Yew Kam Chung 1933 - 2008

#1 Post by Anysia » Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:52 pm

It saddens me to announce that Yew Kam Chung, beloved father of Wing Chung aka Mayland and father in law to Sandra aka Anysia, has passed away today. He was feeling faint and his blood pressure plummeted. He was rushed to Fremantle Emergency. He died of internal bleeding caused by complications due to cancer at 12:43 p.m.

:(

That's terrible news. Please accept my deepest sympathy and tell Wing that we are all thinking of him and yourself at this painful time.

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Deepest sympathy to you and your family. Lost my dad about 2 years ago. He was the best man I have ever met. I'm sure Mayland feels the same.

My sincere condolences to you both Wing and Sandra, anyone who has lost a parent will know what a difficult time it is. You will be in my thoughts.

I also lost someone very dear to me last week, my Nan, so I appreciate what you are going through, keep your family and friends close, both to share your pain and share your memories.

regards

Very sorry to hear of your loss, Wing & Sandra. Both my folks are gone, so I empathise with you. Live your grief, then honour your Dad / Father in law by living as honestly and ethically as your capable, and remember he'll always love you both. Even death can't erase love!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Wing & Sandra...............

many condolences my friends, the way i was cared for by you both on my visit to the west last year must have been a reflection of the guidance you have had from your FATHER, i am very sorry to hear of the news when a man looses the greatest friend he could ever have had, his FATHER................

i know this from first hand experience, as you say Wing, ONE DAY AT A TIME, and as others have mentioned, he is now on his next venture and left you with many wonderful memories...

all the very best wishe sto you both, Wing & Sandra..

Steve.................

I just would like to again thank everyone for their condolences and sympathies. My late father was committed to the cremator's flames today in a simple and private ceremony, as was his wish. I know that he would want us to carry on, so the healing begins and life goes on.

Tell those around you that you care about that you love them because you never know what might happen. Thankfully, no regrets there.

I am going to raise a glass to my father tonight and celebrate his life and memory. Be happy and be at peace.

Happy shooting :)
