from Mrs Tan Guat Kim, friend and former teacher, Ipoh MGS

I am very sad that Miss Ho died so suddenly . She  was a very good Principal and I learned a lot from her . When she came to Singapore for a holiday , she would contact me and in her last visit we spent time together in my house . We played the organ  and sang songs and hymns after our lunch . We enjoyed ourselves very much and we said that we would do the same thing in her next visit . Sad to say , that was the last meeting I had with her  because we would never meet again .

 She was a very kind , efficient , caring  and humble person . I used to communicate with her by using the computer but later , she had trouble with the computer and so we contacted less often . But occasionally , I phoned her  and I am glad I had the opportunity to talk to her  just before she passed away . She could remember me and then the nurse  who held the phone for her told me that Miss Ho was too weak to talk.

Thus we had to end the phone call. But I sent her a letter after that and I was told  by Aileen that she did  receive my letter before she  had the heart attack . I am very happy that she did read my letter .
I know Miss Ho is in a better place now  !
Regards


Tan Guat Kim
