Dear Karen, 

I’m sending you my deepest sympathy for the passing of your beloved sister, Amy.  I’m very happy to hear that she went to be with the Lord peacefully, without pain, and had a chance to say good bye to the family. 

I do remember Amy when we were at Christ Church of China in Chinatown many years ago.   She was very quiet. I knew very little about her, but I feel like I got to know her a bit better through the video.  She was a gem! Thank you for sharing Amy’s memorial video.  I was deeply touched and encouraged by her quiet, impactful, and beautiful life. It made me realized that each life is special and precious in God’s sight! 

I’m sure you have many more beautiful memories of her and that you’ll see her again someday in heaven!

Love,
Sharon

Dear Karen, Mimi, Kingsley, family and friends,
I thank God for Amy for her genuine love for children, youth and seniors.  She was always energetic, relaxed, caring and patient with children.  During my 19 years serving in VCCC with children and seniors, Amy was a wonderful partner in ministry.  She served in Saturday morning Confident Kids, AWANA, summer conference and various children meetings.  Everyone enjoyed having auntie Amy around.  She listened attentively, showed understanding and support.  She could laugh heartily and being funny at times.
We will miss Amy but take comfort that she is with our loving Lord now.  Thank God for the gift of sharing Amy's passion of love, faithfulness and selflessness!   Praying for God's peace and comfort for the family!

懷念愛妹美顏

在美顏患病住醫的四個月，我晝夜禱告，求神醫治她，我深信主若願意，在祂絕無難成的事。但在美顏離世前幾天，聖靈改變了我的禱告，我求神向她說話、撫摸她、懷抱她、鼓勵她、安慰她，我覺得主若這樣做，美顏就沒事了。我請查經小組的組員也同樣為她禱告，那是星期四。

星期日，我和丈夫、二姐、我的小兒子在清理美顏的住所後去醫院見她，她已離世歸主半小時了。我望著她的臉，心中感到欣慰和釋然，美顏熟睡了，睡得這樣安詳，沒有病容。立時一首詩歌「因祂活著」從我裡面湧出來：「神差愛子，祂名為耶穌，祂愛世人、醫治、寬恕；祂捨性命，為贖我罪過，那空墳墓證實救主基督活著。」我唱著，也從手機中找到歌詞讓丈夫、二姐和我的兒子一起唱。忽然，帳簾的那一邊有聲音加入，是個男聲，我深得鼓勵和安慰。「當有一天，我步過冷河，我打人生最後一仗，那時死亡被勝利吞滅，我看見榮光燦爛，就知主活著。」這詩歌述說著美顏人生最後的時刻，我知道神垂聽了我和弟兄姊妹幾日前的禱告，祂鼓勵安慰了美顏，現在美顏由列治文醫院轉到主耶穌慈愛的手中，得著最好的照顧，我們不用再為她掛心了！

美顏離去後，神讓我想起我到醫院探她那一次，我和她單獨在一起，我急著要餵她吃完盤子上的午餐，她卻要我等她說完她要說的話，她說了一段頗長、且十分清晰的心底話。自從她跌倒入醫，她未曾這樣清楚地表達自己，之後也沒有，就是這麼一次，是神賞賜給我的寶貴機會。她說完了，我告訴她說：「主耶穌在十字架上已付上了贖價，祂為我們罰了。人若認自己的罪，神是信實的、公義的，必要赦免我們的罪，洗淨我們一切的不義。是一切，百份之一百的洗淨。」在床上她向神認罪，再次將生命交給神。我也請她原諒我有時忽略她的感受。想起來，是神用這一次準備她去迎見神。

聖經稱神的兒女離世為「睡」。美顏的身體沉睡了，她的靈魂仍然活著，在天上主耶穌那裡和眾信徒在一起。在不久的將來，主降臨半空迎接信徒的時候，神要賜美顏一個全新健康的身體，這身體會被提與她的靈魂相合，我們若還存留活著，身體也要改變，被提上去和她及在主裡睡了的人相聚。感謝神，因著基督耶穌死而復活，死亡的毒鉤、罪惡的權勢已經粉碎了！

In Memory of My Beloved Sister Amy (2)

After Amy’s passing, the Lord reminded me of a precious moment, a window of opportunity, which He allowed me to spend alone with Amy, one on one, sister to sister at her bedside.  At the time, I wanted to feed her with the food on her tray but she asked me to wait and let her talk.  She had a meaningful lengthy talk with me, with clarity which she didn’t have before since she was admitted to the hospital, and not after.  When she finished, I told her, “It is alright. Jesus paid it all for us on the cross.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness, all, 100%.”  Amy asked God for forgiveness and for one more time she gave her life to Jesus. I also asked Amy to forgive me for being insensitive to her feelings.  That precious moment is God’s gift to me.

