We join with our fellow Singaporeans in mourning the passing of MM's beloved wife Mdm Kwa Geok Choo.
Their long and loving marriage, their obvious devotion to each other and her support for her husband's political ambitions are worthy of respect and admiration.
CNA has put together a special report including a section that lets Singaporeans post their thoughts.
There is also a video in 5 parts: Tower of Strength.
I liked this little observation about how Mrs Lee proofread MM's memoirs...
But MP Denise Phua put it best:
"I think Mrs Lee is a personification of what I thought was not possible in women - to have it all.
"Not only did she have a great career, but I think she's a great mother (and), as we all know, (also a) great wife, great mother-in-law and great grandmother," Ms Phua said.
She added the late Mrs Lee was really a "woman of substance".
"To me, she has a lot of confidence to be able to have all that education qualifications behind her, all that cognition, intellect and be able to step behind her husband to provide support, as he serves our country.
"To me, that takes a lot of confidence, a lot of security and a lot of character in a woman," she said.
