John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
Hao-e's paternal grandfather passed last evening. We got the call on the way to range practice, so we went back on the expressway and headed to NUH. All the uncles and aunties turned up, even most of the cousins were there, several of them I have not actually seen before. It appeared that grandfather didn't leave specific instructions for his funeral so there was some confusion and details needed to be sorted out. By the time we arrived back at my in-laws' place at 11pm the casket services were already setting up at the void deck.

This being the second death in our extended family this year, we sort of know what to expect. But, this side of the family is quite large, "of the old ways", and lastly there being no clear head of the family now, it's going to be tough to get a consensus among the siblings. Please let no big squabbles surface.
Grandfather was 91 years old and quite frail. Now that you've passed, there will be no more pain and suffering. May you find eternal peace in Heaven with the Lord. Amen.
