Msg from Nicky, USA

With exams starting tomorrow, the images and memories of Aunty Kat appeared through my mind and tears started rolling down my cheeks continuously. I can still remember how she would call and text me without fail before any exams that i have such as spm, driving test and everything that i go through in my life.

She was nearly another mother to me, checking up on me on how i am doing on my studies and everything in my life. Her death till now is a shock to me, seeing her how weak she was but she still made it for my farewell. Giving her that last goodbye hug before leaving was something that will always be in my mind and how she would try to put a smile on her face no matter how much pain she goes through makes her a woman of real strong at heart.

It only seemed like yesterday when all of us celebrated her birthday at 3K with a Grease theme and putting up a performance for her. How i got to know of her passing was a real shocker, as i was about to call my parents to tell them about the good news on how i succeeded in my exams for the first time obtaining a dean list, but right before i called my parents i saw the messages going out to Aunty Kat. I straight away called my mum at 5.30 am, crying and asking my mum about what happened. I could not help but not control myself.

No matter how much she goes through in her life fighting her sickness, there was never once i heard of her giving up but instead she would go all out for the Lord and continue preaching the word and supporting others who are in her shoes. With all that she has gone through, how she led her life is and never will go to waste but will be used as an example to others on how we should lead our life through trials in life and suffering.

Her life on this earth is not wasted and so is her work on this earth is not wasted. Her life story is something that no others can compare to.

I want to thank Aunty Kat, Uncle Mark and the whole family who have been there for me and my family all these years. With them helping us in our Foundation class and helping our family grow closer to God each time.
