Few months ago my mum's second sister passed away from cancer and I was blessed to see her during her last days. Yesterday, 23rd Sunday 2014 at 10.10 pm Malaysian time, Cancer took mum's youngest sister away from us too. I was in Holland when I received the news. Words are inadequate to express how one feels at times like these but I was relieved that she was finally at peace and no more in pain.
Though she never showed it but she was suffering in silence. She always put a strong front and helped others with council and in any way she could. She led a full life of helping others and right to the end she was still counceling and giving. Aunty Betty was a dedicated nurse and councillor...she touched many lives and was an inspiration to many.
Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they’ll live on in our hearts. They walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard but always near...still loved...still missed and very dear. Wherever they are....They will always be in our hearts. With sincere heartfelt sympathy...I wish my cousins and our family members the peace to bring them comfort, the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in their hearts.

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. - Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
