In memory of Nesta Mok |
 |
The Athletics Interest Group is saddened to note the passing of Nesta Mok on 7 May. Nesta was the founding treasurer of the interest group and was actively involved in organizing fitness training classes, brain gym seminar, charity runs and marathon trial runs. She was also instrumental to the success of the Institute's trailwalker teams. Nesta's contributions and fighting spirit were admirable. She will be sadly missed by her friends and we wish to offer our deepest condolences to her husband and children. Nesta's funeral will be held on 28 May at Hong Kong Funeral Home. |
