Wake Service - Friday

Three person stood up to share their experience with Raymond.


For Mrs Chua, Raymonds a helpful person. He wouldn't say no as long as he could help. Raymond was a thoughtful person. He occasionally sent her home after service on Sundays. He always gave her cookies that his mom made.

For Daniel See, Raymond was a brother who loved serving the Lord. Even while he was in Korea, he served. Raymond was a perfectionist. Whatever he does, he wants it done well. Raymond was a responsible and obedient son. He loved and cared for his family.

For Cassie, Raymond was a man after God's own heart. He sought the Lord consistently through Bible reading, songs and prayers. Even in their phone conversations, they would praise and worship God. Raymond's a prayer warrior. He insisted they prayed every night before they sleep and every morning after they woke up. Raymond trusted God.

Theme verse: It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to trust in man.
(Psalms 118:8)

Uncle Kian Boon spoke.

Raymond's life centered around Christ. Raymond was exemplary in speech, character and life. At home, he contributed to the family's welfare and looked after his younger siblings. At work, he was diligent, accountable and always eager to learn. In any relationships, he showed much love and care. In speech, he was always careful and decent. In faith, Raymond showed purity. He tries hard to be pure in heart.


Such was the life of Raymond. He could claim the words of Paul.

"For me to live is Christ, to die is gain"

Because to die means to be with Christ.

Let us be reminded that Raymond is indeed in a far better place, with his dear Lord.

Uncle Kian Boon ended by saying:

If Raymond is with us today, he'll say "I'm in a much better place."
