親愛的張世伯張伯母;
能夠認識你們是緣份。
張世伯是位溫文儒雅，侃侃而談；能分享他的人生經歷而提供善意的建議，是一位值得敬重的前輩。
張伯母是一位堅強，不辭勞苦，能為家人付出無私犧牲的好媽媽。她的堅毅，永不言敗的態度是整個家庭的大後盾，默默地支持著每位家人。
現在兩位都以返回天家，相信兩位都會繼續為子孫們鼓勵，打氣，讓他們好好地生活，大步向前。
遺憾地我當時身在香港，沒有機會和兩位說聲再見，但將來再見之時便可好好長談。
羅生

Mom & Grandmother, you are always in our heart.... I Love You Forever....
Your Daughter-in-Law & Grand-Daughter

To my Beloved Mother.....

There is no love on earth as powerful as a mother's love... In loving memory of a wonderful mother, I will love you and miss you always...

Your Daughter

My beloved grandmother

I may not remember your face and I may not remember your voice, but I definitely remember your love to me. I am lucky to have a grandmother like you who loves me that much.
Although I will not see you again, I know you are always by my side and taking good care of me. I promise I will make you proud of me. I love you forever grandmother.

Although we did not meet one another frequently in the past, your smile and your kindness will always stay in my mind. I will never forget the good times we had when you were in Paris. I may not have done a good job to take care of you, but I will try my best to bring up your granddaughter properly. I will ensure she will grow up happily and healthily. Do not have to worry about us and enjoy your life with father-in-law in heaven. I love you forever !

Life of the food hobbyist 

My 2nd sister was never picky about food and was always open to trying out new types of foods and rare delicacies. I believe that everyone that was close to her knows this very well. Additionally, she also liked "Jiandui" (fried glutinous rice ball), snake soup and "Poon Choi" (big bowl feast - large metal bowl with many vegetables, seafood and meat inside, salmon sashimi, and etc). 

I also remember that my elder sister-in-law and elder brother invite my mother and 2nd sister to Shenzhen for 1 day visit. Afterwards, my 2nd sister happily shared her stories. She told me she ate the biggest "Jiandui" she had ever seen, with a size matching a basketball. 

If she had not come back for winter, she would ask me where to eat snake soup. My sister loved eating "Poon Choi" but she preferred the traditional Chinese version. Once Sister Kwai Ling from London visited Sister Kwai Sun , my 2nd sister and I in Hong Kong and they made a massive "Poon Choi". My 2nd sister's favorite food in "Poon Choi" was the dried Pike Eel. 

Every time when we think of that family gathering, my heart warms because it was such a wonderful time for all of us.

Life of being Taxi Driver

My 2nd Sister was a professional taxi driver with lots of experience and therefore also had long time loyal customers. I remember an incident when my second sister came back from Canada and my other sister, Kwai Ling, planned a house warming party for her new house. As we drove there, the weather was raining fiercely, and we were approaching a large and deep puddle near the Kam Tin police station. Even though we were driving a Four-wheel Drive, we were scared of stalling the car from the large amounts of rain and water. However, my sister had faith in us and told me to step hard on the accelerator. Through my sister's courage, we passed the enormous puddle. 

Another example is when my 2nd sister, my 4th sister and her children and I were in Kowloon City, and we bought sweet buns from the bakery. As we drove out from an alley into the city, our car stopped and we discovered we were out of gas. Both my sisters exited the car and started pushing my car to the side of the road. Afterwards, my 2nd sister suggested walking to the gas station to fill up 2 liters of gas and then drive to the gas station to fill it further. I really appreciate her expertise in cars and her teachings.

To My Beloved Mother in law

In heaven, there is no pain or suffering. I wish you the best on your journey in heaven.

To My Beloved Mother...
 
After the sudden news of your death, my brain emptied and I was in shock. I feel unbearable sadness and pain. I keep wondering and asking, “Why did this have to happen to my mother?” Mama, you worked hard your whole life and gave it all to our family. I feel as though you did not receive what you deserved. I feel as though you should have had a longer and better time with your children and grandchildren. Maybe this is all gods' plan and he did not want you to endure any more pain but start a new life by his side.
 
Mama, at your funeral, I saw the power of family and love. All family members from around the world gathered to attend your funeral. Seeing your face one last time gave us strength and united us. I am so sorry I could not be at your side on your last few days but I am grateful sister was there.
 
