According to Shin Min Daily News, 38 y.o Evelyn Hoi recently passed on after fighting against for a few months against stage 4 lung cancer.
Her husband, Royston Lim, 41 told reporters from Shin Min Daily News that Hoi first started experiencing chest pains in June, and was subsequently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
This was despite the fact that Hoi was never a drinker or a smoker, and had led a ‘fairly regular life’.
Even though she received treatment, her condition worsened quite quickly.
Hoi then planned her own funeral in accordance to her wishes and her likings about 10 days before she passed on.
Hoi’s sister also spoked to Shin Min reporters and told them that Hoi has always been someone who was generous, enjoys giving and seeing others happy.
Thus she planned her own funeral to be a happy occasion instead.
This included giving out gummy bear candies to attendees of her wake and 200 TOTO tickets to bring them good luck.
The wake was also decorated with Hoi’s favourites in life, such as Bubble tea.
On top of planning for the funeral wake itself, Hoi had also planned to give out her branded bags and possessions to her family and friends to be kept as a memento of her.
Hoi had also handwritten letters to her immediate family members and her husband about six hours before her death despite suffering from pain.
She requested everyone to only read the letters after she had passed on.
Lim added that marrying Hoi has been the luckiest thing that could ever happen to him and that Hoi’s positivity even at her darkest hour also impressed the medical staff who were looking after her.
He also shared that Hoi loved to travel and her only regret in life was not being able to travel to countries like Thailand and Europe due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
