Winnie Sim

Dear Winnie,

Tears are still flowing as I write this. How I wish this were just a long, endless nightmare—that I could still wake up to a message from you.

What I remember most are those days in the U.S., when you'd fly from San Francisco to Los Angeles almost every weekend just to see me. Every time I saw you, you were always so warm, so radiant—like the gentle California sunshine that brightened my days in a foreign land. After graduation, you returned to Singapore, and though we didn't see each other as often, every reunion was filled with such emotion and joy. We were always like family to each other. No matter the distance, the bond we shared never changed.

Thank you, Winnie. Thank you for traveling all that way to be with me. Thank you for the unreserved smile you gave me every time we met. Thank you for making my life so much richer simply by being in it.

Now you've gone to a better place, free from pain. But I will miss you forever. I will love you forever.

Rest in peace, my dearest sister.

Forever your love

Winnie，今天得知妳離開了的消息，實在是太突然，我很難過。雖然我們已經很久沒聯絡，但我也會偶爾回憶我在美國讀書時候的片段，當中有妳的燦爛笑容和歡笑聲，有妳在的場合總是沒有悶場。很高興認識到妳，願妳在天國開心快樂！

昨天才知道妳因罹患再生不良性貧血症離開了～

我很難受

1994年妳如天使般出現在我的青春歲月裏 （原來是在我們六合生肖的年份遇見呢）

那年在ESL課堂中瞥見一位左撇子女生在草稿紙上塗鴉

英文好得完全不費吹灰之力便完成作業

還是我最最最喜歡的單眼皮（真的，很酷！完全戳中我的偏愛）

謝謝妳主動走向我

妳是我那些年非常重要的「最佳損友」

這麼多年過去了我還是會不時想起

坐在你的開篷跑車於i-280風一般飛馳的美好回憶

謝謝妳陪我走過那段最單純最無憂無慮的時光

永遠懷念我們一起呼吸、一起爛醉、一起瘋的日子

還有妳那很有感染力的笑容⋯

能跟妳在美國相遇是我的福氣～

沈珍珍～再見

Rest in peace dear Winnie. I’ll always cherish the memories we shared. I still remember the laughs and fun times like it was yesterday. You have the biggest smile that light up the room. You will be in our hearts forever. Condolences to your family.

Dear Mr Sim , dear Anson,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Winnie’s passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this very difficult time.

In the years I had known her, I came to appreciate the warmth, humility, and kindness that truly defined Winnie. She carried herself with such quiet grace. She will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you shared and in the love of those around you.

With deepest sympathy,
C H Wong

Some people have thanked me for being around Winnie’s family during this difficult period, not knowing that I am the one who is truly grateful to the family for giving me that chance.
Winnie is deeply loved by many, near and far, across the world. I am thankful to have been close to her by proximity, which allowed me to spend more personal time with her, including the opportunity in Dec 2026 before her condition deteriorated, to tell her that she was a special person who truly made a difference in other people’s lives. While other friends may not have told her so explicitly, I am certain many felt the same way.
I will always be grateful to Winnie. She was one of the most generous yet humble people I have ever known. She had a very big heart — and when I say big, I mean very big. I also want to pay tribute to Winnie’s parents, who raised her so beautifully. I am so proud of her.
On 2 February 2026, Winnie told me that her condition had badly beaten her up but she would fight. She did. She fought her best till the end surrounded by her loved ones and many dear friends.
Many of us, myself included, are left with unanswered questions. I hope this post can bring some comfort and a sense of closure to those who read it, especially her many good friends from afar who cannot be here in person to send her off one last time, as much as they wish they could.
Winnie truly lived a full life, though she left us too soon. Let's continue to keep her and her family in our thoughts and prayers.
I love you, Winnie.

Dear Beloved Cousin Winnie,

I still remember the days we played together as children, never knowing how quickly time would pass. Though we lost touch for many years, reconnecting again 2 years ago was a gift we will always cherish. Thank you for those renewed memories.

