Le Wan Yeoh Our mother’s loving kindness has deeply impacted many. Her sacrificial love and humility are her enduring legacy. As Queen Elizabeth II famously said “Grief is the price we pay for love.” So, our grief is well worth the price because of our mother’s generous love. Mum, you are a precious gift from God, full of patience, endurance and grace. You will forever be in my heart. I am going to miss you so much. Praise God that you are now safely home with your Lord and Saviour. From your loving daughter, Le Wan

Beng Yeoh With family when we were all young …

Kim Poy My Poh Poh was always smiling, always serving, always selfless. Her deep love for her family was evident in all that she did. Every visit to Ipoh, she was always making sure that we had enough to eat and drink. While we couldn’t communicate much due to my very limited Chinese, I never doubted her love, warmth and care for me. I have fond memories of Poh Poh visiting and staying with our family in Melbourne while I was very young. She would join us for church when she visited Melbourne, which is where she accepted Jesus’ forgiveness and committed her life to following Him. When we lived in Singapore, I remember she would sometimes sleep in my room on the spare bed when she visited and we would pray to God before we slept - I would pray in English and she would pray in Cantonese! Many of us witnessed and benefitted from the fruit of the Spirit she displayed in her life - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and faithfulness. I will remember her as a cheerful, generous, patient, humble and servant-hearted grandmother. I thank God for blessing Poh Poh with a large loving family and many years of life. I praise God that we will meet again. We love you Poh Poh. ❤️🌷

Kai Mun Hong Hard to procure pictures of memories dating more than 20 years back in Ipoh, Perak where we regularly visited mama. Her unconditional love and humbleness have touched many people in many different ways. My personal favourite is how mama will always buy CCF every Saturday morning, without fail and knowing this we were never afraid of not having food, instead we were afraid of that extra packet she buys that someone has to finish! For those who know mama personally will agree that she is as playful as they come when you have conversations with her. I will miss the banters we have between Kai Xun, myself and mama. RIP

Xiang Wen Hong I was the first grandchild , so my popo (grandma) naturally doted on me, pampered me, over-fed me (a lot) and loved me so much, I was so blessed to have a popo like her. I lived with her when I was a baby and toddler in Ipoh for some time , and I remember clinging onto her leg every time she went out , crying for her not to go. That was how attached I was 😅. She always cooked so much food (I loved her curry with home made curry powder with every chilli cleaned and dried by hand ), always went out of her way to give her best to all, and had the sweetest dimpled smile. She also knew how to have fun, here are some photos of me visiting Ipoh in 2007 with my then boyfriend now husband Fred (she calls him Fat). She is teaching him how to play mahjong :) Thank you Popo for loving me, bringing me up and for your big heart that has touched us all. May you rest in peace, and be reunited with Kung Kung in heaven.

Beng Yeoh With the love of her life.

Han Yeoh I have very fond memories of Poh Poh's house in Ipoh and it was great bringing Angie to Malaysia to meet Poh Poh.

Angie Y We were so blessed to have such a great PoPo. She was so kind and welcoming of me into the family. Every time we went back to KL to visit her she was always so happy to see us, which made us happy to. Her smile was infectious. But most importantly, she walked with the Lord. And now she is in glory, where we will see her again. "Well done, good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:21

Kim Poy Here is a photo of Poh Poh with my first child Ariana. You can see Poh Poh’s vibrant smile, genuine warmth and loving arms. She was such a special grandmother to all her nine grandchildren and also her many great grandchildren!

Soon Yean Hong Mum, everyone who loves you will miss your presence greatly. We can only take comfort that you are now in a much better place. The Bible says that when we are home with the Lord, there are no more tears, sicknesses or pain. So Mum, Rest In Peace.

Beng Yeoh Celebrating 85 glorious years!

Xiang Wen Hong Visiting Popo in KL. So glad my kids could meet her. My son is scratching her back hahaha. She always had a voracious appetite and I was amazed that she could eat so much ! It’s easy with all the good food in Malaysia. Thank you Kheong Sook and Sook Mei Carole for looking after her all these years ❤️

Xiang Wen Hong Writing this message on behalf of my mum Poh Fah: “She is more than a mother-in-law to me. I spent more time with her than my own mother, in my adult years. I think that says it all. ❤️”

Kai Jun Hong This was from one of my final meetings with PoPo. A childhood memory that has resurfaced in recent days - my father's car broke down and the whole family (and neighborhood) pushed it out the house and down the street. I was upset at being left behind, but grandma stayed behind to comfort me. I will recall her as a warm, caring, and witty woman who doted on her grandchildren. May she rest in peace.

