Dear friends, yesterday I had to go to Ipoh for a very close relative's funeral.
She was 82 years old, died of old age.
The beauty was she has 13 children, 88 grand children and 15 great grand children.
The house was filled with their own people. All the grand children crowding around her.
Truly she must have been a very blessed soul.
May her soul rest in peace.
Kugan.
