Firstly, I want to thank my beloved Christian family, who in your own unique ways came to support my family members; especially my mother and niece(Yue Ying) during the time of the death of my sister Grace Tay Bee Tin. I pray and hope that the Word of God shared, the love of God shown and words of comfort will touch their hearts that they will  find  hope in Christ Jesus. Thank you very much for standing by me as i go through this time of grief.

Somehow, one of my immediate family is no more. My family will never be the same again. Grace will be missed by my family. I know the wider family in the Chinese fellowship will feel the lost too. Grace has gone home to be with the Lord.

This morning I received a call from my mother and she was weeping away. She told me about my Church members were at block 16 to pray and a little memorable service at the spot she rested. It is at the point of death that the promised of resurrection became a 'reality'. Praise the Lord, Jesus Christ rose from the dead! Over the last week, I was reading 1 Corinthians 15 again and again. Life of Jesus, the death of Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus will always be the key foundation for all believers and yes those who had past on will one day see them face to face. Of course, those who have accepted the Lord as their Savior and Lord.

I know I will be in grief for some time because the year I  lost my father in 1987 i grieved for a year. within a year 2 of my family members were no more on earth. In april my 2nd sister in law past away and now my sister Grace.  Henri Nouwen's book ; "Our Greatest Gift"- a meditation on dying and caring, will be my companion for the coming days.

I   hope  to bring a little closure on the death of my sister here, maybe this friday with my team members. I will plant a plant in-front  of my home.

Paise the Lord,  death has no victory, we will live with the Lord for all eternity!