Jason Hong I have many memories of Poh Poh, most food related. But this was the last time that I saw Poh Poh. I brought her roast duck (which she ate happily) and gave her a hong bao (which she was very happy to receive). Although she took some time to recognise me, her wit and humour still came through. Calling me"fei zai muk" and asking me when I was getting married incessantly really made my day. I will miss my Poh Poh, but I'm also glad that I got to know her the way I did.

Beng Yeoh

Cheong Chew I've fond memories of KumMoh, going back to when we were kids - - visiting Ipoh & staying at the Gopeng Road House during several end of the year school holidays. And more recently seeing her at Yean's during Chinese New Year on the occasions when she came to celebrate here in S'pore. KumMoh always had kind words for everyone. We will always remember her infectious smile and laughter. Love, Bee Kheng & Cheong.

Beng Yeoh Always smiling … and pointing.

Beng Yeoh Mother (in-law), you have been such a blessing to Le Wan and me, and to our growing family. We thank God for your life, your selfless service of others, always ready to help with a sincere love of your family. We miss you very much now, but are thankful that you are now in God’s promises, securely home with your Lord and Saviour. Goodbye for the moment, till we meet again in eternity… Beng (your son-in-law).

Yu Ming Teen My deepest condolences to my cousins, the Hong siblings. Yee Ma was one of the kindest and most generous persons I’ve ever known. She had unlimited capacity and reservoir for love and nurture. She took Gary and me under her protective wings during the most difficult time of our growing up years and provided a safe, loving and stable environment for both of us. She was much more than an aunt, she was our second mother. Yee Ma will forever be part of me and a beacon of hope, kindness and nurture.

Winnie Leong This photo of the four lovely Lai sisters, my mother Sook Cheng, aunty Wai, aunty San, aunty Yee Lin and uncle Lung Choong reminds us of the love the Lai siblings have for each other. Wai Yee was a special aunty in our family. She gave us such fond memories throughout our childhood years. Even as we grew up, she was always part of our lives. We are very grateful for that and the memory of Wai Yee will always remain in our hearts.

Le Wan Yeoh A TRIBUTE to OUR MOTHER Thinking about mother today makes us overflow with sadness seasoned with joy. SADNESS because we miss her terribly. We can’t imagine the years ahead without her. Family is the heart of her life. She always longed to see more of her family, especially her daughters living far away in Vancouver and Sydney. The pandemic kept us apart —it was challenging for everyone. But we kept in touch by calling her often. We are sad because we miss her joyful smile, her persistent concern for our wellbeing, 24 hours a day, her persevering grace, and much more … BUT OUR SADNESS IS SEASONED WITH JOY because we have been blessed with a most wonderful mother and grandmother. When our children were little, she travelled by herself to visit Le Lian in Canada and Le Wan in Australia to give a helping hand. Our children grew up experiencing her generous love. Not only was she devoted to her children but to many others, she was a loving aunt, a supportive sister, a caring daughter and daughter-in-law, a helpful friend. She built many meaningful relationships—more than she ever knows. And because of that we enjoy a close bond with many aunties, uncles and cousins. It has been a joy and a delight to have mother in our lives. We have also much joy knowing she came to faith in Jesus over 3 decades ago. Because of that she is assured of a place in heaven — with her Lord and Saviour — and her beloved husband (our father) who went ahead of her. In the Bible, Proverbs 31:10 asks the question: “An excellent wife who can find?” Our father did! Mother is the rarest of women. She was that excellent wife, incomparably loyal and devoted to her husband. She was also a good cook. Unfortunately, we her daughters did not inherit much of that skill but her daughters-in-laws are capable cooks. To our brothers, Yean and Kheong, thank you for standing in the gap for us in the care of mother. We have so much respect and love for you and also for Poh Fah and Carole. Mother, thank you for everything. Your sacrificial love and humility are your enduring legacy. We will miss you very much, but you remain close to our hearts. For even in the midst of sorrow, our hearts rejoice in the glorious hope of heaven. From your loving daughters, Le Lian & Le Wan (Photo: On the plane with mother on 3 Jan 2017 to visit Yean, Fah & family. It was her final trip to Singapore).
