With Deepest Sympathy

With affection and deep sympathy !

I was deeply saddened today when we learned from Lucia Hau (my cousin in Hong Kong) that you had lost your mother(my aunty) on Thursday 17 April 2008. Her gentle manner and unselfish love and kindness will always be remembered. Your memory will live in our hearts always and forever.

Another Tao family member passed away

I am deeply saddened by another death. I send my heartfelt condolences to the Tao family.

This morning, I received sms from Delfina Tao informing me of Obituaries appearing in The Straits Times Saturday ,September 29 2007 on Page S24 . that the obituaries might be one of my relative . Yes , they are our relatives . Tao Hai Sin is indeed my cousin .

Spoken to Tao Nan Wah's sister this morning and she told me that I must try to attend the wake of this Tao's family as there are not many Taos left . Tao Nam Wah's dad just passed away on less than 2 weeks ago of which there was a blog written on Thursday, September 20, 2007. Anyway a wreath is on the way to them .
