Tribute taken from 'Frances Ng Tribute Choir and Musicians, Journeys of Faith Concert, St Ignatius Church, Concert Program" (2nd December 2006):

" Frances, also known to us as Fudge, Cici, Auntie, in her quiet and unassuming way has touched so many of us- friends as well as family.

In tribute to Frances, some friends of hers have gathered to sing and play a few of her favorite hymns. She gave so much of herself and of her music. In the main concert, they will be singing arrangements of hymns for St Ignatius Loyola specially arranged by Frances.
Before the concert, as their tribute to Frances, they will begin with the psalm, Centre of my Life. To Frances, God has always been the centre of her life and it was not by chance that this is her favorite psalm.

Of the many gifted musicians in the parish of St Ignatius, Frances was one of them. Another is Tom Rozario. On hearing of her untimely demise, Tom composed The Musician's Prayer for Frances's funeral and faxed it from Barcelona where he currently resides.

The choir will end this tribute with the Advent Alleluia. This hymn is written in a classical style which if Frances were here, she'd want to teach the choir. She lives on in us and in her music. Frances, this is for you."