Mama, even though you are not alive in this world anymore, I feel that you are always by our sides and looking after us.  In death, you fortified the families' relationship between one another and I believe this is what you wanted all along. Mama, I hope that you rest in peace and rest assured that we will continue to improve our family bond. You are always in my heart and I will remember all that you have taught me. Mama, I feel so proud of you and you will always be my hero.
 
Mama, I Love You and Miss You very very much.

To My Dearest 2nd Auntie...
 
With you around, it was as though I had a second mother. I remember when I was a small child; I once visited Hong Kong to see you and grandmother, and we had a wonderful time. You always told me funny jokes. Although my time with you was short, I remember all that you taught me. For example, you taught me how to make garlic bread. I believe you treated everyone equally as well as you treated me.
 
In my memory, you were patient, considerate and a joyous individual.
 
Looking at my cousins, I know that you gave them all your love and wisdom, and I know you are a wonderful mother.
 
In my heart, you are an excellent person and I like you very much. Thank you for all the memories and I will treasure every moment I had with you. I wish I had more time with.
 
Even though I cannot see you anymore, you will always be in my heart and I miss you very much. I want you to know that my mother and I love you very much, and I believe you have given everyone in the family great memories.
 
My lovely auntie, I look forward to seeing you again in heaven. Goodbye for now.

Some people say that god will choose one perfect flower in the world to be by his side. Li Lai Kuen is always giving and not counting what she receives. She is divine and the greatest mom in the world. After she left, I told myself to stop feeling so sad because even though our time in this life was short, I believe we will meet each other in heaven. I love you forever!

My dearest daughter, Lai Kuen, may you rest in peace knowing that all your children have grown into wonderful mature adults. They are all close to each other. Rest assured that all is well on earth and continue your beautiful life in heaven. I Love you very much.

My 2nd auntie, my time with you was short and most of it was during my childhood. However, I will always remember the feelings of joy accompanied by your visits. My 2nd auntie, I will never forget you. Thank you for everything. I hope you and uncle have a happy life together now. Rest in peace and know that you will not be forgotten.

My 2nd Auntie, I remember when I was a child, mother and you would pick me up from school and have delicious food ready for me to eat. You were very kind and considerate to me. During my time in Canada, you took care of me very well. I miss you very much and hope you rest in peace. You will forever be in my heart.

I Love You Forever...

Dearest Grandma,I am so sad that we weren't able to say goodbye. I know you wanted to see us one last time before you leave. For that I will always regret not being there for you. We wanted to surprise you and arrive earlier than planned but it wasn't early enough. I love you so much grandma and I believe you know that in your heart. I am glad that your suffering wasn't prolonged and hopes that your passing was peaceful. 

Grandma, I Love You forever.

Thank you for all your love

Dearest Mom, thank you for all your love, your guidance, and your support for the past 42 years. For believing in me and teaching me right from wrong and how to be a better person in every way. Thank you for providing such a warm and loving family for me. I am forever grateful for my brothers and sister, my wonderful extended family of aunts and uncles and friends. 

Since I was a child, you have always taught me how to be a good person. You taught me why I must be polite to everyone, why I need to learn how to take care of myself.  I didn't understand your reasons then, I do now. When I was young, I was always reaching for the unobtainable and when I fail, I would blame others, never I, thank you for helping me set goals that were right for me. For picking myself up when I have failed, for teaching me to take responsibility for myself and my actions.

I know I have failed as a son in many ways, thank you for always believing in me and forgiving me for my failures. Supporting me when I am all by myself in Hong Kong, I will never forget you mom. You will always be in my heart. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you and your beautiful smile. 

Mom, I miss you every day.

To My Beloved Mom

My most beloved mother, I truly believe out of all my siblings I am the luckiest one of them because I have had the opportunity to be at your side the most. I absolutely treasured our time together.

Mom, in my heart, you are my hero. I have never seen you dressed up yourself or have your own hobby. Instead, you devoted all your time to taking care of us four siblings. Additionally, most of your well-earned money was spent on our education. Everything was planned out for our future. We learned a lot in school but you taught us the most important thing, how to be a good human being. An important lesson you taught me is perform all of our duties accurately and leaving mistakes behind.

Mom, I am so proud of your courage to never give up in the face of adversity and I never hear you complain. Near the end of Dad's life, you disregarded any grief and took care of him diligently. Everyday, the food you prepared for Dad was spectacular and fresh, and delivered to the hospital where dad rested. Your love for the family was limitless.

