TRIBUTES
Puan Sri Margaret Luping
Dear Datuk Amin and familyI was so sorry to read of the death of Judy in the newspaper. It has been quite a journey for Judy. I have many fond memories of Judy dating back to the university days. It was a great time for many Malaysians and New Zealanders. I was very impressed Amin that you travelled every day to see Judy in Charles Fleming. Your devotion and love had no limit. My sincere condolences to you and all members of your family. May the love of God support you at this very sad time. May you find some comfort from the love and support of all your family and friends . If there is anything I can do please let me know.
Love and blessings
Margaret

To Amin and extended family. We send our sincere sympathy to you all. We know Judy has faced a challenging time over the last few years and it will be a comfort to know that you were all so supportive and caring of her. Peter and I were given Judy’s contact number and will never forget her kindness when we arrived in Kuching in 1979. She even loaned us her car until we purchased one! Her cheerful laugh and friendliness was a joy. We enjoyed visits, often with her parents, when Amin and she visited NZ and subsequent lunches/dinners and the wonderful end of year gatherings at Jill’s.
We will keep in touch in the new year.
Love from Pauline, Peter and family.
