.
As a mother, oftentimes, she got to know a lot of our friends, and through the years some even got used to calling mummy and daddy like their very own.....
Her granddaughters will miss squeezing and cuddling with her. Even playing with Mama using Snapchat and whatnot. Mama will play along and just make them laugh at her cuteness.

On the morning before mummy had to be rushed to the hospital, she had already gone to the market to buy “ho liaw “ food for us and her two granddaughters. She loves to make people around her happy.
Stories of our mother will never end, we will keep those memories in our hearts.
Although it was hard for us to let mummy go, we know she’s in a better place where she can dance with no pain and suffering. *her cha-cha, waltz n jive

Thanks to everyone who was there for us, for all the prayers, support, and generosity, your presence means a lot to us. In all the ways that you have shown us love from near or far, we deeply appreciate it.
God bless you.
God bless you.
