My Condolences Keith. I did not know of your mum's passing. I have been living in Malaysia since 2018. I last spoke to her sometime last year and was calling her today to wish her Happy Teachers' Day when I could not get through. I feared the worst. Your mum was the best teacher I ever had. She supported me in my ups and in my downs. I am sure you will miss her because she is such a warm, caring all round nice and good person. Take comfort that on the day of the Resurrection we will all be reunited again.

Mrs Low, I know your struggles. Despite your flagging health, you chose to write a Cookbook setting out your favourite recipes. And CJC was never far from your heart; you launched your book at its atrium even though you had by then finished your teaching stint as our Vice Principal. You graced our last class gathering. Since then, we never had the chance to meet again. However, you have inspired me with your enthusiasm and kindness and your Geography lessons have remained in my mind. I carry them with me whenever I travel. .If I did not do law, I would have been a geologist or an anthropologist, combining my love for History too. Thank you Mrs Low. You have been loved and will be missed. You are my inspiration and part of my life. May you find peace and comfort in God's heavenly kingdom!

Dear Keith, my sincere condolences to you. Will always remember your mum for her passion and dedication to her family, to education and her students, her cooking and of course her kind hospitality whenever i stayed over at your place as a young student in Singapore. Sorry we cannot be there for the funeral but our thoughts are with you. Sincerely, Henry Leong & family

Meng, I will cherish the times we spent growing up together since 1957. The wonderful times which we spent in your parent’s home and the times spent in both your homes and mine since then. The Lord will take care of you and take you safely home. Until we meet again, Kiang.

Condolences, Keith. Your mom was so kind to us. Peace to you and your family. - josh lye class of 93

My deepest condolences to the family of Mrs Low ... she was my class mentor in 1985 and later my VP when I was a young teacher at CJC. She was motherly and kind and I am grateful for all her guidance and care. Jasmine Tan

The class of Assunta 72 would like to express our deepest condolences to Tai Lee on the loss of her beloved sister, Meng. Lee, your loss feels like our loss as you've always been the best sister Class of 72 can ask for. May Meng rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to Tai Lee and family on the sad loss of her beloved sister, Meng who's shown me (when I visited Singapore) how inclusive, generous, warm hearted and kind she can be to a sister's school mate she's meeting for the first time. Truly a grand, fine lady deserving of admiration for her ways.

Deepest condolences to the family of Mrs Low. She always brought joy to the kids in the Laguna park playground with her endless supply of treats and with her laughter when they sing. Thank you, and we pray for you. - Brie, Lila & Miguel R.

I regret not knowing you well enough when I was schooling in CJC. These touching tributes shared by my fellow CJC comrades helped inspire me to want to walk in your ways. Thank you for being an inspiration for all of us to be better versions of ourselves.

Rear in Peace, Mrs Lau

Dear Mrs Low, you are an inspiration to me. You encouraged me at one of the lowest point of my life and told me not to give up! I was lousy in maths but I remembered your words of hope and encouragement “ failure in a subject does not mean you will not do well in that subject later“. I remember these words whenever the going gets tough during my NUS days, I worked hard and obtained a 2nd Upper Class Honours. I appreciate everything you did for me, please Rest In Peace as you return to our Heavenly Home.

Mrs Low was the VP of CJC during my school days. Together with Sr Deidre, they made me comfortable studying in CJC. I remember Mrs Low as a kind person, ready to help. My sincere condolences to the family. May her soul rest in peace.

I was kinda the good/bad borderline student back in JC; constantly on the grey areas of school rules. Remembered once I was sent to Principal Office for a not too serious but also not too minor offence. Mrs. Lau patiently counselled me instead of welding the hard stick. Really appreciated it then! Andy Tan CJC 93/94

MENG…

I only met Meng in person once in Kuala Lumpur…through a Liu Family event, and since I heard that Meng was a Methodist…and I myself as a believer in Jesus Christ, but not a Methodist, I wanted to know more of what Meng would have known and believed…that Salvation from God is initiated when one chooses to respond to God, who draws the individual to God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who died for their sins.

1. A person is free not only to reject salvation but also to accept it by an act of free will.

2. All people who are obedient to the gospel according to the measure of knowledge given them will be saved.

3. The Holy Spirit assures a Christian that they are justified by faith in Jesus.

For Methodists, "true faith...cannot subsist without works" and Methodism teaches that "justification is made conditional on obedience and progress in sanctification", emphasizing "a deep reliance upon Christ not only in coming to faith, but in remaining in the faith".

