Condolences from Ai-Lee & Family

To Chu-Wah, Chu-King, Chu-Keeng, Hong, Lang, Si-Ing, Deng & all family members Ron & I just came back from Lee-Mei’s house. We are very sad to hear of aunt’s passing away. Lee-Mei took the call this morning. She waited till my mum woke-up & calmed her first before passing the news to her. Mum had loud cries when she heard it. It has grieved her tremendously, because she has lost a very dear relative. Not only that, I suppose that aunt was her true friend. Philip, Lee-Mei & I are always grateful that aunt was one of the relatives who always treated mum well. I also remember aunt’s love & wailing at my father’s tomb on one Ching-Ming. While all of us will miss her greatly, we should be comforted that her living in this world was not in vain, because God has blessed her with long & good old age, surrounded by many children & grand children & all the love & care that many people only dream of. It is a consolation that she did not suffer long for her sudden illness. She did not miss Chu-Wah’s settling down again with a good wife, Cara’s wedding. She even managed to have Deng (her eldest son, very important in Chinese custom) by her side just half-an-hour before her passing away, considering waiting critically for a dear one traveling from the other far distant end of the world. Isn’t God being gracious to her? I always remember one Christmas at Chu-King’s house in Houston – someone asked aunt as being the head of the family to say grace before the meal. She prayed with such affirmative & loud voice as “ My Lord, my God, I pray to you for blessings to all the people here, all your Abraham’s descendants “. I was deeply moved at that moment & my tears dropped, because only the Holy Spirit enabled one to pray such. We know that aunt is with our Lord Jesus now. Psalm 23 consoles us that “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…”. Jesus promises to all his people that heaven is beautiful, because there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. Our condolences to all. Love from Ai-Lee & family
