Christmas Greetings 2018 December 24, 2018 bizadmin This year, Christmas is nostalgic for me. It is not really merry in that sense as dad has gone to be with the Lord on 17th December 2018, on a Monday morning at 5:00 am. We had mass and his wake for 5 days before his funeral on a Friday where many of his church parishioners came to pay their last respects in The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, where dad served as a photographer and lector for many years. His church friends came to sing the Marion songs during his wake, requesting for my dad, the late Albert Tan Cheng Ban, to be with Mother Mary and Jesus. Dad is now in a better place, but I will miss his jokes and gregarious character. Many described dad as a gentle soul, ever ready to lend a helping hand and words of encouragement. When you meet him, you will feel happy and he has a tendency to please people. Our neighbors, friends, and relatives came from the UK, KL, and Singapore to attend dad’s funeral. Well, he is no longer suffering now in a nursing home, but gone to be with the Lord with a mansion in heaven where Jesus has prepared a place for him. Anyway, Season’s greetings to you all!
