In tribute to our mum, Tan Pin Tjiang, a woman of remarkable strength and unwavering courage.
She fought a battle that spanned two decades, facing the debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease with a grace and resilience that was truly inspiring. Throughout it all, she never lost her spirit, her determination, or her love for life and her family.
Tan Pin Tjiang was a woman of great character and compassion. She had an unwavering commitment to her family and friends, and was always there to offer a listening ear, a comforting word, or a warm embrace. Her kindness touched the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark on those she encountered.
Her journey with Parkinson's disease was not an easy one, but she faced it with unyielding strength and an unwavering sense of purpose. She refused to let her condition define her, and continued to find joy in the simple things that life had to offer. Her resilience and determination were an inspiration to all who knew her.
As we honour Tan Pin Tjiang's life and legacy, we are reminded of the importance of cherishing every moment, of finding joy in the midst of adversity, and of the power of love to sustain us through life's most difficult challenges.
Though her passing has left an emptiness in our hearts, we take comfort in knowing that she is now at peace, free from the pain and suffering that plagued her for so long. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the memories of those she touched.
Rest in peace mum, Your strength, courage, and love will be remembered always.