John Wesley taught that the keeping of the moral law contained in the Ten Commandments, as well as engaging in the works of piety and the works of mercy, were "indispensable.

After reading many of the comments on this section, offered by family, peers, friends and former students, I concluded that Meng was truly a woman who loved her Son Keith, and her somewhat eccentric siblings. She faithfully served her Singapore community, and mentored untold numbers of persons through life…in work, in family stewardship…and education.

Someone said…”it is not how you start…but how you end, that matters!”

“How we end?” No, I don’t mean money, status, power or perfect health…but how we end in OUR PERSONAL relationship with God, His Son, and how we dealt with our last days with composure, grace and Love.

My heartfelt condolences to Keith, to the Liu Family Siblings, to the extended family, nephews and Nieces and friends. May Meng’s life of love, generosity…and faith…be an inspiration to you all.

With tears brimming in my eyes as I wrote this thank you note, I am grateful for your compassion and kindness when you and my Chinese teacher came and visited my mom's funeral at the HDB void deck, checking in to see if I was alright and gave me a big, comforting motherly hug. It left such a deep impact on me. You may not remember who I was but I am one of those you will meet as we catch up in the glorious heavens praising God, coming towards you with an embrace and say "Thank you, faithful servant, of our Lord Jesus, come in and eat with us!" - Quah Hui Sze CJC 1996/97 class of 1S5/2S5

There're so many fond and treasured memories of you being there for me, being my crying shoulder, and a saviour to my many shortcomings. My first interaction with you was when you stood up for me in JC1 (1992) when I was kicked out of the classroom for something really trivial. From that fateful day, there have been countless times when you were the motherly figure to me. A guardian angel who made sure I made the right choices in life. You never relented offering help and your wise guidance through the years. You gave me a job as a relief teacher on the very day I was laid off. You helped me apply to UK universities with a superb testimonial. We became friends and I enjoyed the makan sessions with you. They say teaching is rewarding. You made it rewarding for the student - me - as well... because you taught me about life and I learned a lot from you. I appreciate you and there are so many things to thank you for. I will miss you, Mrs Low and I'm very honored to have had you as a teacher, a mentor and a friend. Rest in Peace. Please cook a sumptuous buffet spread for Jesus and the Saints. - Chen Munn CJC 18th SC

Thank you, Mrs Low, you always had a ready smile for everyone.

Rest in peace, Mrs Low. May your soul be divinely protected and guided to the light!

Mrs Low was one of the kindest and most motherly human I have ever worked with. She blessed us all with her generosity and loving care. she will be dearly missed. Eternal Rest grant unto her O Lord And let your perpetual light be with her!

You have been a pillar of strength for us, you stood by us when things were rough and you believed in us when others wouldn't...

You were there for me when I went through the toughest time for a 17 year old, and I'd always be grateful for that. You've been a Godsend and you've touched so many of our lives.

Thank you for being you.

Kelvin Ng, CJC 19th SC

In loving memory of Mrs Low Siew Nghee:

You will be dearly missed by all whom you have touched, my dearest teacher. Your benevolence and love for us is a reflection of your kind and selfless nature. Thank you for all your splendid and generous sharings and get togethers which you had so wonderfully organised; even after we left school some 46 over years and more. You truly had a heart of gold and we were so blessed to have met you. I remembered my days in school where you cared for us, more than any other teachers. Knowing that I came from a poor family, you and your late hubby even brought me out several times for dinner. Even when I was interested in one of my schoolmates, you tried to pair us together. You were such a sweet and caring lady indeed.You were not only a dedicated teacher but also an excellent friend to us all.

Keith, your daughter-in- law and loved ones will be proud to know that you were a very special and an extraordinary person indeed. I admire your love and dedication to your late husband too. I am sure you are now with him and the good Lord for you too deserve the special place in heaven. My late wife, Julie, will be welcoming you there. God bless and farewell my dearest teacher. Till we meet again, thank you for the wonderful and enriching times we had. You will be sorely missed and thank you for the lovely poem on the lucky clover.

Your generosity knew no boundaries as you gave of yourself with great dedication to the school and to her students.

I remember the trouble you took to help out at the Carnivals even though we could see how tired you were; yet relentless was your spirit and you always managed a smile and a cheerful word to spur us on.

Rest in peace Mrs Low, and may the Good Lord be merciful and kind as you have been, and care for you with love and tenderness.

Deeply appreciative that you came into my life during my CJ days. Without your guidance, I probably wouldn‘t be the person I am today. You will be sorely missed and thank you for everything.
