"A Death in the Family" that's a Batman and Robin story line in the comics. It was about the death of Robin. This year Christmas wasn't a really happy occasion, besides all the festivities going on word came through that my cousin passed away on Christmas Day. We used to play together me, my sis, her and her brother. Age gap among the 4 of us was only 7 years so it was easy to get along, during school holiday's they would come over or we would go stay with them for a couple of days. Those were the fun days, no worries in the world, kids will be kids. Although she was not the youngest (my sis was youngest) she was still known as Mei Mei to all of us. She's survived by her husband and 2 kids. A short memorial service was held yesterday and the funeral was held today. I happen to be reading a copy of Reader's Digest today and there was a quote in there which said - 'you can't spell funeral without fun' - something to ponder over. Elaine Long Yoke Peng has been called home to the Lord, she was 34, may she rest in everlasting peace.
" For the Lord so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16

Sorry to hear of your loss. Deepest condolences to you and your family as you mourn the loss of your Mei Mei. I was a classmate of Yoke Peng for 4 years in KC. I live overseas and only heard of her passing yesterday from a fellow classmate. I was shocked and sad to hear the news even though I wasn't particularly close to her when we were in secondary school.
I did bump into her aboard a UA flight a few years ago... she asked if I remembered her, and of course, remembered a classmate of 4years. She gave me a brief update on her life and told me she was a mother of 2. That was the last time I saw her.
May she rest in peace.
Thanks, the really sad thing was her parents and brother have migrated to Australia and due to the festive season they could not get a flight back in time and her funeral was attended by Aunts aand Uncles and Cousins. Rather long story.
I am surprised to find this post after trying to search if there's anything on Elaine online. It still saddened me when we talk about her. I'm one of her close friends. May I know which side of her family do uou belong to?
Cousin, her father was my uncle.
So her father is aware. Did he come back so far? I feel so sad for her cos none of her immediate family was here till now.
