May You Rest in Peace

One afternoon, a lady from the company which has been sponsoring my education expenses called.

Lady: May I speak to Cassandra?
Me: Yes, speaking.
Lady: I'm calling from XXX company. Can you send us a copy of your recent exam result slip as we would like to issue the cheque for your upcoming semester fees.
Me: I've emailed it to Ms X.
Lady: Hmm...Can I know when did you do so?
Me: I think it was in early July.
Lady: Ermm...I'm sorry to inform you that Ms X has passed away last month. I'll be taking over your case from now.

Ms X has been liasing with me on my education fees for 2 years. I never knew that she got breast cancer until she added me on FB one day. Never did I expect that her illness is at a very serious stage. I only come to realise that when she has been taking leave just to be admitted into the hospital.

Thank you for everything.
May you rest in peace.
