actress emma yong dies of cancer, aged 36
it has been reported that ms emma yong, aged 36, has passed on after a prolonged bout with late stage stomach cancer which was diagnosed in january last year.
the cancer went into remission through aggressive chemotherapy but she suffered a relapse towards the end of last year.
my comments:
our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to her family and loved ones.
i can relate to the loss of a dear one to cancer as my younger brother also lost his battle with late stage cancer of the kidney some years ago. and this year, all the wakes my wife and myself have attended have been deaths caused by cancer and not necessarily confined to late stage cancer. many of these deaths are certainly not in the script as these people are still in the prime of their lives not unlike ms emma yong at 36 years is another talented individual gone too soon.
and cancer will continue to account for many deaths (sadly) because it is still one of the leading cause of deaths in our tiny red dot nation.
but there will also be many cancer survivors (thank God) and for this group of people whom i have met over the course of my role as a financial advisor, the good news is that many will continue to lead normal lives but on the flip side, taking up insurance may remain a wish on their 'things-to-do' list.

Do the right thing for them and NOT rob them of correct amount of insurance because you want to make more commission but they can't afford. Having the right amount is so cheap but unfortunately many people like emma and worse, young people with a family are short changed and conned because of the commission.
ReplyDeleteIt is conscience before commission and not just shouting people before profit.
