Death Strikes Anytime







It was about 2.30pm on 8/5/09 when my phone rang. On the line was the son of brother Cheng Huat---- Cheng Zhi Yong. This is a rare call, more so from the Cheng family. When I was told that the father had suddenly passed away to be with the Lord I was shocked.
Cheng Huat was a strong healthy adult of 55 years old. He was a construction worker. Full og muscles and not much of fatty tissue ike some of us. No complain of any illness.
He died during the lunch break in his working site. Died of sudden heart attack. Oh it was shocking to all.
I began comforting the son and directing him what to do and how to go about the matter. had even the undertaker to coach and guide him through the police reporting procedure. I began to organise with Cheng Huat's brother on the detail preparing for evening memorial services and make plan for funeral on Sunday 10/5.
Death strikes anytime without prior warning. Are ready to meet the Lord? Is our life bearing fruit for the Lord? God bless and comfort the family.
