From Chui-En, ex-colleague

Mark, Melissa, Pamela & Darren.

I have known Boon Kee since my days in GPTJ. When she graduated from MU she expressed an interest in tax and I was working in KPMG tax then. I remember putting her in touch with Poh Keat and she was hired. She was an exemplary employee and colleague, always going the extra mile in her work.

When I left Malaysia, we kept in touch and I knew of her illness. I remember coming by to visit your family during one of our trips home. Your family took Yung Juen and I for breakfast that Yacht Club in Port Klang.

Even in her illness she was always encouraging people and in her selfless manner, she was ministering to others. I referred 3 of my colleagues in Schlumberger who were suffering from cancer and she would call to encourage and speak words of comfort and assurance to them. Such is her gift and her heart for people. The last few months were difficult for her and your family. When she was coughing badly and too weak to speak, she used the SMS to communicate.

Even as we grieve her passing, we know her suffering is over and she is in the presence of our Lord. Her mortal body has been clothed in immortality and death has been swallowed up in victory - 1Cor 15:53-54. What blessed assurance.

You have lost a wonderful wife and mother and we have lost a good friend. May the Lord continue to comfort you in your time of grief.

(Chui-En and Kathryn were close colleagues in KPMG. Chui-En was also in the same church in GT Petaling Jaya many years back).
