The Matriarch Tribute

My family's matriarch passed away yesterday at around 4.30pm. She was a 103 years young.

According to my youngest aunt, she's the most respected & loved member of the family. The reason for that is because back then, during the conquer of Japan, she smuggled food & other necessities to other family members who were hiding in the forests as refugees. She truly risked her life doing so cus the act of helpig the refugees was a serious crime.

She will be missed.

In Loving Memory..

The following photos were taken in December last year. It was a few weeks after she returned from the hospital, where she was sent to after being diagnosed with pneumonia.
