Dearest B姐 BJ, I feel that “I am like a weaned child with its mother” (Psalm 131:2) fits you very well. May you rest in eternal peace and joy with our beloved family members and friends in Jesus! Thanks for your teaching and witnessing of how to live and to trust in our Lord. In prayers, we’re always close and we’ll meet again. Amen

Dear Noel,
Your gladness and faithfulness to serve our Lord, your gifts of teaching, caring especially to children and the elderly, will be remembered.
I treasured our tea time together when I was in Hong Kong and your love to my children will be remembered.
Rest well! Dear sister in Christ.
May God’s comfort be with Matthew, Erica and Kevin!

Erica and family, sincere condolences. Wishing you comfort in your faith and memories. We have many fond memories of your mother over the years from dinners and tea parties to your wedding (x2!). She was diminutive in size yet had a large presence that will be missed. Much love to you all.
Noel was a kind and loving dear sister in Christ, dedicated and encouraging to others. She was very caring and helpful, we have been blessed by her kindness. A faithful servant of Christ that we have learnt a lot from. Knowing this farewell on the earth is temporary, Noel has a special place in our hearts forever. She will be greatly missed. Lots of love. ❤️
