Vincent Kok Tak Chiu's older sister, veteran film producer Linda Lam Kuk Mei Lai earlier passed away in her sleep at age 72. Yesterday her family began services for her at the Hong Kong Funeral Parlor with a Catholic ceremony. The hall was decorated in white with a "Forever Missed" banner across the top. At the center of Lam Kuk Mei Lai's husband Lam Kwing Chee's pink heart shaped wreath, with daughters' wreaths on both sides. The monitors played many photos, including photos of her wedding, family, and everyday life, reliving the life of Lam Kuk Mei Lai with family and friends. Her photos with many friends in the business like Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing, Cherie Chung Chor Hung, Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Louis Koo Tin Lok, and Simon Yam Tat Wah were included as well.

Lam Kuk Mei Lai had good connections with people in life. Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and his wife Carina Lau Ka Ling, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and his wife May Lo Mei Mei, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Sylvia Changn Ai-chia, Ekin Cheng Yi Kin, Eason Chan Yik Shun's family, Stephen Chow Sing Chi, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Ann Hui On Wah and Mabel Cheung Yeun Ting all sent floral arrangements in condolences as a sea of flowers appeared outside the hall.

Kok Tak Chiu arrived around 4:30 PM with girlfriend Kiki Lam Tsz Huen, niece Jo Koo (Kuk Cho Lam) and several family members in vehicles. They stopped for photos at the media's request but declined any interview. Kok Tak Chiu simply thanked the media on behalf of the family. Many in the industry paid their respect. Nansun Shi entered with a cane and help from others. Peter Chan ho Sun and his wife Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Teresa Mo Shun Kwan and her husband Au Ting Ping, Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Anselm Chan Mou Yin, Clifton Ko Chi Sum, Teddy Robin Kwan and Winnie Yu Tseng also appeared.

Chung Chor Hung and Claudie Chung Chun arrived around 6:30 PM at the funeral parlor. Chung Chor Hung smiled and waved at the cameras but did not speak to the press. While waiting for the elevator she appeared saddened as she lightly wiped away her tears. Tsang Chi Wai arrived alone with a solemn look.

Tin Kai Man recalled meeting Lam Kuk Mei Lai while working at RTV. Later when she joined the film industry, they met again during the Cinema City era and have known each other for several decades. He praised Lam Kuk Mei Lai as a great person, helping younger generations without any doubt. Tin Kai Man has not heard of her having any illness or pain. When he received the news of Lam Kuk Mei Lai's passing he was shocked and saddened. "Fortunately I learned that she passed away peacefully, without any pain. I have not seen her in awhile." Around 8PM after the ceremony, everyone gradually left. Chung Chor Hung's eyes and nose were all red from crying as she left in a vehicle with Chung Chun. Nancy Sit Ka Yin stayed for around 20 minutes and her eyes were swollen from crying as well.
