Lai Sim was always a steadfast, loyal friend. She was my bridesmaid, and the first to visit me in hospital for my kids’ births. We’ve traveled together, worked on cruise ships and shared many unforgettable moments. You will always be my cherished friend and confidante, and we will miss you dearly. Rest In Peace xxx

My most sincere condolences to all Lai's family and friends. Although I hadn't seen Lai for a number of years, I always think of Lai as full of fun, and never missing a moment to enjoy life. Far, far too young to be gone. I hope there is peace now.

A wonderful colleague and friend, Lai was generous, funny and always had a story to tell. Lai was part of the fabric of Melbourne Law School, and the place will be forever changed without her. My thoughts are with Lai’s loved ones. She will be greatly missed.

Lai was a much loved colleague and friend at the Law School. She was dedicated and hard working and always so generous with everything. She was also incredibly tough and never gave up hope, especially over the last year. I will miss her tremendously and the Law School will not be the same without her. It was a lovely service and sincere condolences to her family and friends.

To my gorgeous Lai Sim. So sad you're gone so soon. Will have so many memories to hold on to - the travels, the movies, the food (so much food) and the laughs. Your home and your heart were always open to me and to anyone else when needed. To Namsiew, Wai Ching, Lai Peng. Pak and the rest of the family. Know that Lai Sim was loved by so many. She will be missed but she will always be remembered.
