As I read through the beautiful writing, Complimented even more by the angelic pictures, Pictures of Jan, surrounded by beautiful stories of love, of hope, of peace,
I am grateful first for the gift of PeiTze For her life, an exemplary story, an exemplary person, a story in progress, a story of life.
To next I give thanks for the gift of MingFai, Sure of his kind and loving nature in due to my sister’s demanding nature, of which would only be sure and complimenting of my sister PeiTze.

Love, a value of good humanity, A value of true human family, A shared humanity to which we all belong, May Jan be that love to us all, A prophet of love like all that has gone before, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Of gentle human kindness, courage, hospitality and wisdom. May she be like that Jesus whom all humanity reveres, Regardless of Color, Creed or Nature, May she loves all without differ.

“God be with the mother. As she carried her child may she carry her soul. As her child was born, may she give birth and life and form to her own, higher truth. As she nourished and protected her child, may she nourish and protect her inner life and her independence. For her soul shall be her most painful birth, her most difficult child and the dearest sister to her (other) children.

As I read through the beautiful writing,
Complimented even more by the angelic pictures,
Pictures of Jan, surrounded by beautiful stories
of love,
of hope,
of peace,
I am grateful first for the gift of PeiTze
For her life,
an exemplary story,
an exemplary person,
a story in progress, a story of life.
To next I give thanks for the gift of MingFai,
Sure of his kind and loving nature in due to my sister’s demanding nature,
of which would only be sure and complimenting of my sister PeiTze.
