To Dear Penkae. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your treasured husband, John. I found a lot of lovely photos of John in my KK album. If you'd like me to send them to you, I'd be very happy to do so.

I tried my best to log in to watch John's funeral today but because I only had a photo of the site on my mobile, I found it impossible to be able to watch the service. Please know that I am with you in spirit and thinking of you, beautiful Pen. Your loss is truly felt by all of us in Brisbane who knew and loved your John. He was one of the most cheerful men we've ever known.

God Bless you Penkae. Love Lila

Khun John is one of the first expats of the Mekong Institute — an inter-governmental Organization located in Thailand. He was such a kind supervisor of all staff especially ones with problems, he would explore and tried hard to give them solutions with love and care. He conducted a lot of quality training courses and participants always remember him, evidenced by a number of messages from alumni from 1997 in my FB.

My deepest sympathy to P’ Pen and every extended family of K John. He will always be remembered by us for his kindness and love. RIP.
