Singapore 2016 (Nov) - Day 2 (Part 1)

Day 2 - Attending cousin Hoe's wake at HDB condo, Ang Mo Kio, Singapore. Cousin Hoe passed away at a Singapore hospital on Thursday morning 10th November 2016 after stricken with cancer since April 2016. I was not ready to say goodbye to cousin Hoe as he was only aged 62 and had a loving family ... Too sadden to hear of his sudden death when cousin Sung broke the news to me last Wednesday ! Though cousin Hoe has gone but never forgotten by all his family members & cousin brothers & sister in Singapore & Malaysia ! May his soul rest in peace .
