Dear Grace & Sylvain,
Master Jasmine has just
passed away on 6th March, 5: 30 am. in hospital, nearly at the same time, her youngest daughter gave birth a baby girl in the same
hospital.
I left the hospital just a few hours before she passed away. Her husband and all her children and grandchildren
were at bed side. At last, she had rested in peace.
We are waiting for further news from her family. I will keep you updated.Regards, Ellen
