I am so saddened to hear the passing of Ann (Molrudee). We lost contact over the years from working together in Real Estate but bumped into each other about a year ago with little Liam. I was following Ann on the World Games and then for some reason Face Book didn't update hence only learning of her passing just now. I would have been there for sure Ann to say farewell. Special memories having copious coffees, playing pool and helping me to sing on the Karaoke evenings. Rest In Peace Angel. I doubt I will meet someone like you again, a precious diamond true and rare xxx
Dein herzliches Lachen, Unbeschwertheit, Fröhlichkeit und mitreissende Persönlichkeit werden mir in Errinnung bleiben!
Molrudee achieved in her lifetime what some of us only dream of. She had the conviction and determination. I first met Molrudee when playing in the NZ snooker tournament in Auckland and Matt and Molrudee told me their story (how Matt flew to Germany to pursue Molrudee even though he hated flying) it was so romantic. We lost a beautiful talented lady but I think she would want us to strive on and put NZ on the map for her legacy. Take care Matt, Liam and family xx
MK what an amazing woman and life you lived. Gone way too soon, you will be deeply missed by all the people you touched. I only got the chance to meet you at the occasional pool competition. You were always so joyful to be around with a giant smile on your face. I remember when I started playing after years away and you welcomed me back like I’d never left. Thank you for blessing this world with your beautiful positive presence. To Matt, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. MK left you the most amazing gift of all, your beautiful boy Liam.
Deepest sympathies to family and friends 💐 May the wonderful memories of your life help those of you who had the pleasure of knowing and playing with her be cherished during this difficult time🙏
Rest in peace Molrudee. I will always remember our time playing pool in Germany and also in Luxembourg where we played in one team. Many thanks for the opportunity with the livestream so I could say goodbye to dear Molrudee. All the best to Matt, Liam and the whole family.
I was Liams teacher at daycare for a little while and he is such a blessing. It was so lovely talking with Molrudee on pick ups and I could feel the unconditional love she had for him She was a beautiful lady and she will be missed. RIP 💕
Gone way too soon. Always had a big smile everytime we encountered each other at pool. RIL Molrudee
A beautiful service to remember Molrudee. My condolences to Matt, Liam and all the family .
Condolences to Matt,Liam and family, RIL Molrudee.
Molrudee.. singing the song that i sang at the old pool & blues during my leaving party... Farewell to you my friend💙💙
For over a week if not longer when I first found out the sad news i have been numb in thought. During my working day my mind would drift to the few times that I meet Molrudee and how she was a beacon of light that would light up a room. Every thought I have has been said and one can't make sense of how the journey of life is played out sometimes and how unfair it can be. My condolences to all family and all those that were lucky enough to have the pleasure of meeting or knowing Molrudee. RIP Molrudee.
RIL Molrudee, you BEAUTIFUL soul ♥️🤍🕊 you are loved by SO many x Until we meet again, my friend x

You are a fighter, a warm smile, a kind heart, a positive mind, a kick-arse athlete, a loving mum, a trusting boss, a fun friend, and many more. You light up the room when you are present and you invite smiles with your warmth. I will miss you terribly, we all will. Please rest in peace, love and happiness. Hope we will meet again someday.
So sad, RIP Molrudee Kasemchaiyanan You are one of my closest friends in cuesports. One of the most talented women players in the world, while being one of the kindest. Great memories playing and going out for meals in China, Qatar, USA, Australia and of course NZ. Always had a laugh, lively and so positive, It has been so difficult for you over the last couple of years but you could still smile. So honoured and thankful that you asked me to coach you again for this year's World Games when many great internationals offered their expertise. Will never forget how you said to me 'you know me and what I need to get ready" You tried to practice but you were not your energetic self, now we know why! And you apologised to me, NO! so proud of you in all your efforts and so thankful to call you a great friend and supporter. Will miss you as so many other people will to. RIP and Condolences to the family and friends
Wahine ataahua wahine piataata wahine purotu wahine humarire - I'll always remember the first and only time I met you at Uncle Tamatis 50th birthday - how it was just a hopeless mission trying to play pool against you and Matt and what a laugh and blast that night was - I think you were also pregnant at the time and your excitement was contagious. Beautiful girl.. take your rest now. 🤍 Ka mamae aroha 💔😥 Moe mai ra e te wahine purotu moe mai ra i roto te ngakau o te atua e kore rawa koe e warewaretia, ka tangi tonu nei mou moe mai ra moe mai ra 💔😥
Always a smile, a giggle, a natural magnet for people to come towards. Thanks for showing me around Vegas, shooting some pool and winning some trophies! Sadly you will be missed. With such a positive impact on people you will be forever part of us and in our memories.
Can't really words to tell... Open the page & close the page three times... Your kindness words iron in my heart in deep... Next travel I would pay my respects.. Rest 💞 in love Samuel Huang
