Dear Anthony,
You have helped me over these last twenty two years. I can't say how much sorrow I felt at your death. My greatest regret was not getting in touch with you more often. Always thinking that I could do so tomorrow. But tomorrow never came. You have truly impacted my life positively as one of the greatest persons I knew.

My heartfelt condenlences to Anthony's loved ones.

I worked in Singapore for many years and Anthony made a significant impact on my work and thinking. I still remember much of what he said. Anthony was a true statesman of Singapore working gently and supportively for us all.
I count myself as being very lucky and blessed to have known him.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Anthony was a clear example of one who fought the good fight, one who stood up and spoke out to proclaim the love of God for all of God's children, especially those on the margins of society, to whom he has devoted his whole life to – those who suffer, who despair, and who cry out for healing. He kept the faith and ran the race.

Soo Lan, Lucius & Eugene, we grieve with you, but we take comfort, and hope you will to, in Psalmist who said, weeping endureth for a night but joy cometh with the dawn, and for Anthony the dawn has indeed come.

Much love,

I regret not having a chance to speak with or meet Uncle Antony before he was promoted to Glory. My parents went to him for councelling when I was young and years later I went to him on my own to work thro issues that stemmed from a painful childhood. I have come to know him as "Uncle Antony" and he had indeed been like an uncle or even a father to me. I want to thank him for being there and walking the bad patches of my life with me. I had wanted to let him know that things hv improved as far as my emotional well-being is concerned but I didnt hv the chance to do so. But I take heart that he knows and he is with the Heavenly Father and I shall see him again. Thank You, Uncle Antony, for touching so many lives!

For the Family and Friends of Anthony:

Prayers and thanksgiving for the life of a man who I knew only the past 18 months upon my arrival in Singapore and worship at FCC. His sermons were both heartfelt and authentic, filled with caring, compassion, love and most of all diveristy for the people of the rainbow in Singapore and beyond.

I am honored to have chats with the last known Singaporean not to own a mobile phone! His service is inspiration.

Dear Anthony,

I am profoundly sad to learn of the demise of a good person. Anthony, thank you for touching my life at one point, some 20 years back. I will never forget that generosity. That personal gesture of yours had shaped my attitude towards all who came my way. You were a kind and gentle soul, a gem of a person. You may be not here in person but your legacy lives on. Farewell Anthony, my teacher.

My thoughts are with Anthony's loved ones and his colleagues at CCC & SOS...in their time of grief.

Anthony Yeo is now in eternal rest. He passed away peacefully on 20 Jun 2009 with his beloved wife and children by his side. There was a private send off with only family members present. That was how he wanted it.

Many will mourn and grieve the loss of a man who had given his life to be present for others. Although his physical presence is no longer with us, he remains in the words that he wrote and the many lives he touched.

Even in his passing, his thoughts are for others. Anthony had requested that there be no wreaths and all donations be given to Counselling and Care Centre, unless specified for the family (cheque written to "Lee Soo Lan").

Those who wish to send their heartfelt condolences can do so at the Counselling and Care Centre from 23 to 25 Jun 2009 (Tuesday-Thursday), 9am to 5.30pm. You may also wish to sign the online condolence book below.

Anthony's wife and sons would like to clarify that the memorial, as mentioned in the Sunday Times dated 21 Jun 2009, is a private affair, as Anthony wishes it to be.

As we grieve over the loss of Anthony, let us also remember the life he lived and added to others.
