Marigold Mui Man-Lai Law 羅梅曼麗

Mum was born on November 8, 1928 in Hong Kong. She was pre-deceased by our father, Dr. Joseph Hin Kwong Law in 1999. She leaves behind a large family. Son Francis (Priscilla), daughters Janie (Henry), Teresa (Timothy), Angela (Patrick), Josephine (John) and Dorothy (Andre), as well as her 12 grandchildren, Cherie (Alan), Renée (Steven), Michelle, Geoffrey (Erika), Alexandra (Trevor), Madeleine, Michael, Gabriel, Christopher, Emma, Conrad and Carina, and her most cherished great grandchildren Miya, Avery and Theo.

Mum was the eldest of three, with 2 younger brothers. She was one of the original graduates of the Maryknoll Sisters Convent School in the British colony. Although her studies were interrupted by the Pacific War, she graduated with honours. Soon after graduating, she married Dad in 1951. Our eldest sister was born soon afterwards. In 1954, Dad went overseas to pursue his studies in Dentistry while Mum cared for everyone on her own for 6 years. By 1960, Dad returned from studying, and with Mum’s support and guidance, set up a successful dental practice in Hong Kong with our grandfather, who was also a dentist.

Our family immigrated to Vancouver in 1974. Mum again tirelessly looked after all of us, making sure we studied hard to become the respectable people she could be proud of. During the 80s, she and Dad travelled much, enjoying their golden years. After 48 years of marriage Dad passed away in 1999. Thereafter, Mum continued to enjoy her travels, now with her children and grand children. Her favourite destination was Las Vegas where she exceled at the slots.

The last 5 years have been challenging for Mum as she had many health issues. She bravely endured them and managed to remain living at home, with the support of her children and family, where she was most happy and comfortable.

We are consoled, knowing Mum is free of her health problems and is now with God in a happy place. She can do all her favourite things: dressing up to the 9’s, going out for fancy dinners and enjoying fine wine, traveling to anywhere she likes with Dad by her side loving her and spoiling her.

Mum, Poh Poh, Mah Mah, Tai Poh, we miss you very very much. We will keep our promise to you and be good. We will always be the person you and Dad can be proud of.

Enjoy yourself now, free of any earthly restrictions. We hope one day we can be together again.

With much love,

Your family.