The Bible calls the passing of God’s children, sleep.  Amy’s body has gone into a deep sleep. Her soul is well and alive in heaven with Jesus and all believers. One day, and it won’t be long, when rapture comes, Amy will be given a new healthy body to be united with her soul.  We believers  in Jesus who are still alive on earth will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Praise the Lord. Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, the sting of death and the power of sin have been broken!

In Memory of My Beloved Sister Amy (1)
Karen Chan

During the 4 months when Amy was sick, I had been asking God to heal her.  I believe He can do anything if He wills.  However, in the last few days of her life, the Lord changed my prayers.  I started to ask the Lord to talk to Amy, to touch her, embrace her, encourage and comfort her.  I felt that if the Lord would do that, Amy would be fine.  I also asked members in my Bible study group to pray the same.  It was Thursday.

Then came Sunday, I went to see Amy in the hospital with my husband, my son and my older sister after we moved the stuff from Amy’s apartment.  By the time we were there, Amy had gone to be with the Lord for half an hour.  I looked at her.  I felt a sense of relief and gratitude.  She was so peaceful;  she didn’t look sick;  she had just gone into a deep sleep.  The song "Because He Lives" flowed out from inside of me:  “God sent His son.  They called Him Jesus;  He came to love, heal and forgive;  He lived and died to buy my pardon;  an empty grave was there to prove my Savior lives!”  I started to sing, and I quickly searched my cell phone for the lyric for my husband, my son and my older sister to sing along.  All of a sudden, we heard a voice joining in from the other side of the curtain, a male voice.  It was so assuring and comforting.  “And then one day, I’ll cross the river;  I’ll fight life’s final war with pain.  And then as death gives way to victory;  I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives.”  It was exactly what happened at the final moment of Amy’s life on earth.  I believe the Lord had answered our prayers by encouraging and comforting Amy.  Now Amy had been transferred from Richmond Hospital to the best care in the loving hand of Jesus Christ her Savior.  We don’t need to worry about her anymore.

If you ask me how I feel about Amy’s passing, I would say with certainty: “I miss her deeply. But I am not disheartened or sorrowful because I know I will see her again.” As Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians:

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

Jesus has risen, and because of His resurrection, we have the promise of eternal life. Death is only temporary, like sleep—one day, Amy will wake again, and so will I.

During my last visit to Amy’s bedside, I encouraged her: “Amy, Pastor Joshua is here to see you! I know the Lord Jesus will soon come to take you home. But you can go with peace, for He will protect you. In His presence, all your fears and worries will disappear. Jesus loves you so much, and He will take care of you. And one day, I will come too. My wife Linda will come too. We will meet again in the presence of the Lord Jesus.”

Dear friends, Amy has left us, but it is only temporary. One day, we will be together with her again in the Lord. May the Lord comfort our hearts.

Amy joined my small group and remained in it for several years. This allowed me to understand her personality and struggles more deeply. Initially, she was hesitant to open up, but over time, God changed her heart. Without hesitation, she began sharing her innermost thoughts, physical challenges, and long-standing struggles. Amy was also uncomfortable in crowds, so she often avoided group meals and gatherings. However, as we encouraged her, she occasionally joined us, and when she did, we celebrated her courage. "Amy, you did so well!" we would say.

Later, she became even more involved in serving, joining our children's ministry team. I recall that during her time in the hospital, some brothers and sisters brought their children to visit her. They whispered in her ear, “Our whole family is so grateful to you because you have impacted our children’s lives.” Indeed, Amy was a faithful servant of God. She didn’t speak much, but her life and loyalty to Him were evident to everyone.

Amy was a serious follower of Christ Jesus. As a longtime small group member, she took participation seriously—completing her homework, memorizing Bible verses, and preparing her sharing in advance. Her sharing was always well-structured and filled with deep reflections on faith. Through her insights, she encouraged, challenged, and inspired others. In the past two years, she transitioned to our senior group, where her growth became even more evident. She opened up more, and I could see her transformation. The fears and worries that once burdened her seemed to lessen, and she enjoyed a deeper fellowship with her brothers and sisters.

My Tribute to Amy Lo
From Rev. Joshua Chow

If I remember correctly, I have known Amy since 2012.

At the time, I knew she was from the Independent Chinese Christian Church and had been actively serving there for many years. The main reason she started attending our church was because she wanted to bring a young person to faith, hoping to find a suitable church for him. A secondary reason was that our church’s meeting place happened to be right next to her home.

