Paternal Grandpa passed away on 14th September 2010

My grandpa died on 14th September 2010. He was 85 years old.

He was survived by his wife, 10 children and their spouses, 24 grandchildren and their spouses, and 13 great-grandchildren (numbers might be a bit off as i could have missed out some... but it's there or thereabouts)

It has been a long time since the whole contingent of our family come together at the same place at the same time (Chinese New year, sure... but usually different timings, so sometimes we might missed meeting each other...).

And then there was the extended family members, my grandpa's siblings and their families, my grandma's sibliings and their families.

And then there was the extended family of grandpa's children's spouses' families.

And then there was the children and grandchildrens' friends and associates.

They have all came to pay their last respects to grandpa.

It was a sight to behold.

I thank everyone who came, and who came to help.

I pray for family harmony.
