A Tribute to My Mother-In-law, Barbara Jean Ham

My mother-in-law, Barbara Jean Ham went home to be with the Lord in early May this year. She was a wonderful person. She loved the Lord dearly. She was also nice and caring towards people. She was bubbly and cheerful.

For many years, she had to face much health challenges but that did not cause her faith to waver. She remained strong and faithful to the Lord. She persevered to love and serve the Lord wholeheartedly.

My parents-in-law were in Singapore about ten times over the years. We appreciated them for visiting us in Singapore. Making the trip here each time was not easy. Even as our families feel the pain of losing her, we know that one day we will meet her again. The place that we dwell in on this earth is only a temporal place. As we turn our eyes upon Jesus, He empowers us to press on till the very end.
