Singer Sita Chan Hei Yi (originally named Chan Ho Yi) tragically passed away in a car accident on April 17 and ended her 26 year short life. Two days ago services began in the Po Fook Memorial Hall, and the funeral was yesterday as the remains were transported to the Fu Shan Crematorium. Sita's younger sister carried her photo as her heartbroken parents bid farewell to their daughter on her final journey. Paco Wong could not hide his sorrow as he broken heartedly hid in a corner and wiped away tears; Lee Shing Chak's eyes were all red from the sorrow.

The ceremony began at 10AM, Chan Hei Yi's family arrived at 9AM, then Chan Hei Yi's boss Paco Wong, friends Lee Shing Chak, HotCha member Crystal, Terence Siufay and others arrived. Their sorrow was hard to hide. A dozen or so fans also waited outside to send their idol on her final journey.

After the ceremony, the hearse went to the Fu Shan Crematorium. The hearse was decorated with chrysanthemum and white lilies. Because Chan's parents had no religious belief, they had no taboo as they personally sent their daughter on her final journey. Yet perhaps due to excessive heartache, when Father Chan left the vehicle he required assistance from Mother Chan and friends. Chan Hei Yi's younger sister was responsible for carrying her photo.

Paco Wong sadly stood in a corner of the crematorium and cried. Friend Lam Hau Man also appeared. After the cremation he and Paco Wong left through the back door. Other family and friends took the bus to a Tai Wan restaurant for the post ceremony banquet; rumored boyfriend Sammy Sum Chun Hin did not appear.

Siufay admitted that when they bid farewell to Sita, everyone had a hard time with their emotions. He hoped that his late friend would rest in peace. "I wish Sita wouldn't worry too much, I know she worried about her family the most. All of us would very gladly take care of her family."

Siufay revealed that Sita's sister worked all night over the video to remember Sita's everyday life. It was played in the funeral home. All the family and friends spoke, which was very touching. "They mainly described about Sita as someone who was very happy, very thoughtful, had a great and noble spirit, brought a lot of joy to friends. Thus everyone held a very important spot in everyone's hearts. Her passing had huge impulse of her, like losing a share of love."
