Dear Friends and Family,
During this tough time that we are facing, we received great amount of support and condolences from you.
Shandy is a brave girl and we are sure she had found her way to the Lord's arms. My dad dreamt of her last night. She told my dad she had no pains and she is happy at where she is right now.
We will be sending her to Mandai Crematorial on Tuesday at about 11.45am (leaving from Mt Vernon). Transport will be provided if you wish to accompany her.
Thankyou for the generous support.
Edmund and Family.

I came to know that Shandy's from TK Tech. Though i am very much her junior (2003 - 2006), her brave and optimistic character has truly inspired me to live life to the fullest.
You are truly a hero.

My condolences to your family!
Sandy was very brave thru out the whole ordeal!
Dear Edmund...I am your neighbour writing this . My name is Gowri. You know my kids..they know you too as the 'nice uncle' who smiles and says hello to them and your sister as the ' nice , beautiful aunty' who said ' bye bye ' to them each morning before she went to work when she was well. I visited your sister today . My mother and husband were with me. My mother in particular was rather affected by Shandy's passing. She used to see her each morning while waiting for the school van to pick up my son . She remembers her as a lovely, friendly , warm person who always greeted her before driving off to work. I feel a sense of regret that i did not know your sister even though I am your neighbour for the past year. I guess with her busy work schedule and long hours which are similar to mine meant that we never quite ran into each other. I wish I had. I saw Shandy during Sept /Oct 08 one day while I was driving out. She was really thin and could barely walk. I remember asking myself if i should just walk over to your house and touch base with her. After all, we were neighbours. I was not sure if this intrusion would have made things worse when privacy and solace with family members would have been what your family desired during this difficult period. I wish I had . It is with deepest regret that i am writing this entry. My sincere condolences to you and your family . I know Shandy is in a betterplace with God and is no longer in pain. I know that in her next life , she will experience everything that life has to offer , from having wonderful parents and siblings, meeting a wonderful partner, experiencing the joy and fulfilment of being a mother, having children and yes, growing old with them.For all the sufffering and pain she endured in this life, God will ensure that there is something neautiful waiting for her on the other side.From Aunty,Uncle, myself, my hubby and my 2 children.
My very condolences to you and your family.
I came across this blog by accident.
your sister was indeed a very brave girl.
I sure cannot say I "enjoyed" reading the blogs though there is a sense of humor and upbeat in them. They are very eye-opening.
They were so frank also !
It was very very touching.
I am very very sorry for you and your family.
I hope that your father's dream brings you somewhat a bit of comfort. That the soul lives on and that at last your sister is at peace.
I think the blogs will be helping many people who read them to give up their bad habits (I am a smoker)when being more aware of what your sister went through.
Once again my deep condolences.
I will be thinking of you and your family and your sister today although I do not know you.
From somebody far across the globe.
My condolences to n your family, edmund. Shandy is a brave girl, so are you and your family. Be strong, and you all should continue to live n fulfil her dreams as if she was still alive.
Take care

Dear Edmund and family,
Our hearts are with you during this time but hope it may bring some comfort to you to know that Shandy and her blog has touched many hearts deeply. I feel truly humbled by the love and optimism she has in her and I believe she's in a better place now, safe in the arms of our loving God. May His love and strength be with you and your family during this time... take good care.
Hi Edmund,
My condolences to you and your family.
Shandy and myself are acquaintance, known each other in UK. It been a long time since we last met. I said "acquaintance" as I am too ashamed to call myself as her friend, as being friend should know all these that she is facing much earlier then now... I'm not fit to be a her friend. I do hope she will forgive me.
I got this piece of news from the paper (obituary section), It not a section that I would normally look at, just happen that someone brought my attention to her obituary. I would say it is not a very good section to find news of your friend in there.... That feeling sucks...
After some Google-ing, brought me to this blog. As I believe that with Shandy character, she will likely left her friends some memories somewhere...
If fact, google show more then just this site. There are quite a few blog out there had her story in their blogs... Can see that she had touched the hearts of many people, some which never even know her.
Reading thru the blog, can see that she is a brave and strong gal. It not easy go thru all these. I can imagine that.
We don't share the same religious, but in my own form of prayer, I would still pray for her. It too late to pray for her recovery, but I am now praying that she is now living happily in a paradise that is made for her. Not a moments of sadness,loneliness, pains & suffers, as she is filling up prayers, wishes and blessing from all who cared for her in her paradise. It will be so heart warming.... As everyone is still with her and she is still in everyone heart.
I am just bookmarked this blog, I hope to see it become active with more entries and comments. As it will be just another channel for us to sent her our thoughts and wishes. Bring in more life and happiness, share more photos of our happy Shandy from friends and family.
After writing all these, lead me to think that we should always keep in contact with our friends and family, no point waiting for tomorrow as there might not be any chances.
jiayou!
Hi Edmund, being a mother of 2, with a sibling myself, I cannot imagine the pain you and your mother are going through. But, I believe you will be strong, and live on well. Please keep updating the blog, even if it's just about you and your life. I believe your sister would have wanted it this way.
Hi "ME",
thanks for the condolences.
Shandy made many friends and in our hectic lifestyle there will be bound to lose contact with some friends. No one is to be blamed.
I am very glad that Shandy had a friend like you who is very open and honest in your comments. That is the basis of being a friend.
thanks.
Edmund
Hi neighbour Gowri,
I am so happy that you came to my sister's wake. I grew up in a neighbourhood where the community was very close. After everyone moved out due to relocation, I thought I had lost the neighbourly feel.
When my mom told me that our neighbours came by after reading the newspapers, I was very encouraged. I was very warmed by your gesture to visit us and gave us support.
Thank you so much~~~~
My condolences to your family. We will always remember Shandy as the cheerful girl in Surrey University. May she rest in the God hands and bless her soul.
My condolences to your family.I understand the pain you and your family going through coz I do lost my aunty on the same day due to breast cancer. I came to know abt her blog after reading the new paper today and I am proud of her and Sandy was indeed brave thru out her ordeal.
