Health worker Lau Kam-yung is buried at Gallant Garden with highest honours after she loses the fight against Sars
Employees from United Christian Hospital said farewell to their 'Mother Yung' yesterday as the 47-year-old health-care assistant was buried at Gallant Garden with the highest honours.
Lau Kam-yung, who died on May 27 after caring for a Sars patient, was described as a loving, motherly figure by the hospital's chief executive, Tse Chun-yan, at North Point Funeral Home before the burial.
'She was a caring, optimistic person who always wore a warm smile. Her love can be felt by all of us,' he said.
Dr Tse also said Lau, mother of a daughter and a son, was an affectionate parent and wife at home, adding that all her colleagues would miss Lau's treats, including tea-leaf flavoured eggs and sago dessert.
The chairman of the Hospital Authority, Leong Che-hung, said in the eulogy that Lau was a responsible colleague who never spared a thought for how much she had to suffer.
