In memory of a gallant legionary who died in action, for the glory of the Kingdom until the last.

Angela Patricia Low (front seated middle) died on 13-2-2012 of a heart failure.

On Sunday 5-2-2012, she was attending a legion Curia meeting at the Holy Rosary Church Kuala Lumpur. She was feeling not well half way through the meeting and was sent home by other members. Later, she was admitted her into National Heart Institution (IJN).

It was confirmed that she was suffering from artery blockage and Angioplasty was scheduled on 13-2-2013.

On the fateful day, she was quite normal and was wheeled into OT for the procedure. However, before commencement of Angioplatry, her heart stopped. Despite vigorous resuscitation, she died at the age of 78, leaving behind 6 children and 22 grandchildren.

The doctors were rather taken aback by such rare occurrence. However, it was told that Angela prayed constantly for a good death, without any operation, or artificial prolongation of life which may cause hardship to family. God answer her prayer.

She was a dedicated and committed legionary. Despite of her advance age, she was actively involved in legion meeting and activities, including visitation.

She drove a bright green old car, fetching members for legionary works. I used to call her "Sporty Legionary".

She offered herself to God and his Kingdom until her last breath, she died in action.

Her funeral Mass was held on 16-2-2012 at 11:00 am at the Sacred Heart Church, Peel Road, Kuala Lumpur.

May her soul rest in Peace.

Angela's old battle horse 玉伙姐的老战马

鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已。

这句话，也可以用来形容刘玉伙姐妹。

二月五日（星期日），玉伙姐到吉隆坡玫瑰堂参加区团会议。会议中，突然感到不舒服，军友就把她送回家，然后由孩子送进国家心脏中心接受检查。

医生验定是心脏血管阻塞，安排要做心脏血管动脉造形手术（俗称吹气球）。

13/2/2012星期一，医护人员早上就为她就准备好，要进行该手术。在推进了手术室后，还没启动手术程序，突然间，玉伙姐就停止呼吸，急救也还魂乏术，就这样安详的离开了这个世界，享年七十八岁，留下三男三女及二十二位孙子。

主治医师为这突然的状况感觉惊愕，家人更伤心不已。无论如何，大家都接受这是天意的安排，她不需受任何的痛苦，就如此的离开这个世界，蒙主恩召，回归天乡。她曾说过，常常祈求圣母给她善终，不要有任何的开刀（手术），以免麻烦家人。这是天主的垂怜吧！

玉伙姐虽然是高龄，但仍然很活跃，驾着一辆鲜艳绿色的旧车，装载团员，参加圣母军的会议及各种活动。所以我常叫她做“跑车圣母军”。 她也是交流会的常客。

她的突然离去，每个认识她的人都依依不舍。她幽默的谈话，脸上常挂的笑容，阔达的人生观，都深深的嵌在朋友的心中，成为美好的回忆。

她在1991年参加圣母军，从不间断，直到生命的终结。鞠躬尽瘁，死而后己。

她的安所弥撒在16-2-2012 早上十一时，假吉隆坡俾路圣心堂举行。；

安息吧，我的老战友，忠诚的圣母军团员玉伙姐。