You will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

Dear Lee Family, Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved wife, Winnie. Her warmth and kindness will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you shared and strength in the support of those around you during this difficult time.

Your kindness will be missed. Thank you for looking after me. Sending thoughts and prayers for your family

親愛的Winnie，

謝謝妳陪我走過那段最單純的歲月。
從大學到碩士，那些年是我人生中非常重要的成長時光。

妳讓我學會了什麼是照顧、承擔與陪伴。
那些回憶，我會永遠珍惜。

人生後來各自延伸，
但我始終祝福妳擁有屬於自己的幸福與安定。

聽到妳離開的消息，心裡非常難受。
願妳在沒有病痛的地方安息，
也願妳的家人得到平安與力量。

謝謝妳曾經如天使般出現在我的青春裡。

RIP, dearest Winnie. Things were always noisy and unexpected when your free spirit was in the room. You possessed an infectious energy and also a kind heart. From those head-spinning times in Santa Clara, to our casual and serendipitous run-ins back home, I feel fortunate to have shared those fleeting moments with you. Rest well, until we meet again. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones this day.

Thank you, Winnie, for always taking such good care of my sister. Wishing you peace wherever you are. Love always 💌

I’ll never forget your kindness during our time in Santa Clara—you were the one who made sure I had a car for my driver's test and a ride picking my V-max from Daly City. You stood by me through thick and thin back in the days. We had our differences, but I always admired the way you put the welfare of others first. Rest in peace, my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the Sim family

RIP Winnie. I can still remember your voice from the many times we all went singing together back in the states. Your joy and laughter will always be remembered. Till we meet again on the other side. Deepest condolences to the Sim and Chen family. My heart and prayers go out to you in this difficult time.

I remember the night i met winnie through ting & agus @ Holland V. I remember the day she went back US to face her demons. I remember the days i went over to her new place & hung out. I remember the day Winnie & Anson met @ MOS smoking room. I remember the day i was asked by Anson to help patch them back together. Though i had to listen to Anson's endless love confession for more than an hour, I was convinced that they should be together. I remember the wedding that was pretty fun. I remember when the fish craze started that morphed into a cat craze. & i will remember now when an old friend has left us. See you later my friend Winnie.

Yo Winnie, we have known each other since kindergarten. And you were the one who pulled the chair on me when we were in P2. And I remember how I would scare you with my asthma attack. We had so much fun throughout our primary school days, and then PSLE happened, and blur blur lost contact after. Many years later, fate led us to meet again when you recognized me in SF. You say my face no change since primary school. I will take that as a compliment. And we have been in touched since. I didn't get to see you in my last visit to SG, I'm heartbroken and still very "stunned" to hear that you departed when we just msg weeks ago, and you sounded so happy. You are dearly missed.

RIP Winnie and thank you for taking care of me when I first arrived in SCU all those years ago, back when I was a clueless young punk who would never have survived if not for your kindness. Will forever remember your smile, that mischievous glimmer in your eyes, and most of all, your sweet caring and thoughtful soul.

Winnie,
I still find it hard to believe that you are gone.
My heart feels a quiet emptiness, and I miss you deeply.

For 29 years, you were more than family to me.
Thank you for your love, your strength, and everything you gave.

You have carried so much with courage and grace.
Now may you rest, free from all burdens, surrounded by peace and light.

Rest in peace.
You will always be with me.

Rest in peace Winnie. Heaven has gained another angel. Though we were not in the same class but I will always remember Winnie’s sweet smile from our NYPS days. Deepest condolences to Winnie’s family 🙏

Been so many years but I will always remember our days in the US. Your spunky personality and smile will forever be missed. RIP dear Winnie

Dear sis,
How am I supposed to process this? I can’t help but think that I’ll see you again when I make a trip back this year. In 1995 you came up to me and made me your friend, and I couldn’t thank you enough till this day. I’m heart broken and distraught, to an unthinkable degree, Your laughter and joy will be dearly missed. Thank you sis, for being there when I needed it, though you’re younger, you’ve given me far wiser advice than peers much older. Let us celebrate your life, the life that is so unfairly snatched away, the life that brought joy and meaning to all of us…
我的心很痛, 痛至无比…你要知道, 我们爱你, 直到永远…

Winnie, my dear friend. Our time together meant so much to me, and I will always remember your goofy face and your beautiful spirit. Making you laugh was one of my favorite things. Sheeee baaaaa. You’ll always be with me.

