It is with a most heavy heart that I
bring news of our beloved Lilian Lau
who has left us to be home with her
Lord last night at 9:42 pm.
Lilian fought valiantly for 18
months against her illness. She had
been
diagnosed as having lung cancer,
already in an advanced stage.
Her incredible
strength and resolve kept her going
even though doctors had given her
only a few
months. The disease eventually
spread to her brain.
She won great affection and
admiration from all Toastmasters not
only from
District 51 which she served as
District Governor from 2001-2002,
but also
from our international family &
leaders. Her clarion call to "Create
Your Destiny"
inspired so many of us to set firm
tracks in our pursuit of excellence.
As a member of the Advisory Board
for District 80 this year, she was a
constant
source of encouragement and
assistance to our current Executive
Committee -
all this despite the great
discomfort of her progressively
debilitating illness.
Lilian will rest at Blk 187 Bishan
St 13 today (Sat 12 Nov) and
tomorrow. The
cortege will leave at 12:30 pm on
Monday 14 Nov for Mandai Crematorium
Hall 1 for the service at 1:30 pm.
No wreaths please. All donations
will be given to Toastmasters
International
Smedly Fund.
May
God's Blessings be upon everyone of
you. Take good care,
Warmest regards,
Khong Chooi Peng DTM
District 80 Governor
Serving Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand,
Singapore.