Amy left a deep impression on me. First, she was a very perseverant person. If she committed to something, she would see it through. Back then, in order to bring that young person to church, she would take the bus every Sunday from her home to Vancouver’s Chinatown, accompany him to Richmond for the service, then travel back with him to Chinatown before returning to her home in Richmond. She did this faithfully every Sunday for months. Eventually, her dedication bore fruit—this young person accepted Christ. From that time on, Amy became someone I deeply respected.

Another quality that stood out was her straightforwardness. I remember she often said she was skeptical of me as a pastor because I didn’t wear a tie on Sundays. She told me that every pastor she had known wore a suit and tie—except me. However, as she got to know me better, she came to understand that a pastor’s faithfulness to their calling, vision, and ministry was far more important than their attire. Over time, she became more involved in the church.

Miss Amy Lo was born in China on February 27, 1953. When her mother with her four children moved to settle in Hong Kong, Amy was only a year old.  In 1973, the family immigrated to Vancouver and attended Christ Church of China.  Amy accepted Jesus Christ and was baptized on June 1, 1975. She loved children and served in children ministries.  Amy graduated from Langara College with a Commerce Diploma and worked as an accounting clerk.

Amy joined the Koinonia Evangelical Church after she moved to Richmond.  She continued to serve in children ministry.  Upon retirement, Amy volunteered.  She served in the strata council of her condominium as secretary/treasurer; she also served at the Richmond Centre for Disabilities.  Amy taught a visually impaired teenager handcrafts and won the admiration of his father.  Being single, Amy spent all her spare time with her mother during her two years in care home.  She was blessed with her mother’s final moment when Mom passed away with a smile.

Last September Amy collapsed at home.  Thankfully, her sister and her niece were there by her side.  She was admitted to Richmond Hospital. There, Amy mentioned that she had many children. To Amy, her nephews, nieces, the children she served at church and Richmond Centre for Disabilities are all her children.  

Psalm 139:16 says: "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."  Amy had intravascular lymphoma.  It is a rare and aggressive cancer but hard to diagnose.  Upon the diagnosis in November, the doctor said that she had only days to live, but God has His appointed time for Amy.  On January 12, 2025, Amy fell asleep in Christ peacefully, without pain.  Her brother and sisters take comfort knowing that the days on earth the Creator had written for her in His book were over.  Amy went to be with Jesus at 71. We who are in Christ shall meet her one day, either in rapture or when our days on earth are fulfilled.

盧美顏女士生平述史

盧美顏女士原籍廣東省番禺縣，1953年2月27日生於廣州。1954年由母親帶同她和三兄姊移居香港，1973年由兄長申請移民加拿大溫哥華，開始在中華基督教會聚會，認識並接受耶穌基督為救主，1975年6月1日受洗歸入基督。美顏喜愛兒童，熱心參與兒童工作。她於蘭加拉學院商務文憑課程畢業，任職會計文員。

美顏後遷到列治文居住，轉到歌鄰基督教會聚會，繼續在教會參與兒童工作。退休後，她付出時間做義工，除在大廈業主理事會擔任會計文書，又在列治文殘障人士中心幫助特殊兒童，她悉心教導一名失明少年做手工，深得家長欣賞和感激。她是家中獨身幼女，母親年邁住進護理院的兩年期間，她在工餘時間都在母親身旁服侍，母親含笑安然離世她能陪伴在側，這是神賜給她的福氣。

2024年9月美顏在家中昏倒，感恩姊姊和姨甥女在旁，能立時把她送到列治文醫院。在病床上她曾說她有許多兒女，她是單身的，她的侄兒、姪女、姨甥就是她的兒女，還有她曾在教會中及列治文殘障人士中心所帶領的青少年及兒童，在她心中他們都是她的兒女。

詩篇139：16這樣說：「我未成形的體質，你的眼早已看見了；你所定的日子，我尚未度一日，你都寫在你的冊上了。」美顏入院經過一連串的檢測，至2024年11月18日經活組織抽樣檢查才斷定她患了十分罕有的腦膜淋巴癌，是惡性且甚難斷症的癌病，那時醫生說她只有幾天的日子，但美顏的生命在主手中，在列治文醫護人員細心護理下，在2025年1月12日美顏在基督裡安然睡了，沒有痛苦，沒有掙扎，她的兄姊們心感安慰，創造主寫在祂冊子上為她所定的日子已經結束了，盧美顏女士享年71歲，在耶穌裡睡了。有一天，或是主基督再臨半空信徒被提，或我們在地上的日子滿了，我們信主耶穌的人會與美顏再次相聚。

Dear Karen 
Sorry for the lost of Amy, death is not an end for Christian, she’s moved to a better place with Jesus,
Be strong, we need your spiritual teachings on bible study 
2 Corinthians 4:18 While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