Rest in peace, Winnie. Although we haven't kept in touch for so long, I'll always remember our party days at Zouk fondly. My sincere condolences to your family.

Still can’t believe it.
Your warm smile and calmness impressed me in every conversation.
My deepest condolances to her family and love ones.

RIP, Winnie sis.
I am deeply grateful that life brought us together over 30 years ago and gave me the privilege to know you and to call you my sister. Being your brother was an honor I will always cherish. You brought laughter, warmth, and joy wherever you went, and every moment spent together was filled with genuine happiness.

Your kindness, your smile, and the way you made people feel seen and cared for will never be forgotten. The memories we shared over the many years—our conversations, our time together, and the laughter we enjoyed—will remain forever in my heart.

Though you are no longer with us, your spirit lives on in the love you gave and the lives you touched. You will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever loved.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Winnie passing. Though we didn’t meet often, I will always remember you as a cheerful, gentle, and generous person who was so easy to talk to.

Thank you for your kindness and patience when helping me with my jewellery ring — you truly went the extra mile to accommodate my requests. Your warmth and sincerity left a lasting impression on me.

You were a very nice person who brought comfort and positivity to those around you. You will be remembered fondly and deeply missed.

My heartfelt condolences to your family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find strength and comfort in the memories you left behind.

I never thought I will ever have the feeling of losing a very close friend whom I can have deep conversations with and who can relate and understands the things I only shared with her . Now I have no one to confide in. I will never find someone like her in my life . She was still so helpful even when she’s not well and always a good advisor. Will miss you so much Winnie, especially when we did the things you liked together. I’m cherishing all the memories we had going out for good meals, trying out new restaurants, shopping, drinking and looking for your favourite sneakers. We had planned to try a list of new restaurants together when you are well. So many unfinished conversations.
Forever in my heart. Your memory stays with me forever.

Our last meal together. I’m forever grateful to you introducing Evan to me. May you rest in peace and you will always be in my heart. You are reunited with Auntie now.

Hearing the news of Winnie's sudden passing came as a shock. I remember talking with her and she always had a smile on her face. My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.

嘴硬心软 ， 善良大方。
We are supposed to cook my porterhouse steak for you again after getting well but how could you left without eating ??
From now on , no one will fight over your favorite fatty steak , only reserved for you , swee boh ?

Finally you will see your mum again , go in peace , till we meet again.
You will always be missed and remembered.

Still can’t believe it. Your energy and spirit still feel so close — it feels like we just spoke, sharing our hopes and plans, and talking about what we would do after this battle.

Your presence, your laughter, and the strength you brought into our lives will be deeply missed. Thank you for being such a dear friend, for always listening and for standing with us through every high and low.

You fought a brave battle.

You will always be in our hearts..

I remember the few moments which we had together in London with our common friend Clement. 一路走好

Deepest condolences to loved ones and family of Winnie.

Beautiful Cousin Winnie,
I will always remember how you introduced me to the life-changing “streaming box” from the dodgy Sim Lim Square which preceded my Netflix subscription.
Your virtual Tung Hoon tutorial will be forever immortalized in my Apple Cloud (failing which the written recipe is also immortalized in my Google Cloud). If both these bastard companies go bankrupt then really win already.
I’ll fondly recall your exuberance and love for your family ( including the ever exponentially increasing fur babies! ).
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to witness how you gritted your teeth and faced the shadows with courage (and even humor). Well done Wonder Woman! Now you can take a well deserved break.
You’ll be sorely missed!

I still can’t quite believe it. I will carry our memories—from San Francisco to Los Angeles, from Singapore to Taipei—forever in my heart. My old friend, may you rest in peace.

Please accept my deepest condolences 😢
