Bye Bye Lau Chew Ma (1911-2007) : Part II

I should have put this up a month ago. Procrastination is my middle name.

Here are some pictures, of Lau Chew Ma, which i thought is so beautiful, it'll be a waste to only hog it for myself.
Through these pictures, i realised that regardless of age, you can be INSPIRING.

Her favourite is Psalms 23, The Lord is my Shepherd.

"Huo Tau Lau, Xue Tau Lau"

The Lord, is truly her shepherd. Till her end days.
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil;for You are with me;

Picture taken by a youth who visits her often at the old folks home. As the pastor prays, she finds comfort in her Lord.
