Tribute to Aunt Cecilia Lim Teck Hin

Her journey
Cecilia's Favourite hymn

From the first day that she know about her final stage lung cancer till the day our Lord Jesus call her home, there is not a single complain but only praises for the Lord.

Personally I do not know this aunt-in-law very well and we hardly have the opportunity to sit down and talk. The only time we see each other was either during CNY, Ah Poh birthday or some relative wedding (which include mine)

For God work in a mysterious way that allow me to have the honor to accompany her, together with my bro-in-law for her radiation in TTSH.

In the short 2 1/2 weeks, I thank God for letting me getting to know her more even though we do not have any common topic to share. Even with out any verbal communication, her action, her thoughtfulness, her thankfulness, her faith in God, her gentle smile, her comforting words, her trust, her love for the family, her forgiving heart and lots others, touches my soul more then anything else.

I can still remember that she used to talk about her favorite Apolo Chicken Masala, Beauty world 'zhar xian mian' and all the good food that she had tried and wanted us to enjoy it too.

She was so sweet that she even asked her church mate to pack the Apolo Chicken Masala for us to bring back home for dinner.

She always tell us to enjoy our dinner after we send her home from the radiation treatment, telling us that even thou that she can’t join us physically, her spirit will still always be with us.

She even looks forward to have a good meal together with my wife, my bro-in-law (knowing that my bro-in-law is a good cook) and myself after she recover from her illness…

Today is her Sea burial (14 Nov 2007) and I am really sad to see her leave but knowing that she is now happily with Lord Jesus, it really bring peace to my heart.

Her final resting place.
