Dear Pam, Rachel and Sid
Pam your mom Jean was a wondersful and warm person, always a smile for everyone. I remember her as a wonderful ccok and an even better at baking Chinese New Year cookies which we enjoy on every CNY day. How time flies!! Yes I was told she was your grandfather's favorite daughter.
She is safe now with our Lord, no more human sufferings and pain. 
From age of 7, I do remember her smile and always have time for even stupid cousin like me.
She is now with all our departed and have a great time and partying in heaven.

with fondest memories lily

Auntie Jin will be greatly missed. I still remember the days we would go for a meal when she was living at hennepen. Her food was so delicious! I always looked forward to her meals. And although she left us in the physical world I believe she is up in heaven with the rest of the family. She will be forever remembered and loved and am sure is having quite the feast with my mother up above. Till we meet again. Lots of love from all of us down here.

I will always cherish Auntie Jin's warm and hospitality, especially allowing my sister and I to visit the "47 Hilton" almost every Saturday afternoon while we were younger.
Now that we have children of our own, and our kids have their friends over, I am beginning to appreciate the full extent and depth of Auntie Jin's open heartedness, generosity and warmth. 
We definitely felt a void in Singapore when the Chengs moved to Vancouver, especially as we missed Auntie Jin's lavish pohpiah dinners!
Now she is with Uncle Billie in a better place, and I can imagine her helping to prepare a feast that we can all look forward enjoy one day.

We wonder what happened that night
You didn't let us say our final goodbyes
We miss you so much more than words can describe 
How beautiful your face was that night

Your spirit was free and the Lord reached out
He held your hand and walked you out
Please tell him we are so grateful for you
We hope we did our job well

We wonder what happened that night
You slipped away quietly with Jesus that night
We woke up and found you and started to cry
There were no words to describe such a sight 

You were the light that shone through us all
You were brave and honest you went through it all
Be still and remember you'll see us again
Your spirit is free go in peace my friend

We wonder what happened that night
You slipped away quietly with Jesus that night
We woke up and found you and started to cry
You didn't let us say our final goodbyes

I could feel the chills run through our spines
We watched you go out of our blessed lives
The gates of heaven were opened so wide
He welcomed you home with a smile so bright

Sometimes we wonder what happened that night
Theres a wreath on your door that shines so bright
God gives God takes Gods name be blessed
We thank God for you as we bow and fold our hands

I had the privilege of taking care of Auntie during her last precious years in California. We went for daily walks, coffee at Philzs, shopping at Stanford to smell the roses, but her favourite place was afternoon tea at my house in the garden, she loved watching the hummingbirds! Every Sunday we also took her to church at ALCF and she enjoyed singing and listening to the choir !

Auntie has a special place in my heart and I miss her so very very much but I know she is now in a place of rest and peace, no longer in pain but with our precious Father.

Thank for sharing her with me, I 
can still hear her cute little giggle.
I look forward to being with her in heaven
Upholding you all in pray  during this time
Love and hugs 
Adah
P.S Sorry I am unable to come as I'm presently in a London with my family

We will always remember Auntie Jin Neo as a gracious and humble Lady of Leisure. We are glad that we had many happy meals with her,Pam,Sid & Rachel during the last little while. We admired her most for her excellent cooking skills and how we enjoyed the fantastic food that she cooked for us.
Pam, Sid & Rachel, we share your sadness for the loss of such a precious lady and be comforted that she is now in a much better place with Jesus.

We remember Jean as a loving, generous,cheerful and helpful person who was a marvelous cook.Our family loved going to her house in Binjai Park to chat and indulge in her delicious food. 
May she rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus.

Dear Pam, deepest condolences, from me and my family, on your mum's passing. May you find solace in the knowledge that she was happy living with you, Sid and Rachel, and found much joy in the furkids (Sophie, Bravo) who visited. Auntie Jean remains a cheerful & vivacious aunt in my memory, and a very good cook. Be consoled also in knowing that she is now reunited with loved ones who went to Jesus before her. May Christ comfort you and Wesley and your families in this time of loss.

A wonderful sister-in-law who welcomed me to Vancouver in 1988 and gave me many tasty meals.  She was a very good aunt to my children and had a good heart for one and all. May God bless her richly in heaven.

Dearest Auntie Jean,

Thank you for blessing our lives with your love, warmth, humour and cooking!

Our sadness in your passing is lessened somewhat by the knowledge that Uncle Billy, Auntie Choon, Papa, Kong Kong and Mak Mak must be so happy to have you with them in Heaven.

To Pam and Wes, Sid and Julie, Rachel, Josh and Melissa, may the knowledge that God is watching over all of you bring you comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Big big hugs from Nan/Neh-Neh, as Auntie Jean used to call me.

We are very sorry to hear of the loss of Aunty Jin. We will always remember her for her cheerfulness, and love for family and food! She always brought smiles on our faces whenever we saw her.

May the many happy memories and love that you shared with your mother comfort you in some way. Please accept our deepest sympathy on your loss. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Your smile and love will be missed by us who remain behind - however with the knowledge that you are now with Jesus and seeing him face to face gives us cheer while at the same time we still feel the sting of death. 
Good bye anti Jean for now

My dearest mother in law who I looked after for almost 24 years and it was a privilege.  Mop was more like a second mother and best friend.  Certainly not the stereotypical mother in law son in law relationship than what anyone would think of.  Her passing was oh too soon and our hearts are broken but she was a strong woman of faith and Jesus was her Lord and Saviour so we will see her again.  Everyone's best friend, auntie and pal.  Deeply committed to family.  In fact the glue that bound a large extended family together. That may be our biggest loss.  Just like Ruth & Boaz, her life may not seem famous by worldly standards but she had a tremendous impact with her family and in her life of service to God.
loved always and deeply.

Sid
