Raja Zarith Sofia Sultan Idris Shah today expressed her gratitude to the public for their condolence messages following the recent demise of her son, Tunku Abdul Jalil Iskandar Sultan Ibrahim.
The Permaisuri of Johor also paid tribute to two individuals, Amy and Sabrina, who had cared for Tunku Abdul Jalil, during his battle with Stage 4 liver cancer.
"They moved in with us, and sacrificed their time being with their children so that they could look after Almarhum.
"They were the ones who made sure he took his medicines.
"They were the ones who slept at odd hours because Almarhum would eat very late at night or sometimes before dawn.
"They were the ones who would be with him at all the different hospitals whenever Almarhum was warded.
"They were the ones who travelled with him everywhere he went.
"They were the ones who knew which clothes he would want to wear, which shoes, which caps or beanies.
"They were the ones who tidied up his room. They knew where everything was," she wrote on her Facebook page.
Raja Zarith Sofia said Amy and Sabrina also refused to take leave when she insisted them to spend time with their own children.
"Even though I kept telling them to take a day off, and spend some time with their children, they would tell me their children were well taken care of by Sabrina's sister.
"They would only have a meal with their children when someone else was there to be with Almarhum."
According to Raja Zarith Sofia, while she felt the pain of losing her son, the women who took care of Almarhum, also felt the same loss.
"Yes, I feel the pain of losing my son, but they do too. They've cried just as our family has cried.
"We can only pray and ask Allah to bless them with much happiness, health, and a wonderful life ahead with your own family.
"Thank you, Amy & Sabrina."
