May mum rest in peace. Resting is exactly what we pray for, reason is that, this generation that is fast passing the button to us worked so hard, am not sure we are working as hard. The generation of our parents is slowly fading away leaving us their children, basically between 50-70, to take the front line, not just in responsibilities but also in departing. It’s a wake up call to us. Luckily, we have substantively rich legacies to keep us going. As we celebrate these horoes and heroines, let us work even harder to pass on more solid legacies to our younger generations. This is the biggest desire for those who are now dancing with the angels.
