Please know that I am very sorry for the loss of Siang Hong Keep.
I did not know her but I know her daughter Jacy, who is absolutely wonderful. The written piece about Siang Hong Kee shows a woman of greatness and healthy, positive impact in her lifetime. Her photo shows a very beautiful, vibrant, loving woman. One I would have liked to have met.
You are in my prayers as you prepare for her celebration of life and as you move along now without her presence.
I’m deeply thankful that she is with the Lord and I rejoice with you in this regard and I mourn with you for your earthly loss.
Sincerely,
Carlie Wilcox
