Kota Belud: A 25-year-old teacher died on the spot after her Kancil ended up under a 45-seater express bus at Km32 Jalan Ranau-Kota Kinabalu, about one km from Nabalu town, Monday.

A police spokesperson said Veronita Antau Stephen lost control of her car while overtaking another and rammed straight into the oncoming bus from Tawau at about 4.30pm.

Dear friends,

Please say your prayers to our dear friend, Veronieta Antau Stephen who just left us last night after a tragic car crash. She will be greatly missed for those who love her so dearly, especially her family.

She was one of my closest friend in Matrix and we have shared a lot of ups and downs together. I love her so much not because of how long I have known her, but because of her kind nature,the person she is - funny, talktative, sweet, sincere and lively that even now i cant believe she is gone.

Let us pray,

". . .As a person of faith, of resurrection faith, I see death as a friend, not a foe; and the experience of death is, I am convinced, a transition from life to life, from grace to glory."

My Jesus have mercy on the Soul of Veronieta.


O Gentlest heart of Jesus,
ever present in the Blessed Sacrament,
ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory
have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant.
Be not severe in Thy judgment but let some drops
of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames,
and do Thou O merciful Saviour send the angels to conduct her to a place of refreshment, light and peace.

Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers,
wherein we humbly pray Thee
to show Thy mercy upon the soul of Thy servant Vero, whom Thou
hast commanded to pass out of this world,
that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light,
and bid her be partaker with Thy Saints.

O loving God . . . I pray you to welcome my deceased
friend into heaven with you. Forgive her her sins and r
eward her her goodness. Grant that I may be with them again
in your Peaceful presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

We love you, Vero.

You will be greatly missed.
