Uncle Ronnie, thank you for all the love that you have showered upon my family. You were that selfless uncle, who, at the ring of your mobile, will speed down to any hospital in Singapore, to visit anyone, strangers or friends alike, to comfort, encourage, pray and minister to them. My dad was no exception. You were there daily for him in his two weeks of hospitalisation, initially cheering him with jokes, praying, keeping him company and cheering him on. Despite that short period, you have not only impacted his life but that of my mom, my siblings and my relatives. My siblings remembered you to this day and when I told them you had gone home to be with the Lord, their initial reaction was that of unbelief and shock as you were one of the most amazing person they had ever met and will probably ever meet. As a result of your selfless genuine love, care and concern for others, they have been touched by you and they were there on the first night of your wake to pay their respect and honour to you - Uncle Ronnie, the one man whose life baffles and amazes them, who spent his life caring for others, never put himself before others and would often go out of his way to reach those who were in need. Thank you Uncle Ronnie for being there for us and most of all for being that Christ-like example to my unsaved siblings.
We have always known you as humble as you always were; cheerful and always displaying an invigorating presence. You were often a counsellor when the times called for it and anyone regardless of age, sex, language or religion can come to you no matter what the reason or circumstance was and you will be there to comfort, to encourage and to love them.
We have all lost a friend, a brother, an uncle and a champion and we are gonna take some time to adjust to that. Above all, we love you Uncle Ronnie for what you represented – a determination to love, care, encourage, comfort spreading that joy and cheer and having a tremendous sense of service to the church, the community and at home.
We thank God for you and for your life that has achieved so much. Your extraordinary life has been an inspiration to us and to the many whose lives whom you have touched here and beyond. Your love is strong, they are timeless and yes they will endure. You will be one beacon of example for us and we are thankful to God today for a life that has achieved so much for His Kingdom.
We love you Uncle Ronnie and we will truly miss you.
Love,
Michelle Cheong & family
