I am so sad to learn another sister of ours Maria left us in a sudden to God's hands during this pandemic. Even though I still have other siblings around me yet our girly gossiping & giggling would be truly missed. One thing for sure I can imagine Maria, Betty, Mary and Mom are now united up there in heaven and playing their mahjong game 攻打四方城. RIP 奀家姐 Maria! Missing you 😢
My condolences to the Ko's & Wong's family.

Johanna & Family:
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. It is often very difficult to watch a loved ones health deteriorate, and we have to accept the inevitable. Be safe in the knowledge that she is no longer in any pain, or confusion. As well, the love between her and her family, & friends, can never ever ever be taken away as it resides within our hearts. Remember this love. Reflect on this love. Share it as she has shared it with all of those who knew her.
I am here for you Johanna if you want to talk.
Miss you, and love you…
J.Michael
