RIP Ms Evelyn Teo

[RonRon]

The New Paper
By Rennie Whang
SINGAPORE - She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and doctors gave her only months to live.

Three times she proved them wrong, tackling the disease head-on with a grace that proved inspirational to everyone around her, including her three young daughters.

On Thursday morning, five years after she was first diagnosed, Ms Evelyn Teo Swee Lin's battle with the disease finally ended.


The 39-year-old died in Assissi Hospice, with husband Alan Yong and daughters Sarah, 12, Nicole, 10, and Vera, seven, by her side.

On Friday, at her wake at Eastwood Terrace, Mr Yong, 41, told The New Paper how his wife's blog (evelynfeels.blogspot.com) had inspired many.

Readers would comment that they were touched by her strength and faith, and that they learnt to cherish what they had in life.

The regional IT director for a UK company said: "They became her close personal friends. Some were cancer patients too, and she would visit them."

Ambassador

Ms Teo, an ex-IT project manager, spoke openly about her illness through her blog, as a presenter with the Catholic marriage enrichment programme and as an ambassador of a National Healthcare Group (NHG) health awareness campaign.

Even while she was touching other people's lives, Ms Teo didn't forget about her loved ones.

Mr Yong spoke fondly about how he and his wife started writing love notes to each other in 2008, when they joined the Catholic programme Marriage Encounter.

RIP. Heard about her on radio. There was an interview done with her & her husband. And the radio DJ who interviewed her could not control themselves and broke down after hearing speaking of how she prepare her family and friends about her death.

Sad .....3 young daughters, wonder how much they understand.

More and more young people are dying from cancer. Was it from the food we ate? I love BBQ food but had to force myself to cut down.

hi there


1. bro, me too!

Just another retard who think she is going to see her maker when she dies. She should rejoice since her God loved her so much that her God gave her cancer to join him in who-knows-where. Her family must also rejoice to the fact that she has been chosen by her God to join him/her/it at the expense of her family cos her God loved her. LOL!

Agree. Even if you are those elite cab drivers that draw 6k a month it's still not enough to raise kids properly
