Eugenie or Geno as she is called was a long serving parishioner of the Church of the Assumption in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
Geno started working for the Parish from as early as when it was only a Chapel and helped to raise funds before the Church was built in 1959. We will remember you as the Church celebrates her Golden Jubilee this year.
All Geno wanted then was to become a teacher! So off to Calcutta she went in 1963 for a year to become among the first to study as a Montessori teacher. She returned to teach in various Mission schools and private kindergartens.
Her teaching stint in Mission schools led her to a life-long commitment to serving the Church of the Assumption in the Liturgical Committee, Advisor to the Altar Boys Society, with the Altar Ladies, the Pastoral Council and pre-Baptism classes. I had the opportunity of serving with Geno on the Parish Council in the earlier years.
She was also into writing and documented a book on Fr Andrew Volle, MEP (resident priest)and the book "Come Follow Me" was published.
She accepted her illness as a will from God. Family and friends from near and far rallied around and supported her in prayers, visitations and whatever way they could help.
Geno, you will be dearly missed by family and friends and in particular the Parish Community at the Church of the Assumption. Pray for us as we pray for you.
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Thought there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