Mom, I am very sorry that I am a workaholic and completely neglected your needs and attention. It is only when you got sick that I woke up. I am truly sorry. I assumed I still had lots of time with you and gave you many promises only to realize they could not be fulfilled. At the time, I never thought my promises would be incomplete. Your death was too sudden. I even thought we could still visit many places in the world and our fantasies fulfilled. I still didn't bring you to the plentiful restaurants all over the world and I am sorry. Our whole family planned a cruise with you but now it will forever be just a plan left unaccomplished. Mother, I am filled with regret and sorrow.

Mom, I've still remembered every treasured time we spent together...
- Your hands were the warmest and softest hands to touch mine,
- You always told me to drive safely when I left home,
- Our time spent watching the TV in the sofa overcome with warm and close feelings,
- Your delighted face when you're eating salmon sashimi,
- Your weekly delicious soup made with all of your heart,

Mom, I really really miss you very very much...
* I remember your bravery as you accepted your medications.
* I remember your persistence as you tried learning the computer.
* I remember your astonishing consideration for others.
* I remember your wish that my brothers and sisters would be close to each other

Mom, your lessons and impact have truly shaped who I am today.

My Beloved Mom, I will never forget you. You and Dad will always be in my heart. I Love you both forever...

To My Beloved 2nd Sister

My Second sister did not know how to cook but afterwards her marriage, she began learning and shortly, her cooking was second to none. Even the simplest of dishes seemed first class. Her most popular dishes were coca-cola chicken and soy chicken wings. Shortly after I delivered my second baby, my sister cooked ginger egg fried rice and offered it to me. I still remember it as the most ravishing and delicious fried rice I have ever tasted. She did this all when she was still driving taxis 21 years ago.
 
Recognizing and tasting delicious food was also another talent of my sister. She would often times visit me back in Hong Kong and would always bring back delicious food from Canada. It was my sister who taught me everything there was to know about coffee. She even scouted out the tastiest 3-in-1 coffee. Her selections in food and drinks were always carefully decided by her heart. My family and I are very grateful of my sister.
 
My second sister was always the most patient, kind, well mannered, considerate and gentle out of us siblings. Our mother even thought so. When our mother became old and needed extra attention, my sister took very good care of her. For example, she took out all the bones from foods such as fish. We were never as patient enough to do this. She always put her family first and gave everything to them. She was a full-time mom, full-time employee, full-time fiancé and a full-time teacher to children and everyone around her. Additionally, she treated her husbands family just as well as her own.
 
To me, she was not only a great sister, she was also a wonderful daughter, mother, wife, mother-in-law, grandmother and companion to her friends. My sister was happy when people close to her were happy. I simply cannot express how extraordinary she was. I respect my sister with all my heart and miss her dearly.

I met God Mom in 2004 and she has since left a huge impact in my life. Although she is not part of this world anymore, her memories will be with us all and never be forgotten. 

My god mom was a generation above mine but she never made it feel that way. Instead, she made me very comfortable and I felt as though she was my best friend. However, when I needed her to be a role-model and teacher, she was there for me as well, guiding me with her wisdom. I am often pleasantly surprised by not only her wisdom, but her practical skills. For example, when packing, no space will be wasted. Even her direction skills were amazing and helpful. 

My godmother was always a one to enjoy food so my time with her was mostly spent around delicious food. She liked salmon sashimi and was always adventurous enough to try newer things. Every Sunday we would try a new place. Even with leftovers, she had a knack for presenting it in a way where the leftovers seemed like the best food around. Additionally, her table manners were unparalleled. As it was, we were always looking forward to eating with her. 

As a person, she was very patient, wise, considerate and selfless. Her love to her family is unlimited.

Although you are not physically with us now, I know that you are by our side. I hope you know that I have received your most valuable gift, your time and I am very grateful. You inspired me and helped me find my own self value. Even though we are not bounded by blood, I thank you for acknowledging me as your daughter. Thank you for everything and I love you very much

Forever in our heart.

Beloved ---You taught us what courage meant and shown us an example in death as you did in life.Your live,kindness and generosity will never be forgotten .We miss you and you'll always be dear to our hearts. Til  we meet again.

Steven Cheung

I miss you very much and will never forget the memories we have shared together. In these past few years, you have taught me so much. You were a big part of my life and still are every day. Thank you very much for being my godmom. I love you very much and miss you.

My Beloved Mom... 
Want to let you know that wherever you are, you are always living in my heart...
I LoVe you Foreveeeeer.... <3 <3 <3
