In Loving Memory of Aunt Marianne,
I take this moment in time to celebrate the beautiful life of Aunt Mariane, a woman whose love, kindness, and wisdom shaped so many of our lives. For me, she was more than an aunt—she was a source of joy, a safe haven, and someone who could turn even the simplest moments into cherished memories.
As a child, I remember the countless times I spent by her side. She had a way of making everything feel magical, whether it was cooking in her warm kitchen, where the smell of love filled the air, or running through her apartment as she told me stories about the her life. Her laughter was infectious, and her hugs felt like the safest place in the world.
She had an endless well of patience and always seemed to know what I needed, whether it was a listening ear, a silly game, or just someone to sit with me while I figured out life as a little one. I’ll never forget the times she taught me about Chinese cooking, always cheering me on as if my small victories were the most important achievements in the world.
Even as I grew older, her love remained constant. She reminded me to hold onto those childhood joys, to savor life’s little pleasures, and to never lose the wonder she so beautifully embodied.
Her kindness, her warmth, and her unwavering belief in me are gifts I’ll carry for the rest of my life. Aunt Mariane, thank you for being the best aunt a child could hope for and the dearest friend anyone could ask for. I’ll miss you more than words can say, but I’ll find comfort in the memories you’ve left behind—precious moments that will forever bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.
You will always be a part of me, in the laughter of a child and the love shared among family. Rest peacefully, knowing your light will never fade.
With all my love,
Christine Wu
