Your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I have you to thank for my two beautiful children ❤️
We are so sorry for your loss Lorna and Brian. Your mom and dad were the most loving neighbors we had the pleasure of knowing. Praying that Gods blessing will soothe you both during this time in your lives. Again We were so blessed to have known such a wonderful couple.
Doctor with a big heart
Dr. Emy Mallick left this life quietly in her sleep but its suddenness gave her scholars and their parents in rural Indang in the Philippines a jolt of sadness and a great sense of loss.
Several years before her passing, she offered to sponsor the scholarship of eight school children in our rural private school. The scholarship provided scholars with free tuition fees and the benefit of quality education in a private institution. Happy with the thought of helping rural school children break free from the yolk of poverty via the gift of education, she decided to increase her scholarship support to 12.
At the time of her passing, Dr. Mallick left 12 grieving scholars whose parents join our faculty and staff in praying for the eternal repose of her soul. She will be remembered for her generosity and the care that she had for the rural poor.
In life, she amplified the virtues of humility and charity which she took on from her late father Sixto Clemente, a prominent civic leader in her hometown of Paranaque.
In death, she left a legacy of generosity in our school, particularly in the heart and mind of the scholars whose families she had touched. She had wished for them the gift of quality education and a bright future.
As we see it in school, she gave them a good headstart: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)
We, at Holy Family School of Indang in the Philippines, thank the good Lord for giving us the privilege of crossing paths with Dr. Mallick. We felt God’s love through her. We also express our sincerest condolences to her family, with prayers for peace and unity.

Am so saddened by Dra Emy’s passing!! Must be loved by Husband Steven that he took her to be with him in the Garden of the Lord!
Dra Emy is one very generous soul & has helped SPCP and me, in all Charitable undertakings- Scholarship Funds, Sisters of St Paul- the many Community Pantries your family supported, the school children under the Paranaque Bridge providing school supplies & foods, Phil General Hospital Obstetrics Dept. Pandemic support to Frontliners, RTPCR Tests kits, Antigen test kits, and so many others. Surely, Emy has made a Mark in Heaven! As she happily joined her husband in the Kingdom of the Lord!!
Pls accept my Sincerest Sympathies to you and to the Clemente Family!! Have offered a Special Mass for Emy’s Eternal Repose in the Bosom of the Lord!!

She was a really nice lady. She always made me laugh in the office. She made having a baby fun
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Dr. Mallick delivered both of our children. She was always smiling when you saw her. She always remembered me when I would run into her after her retirement. Such a dear sweet lady! She will be missed. Rest in Peace, Dr. Mallick.
