Our condolences to Gary and the family. Yvonne was a beautiful soul and I know Gary and all of us will miss her deeply.

Love from Allie, Mary, and Keith

懷念愛妻                              
 今天，我怀着依依不舍的心情，送别我心爱的妻子。
    此時此刻，我的思緒飛回那遙遠的年代。60年前，在中国的南方广州市有一个小女孩诞生了。在父母的四个孩子中，她是老大，因为父亲长期在香港工作，她从小就担起了和妈妈一起做家务，照顾弟妹的责任，这让她早早成为了一个懂事，负责，贴心又独立的孩子。这个女孩，就是神给我命定的我未来的妻子- Yvonne。

我和Yvonne 相識於醫學院。她畢業后，当了大学老师，随夫移居美国後，
在德州大学修读了流行病学硕士学位，并在 City of Houston Health Department 工作，直至2018年退休。 我们共同孕育了一对善良独立的儿女，Carolyne 和Derek，我们夫婦为此而骄傲。在家里Yvonne是一位贤妻良母，她尊老爱幼，让孩子在充满爱的氛围里建立正确的人生观并健康地成长。她對我的關心無微不至。当我運動受伤了，她总是把家务都包揽在身，并对我照顾有加。家里的后花园更是她喜愛的地方，她在那种植了不同的蔬果和花卉。她经常就地取材，用一双巧手插出不同风格的花卉造型，令我们的家充满温馨而又格调高雅。Yvonne 也喜歡旅遊，每年我們都帶着兒女外出旅遊，共同享受大自然带給我們的快樂。

Yvonne 更是一位勇士，在疾病面前永不退缩。六年前她罹患了癌症，今年初肺癌复发，需要口服抗癌药。面对药物所带来的副作用，她勇敢顽强地默默地承受着，并以积极乐观的态度配合医生的治疗。Yvonne 是－位基督徒，她对我说，她的余生要向世人见证神的伟大。

我的愛妻Yvonne，你永远活在我心里，你的微笑与甜蜜回忆，会永远铭刻在我的心上，我会永远怀念你，把你藏在心里—一爱着你!

Today, I bid farewell to her with a heavy heart.

At this moment, my mind travels back to a distant time. Sixty years ago, in the southern city of Guangzhou, China, a girl was born. She was the eldest among her parents' four children. Due to her father's absences while working in Hong Kong, she shouldered the responsibilities of helping her mother with household chores and raising her siblings from a tender age. She was molded into a responsible, caring, and independent child. This remarkable girl was the woman fate had destined for me - Yvonne.

Yvonne and I crossed paths in medical school. After graduation, she became a university teacher and moved to the United States many years later. Here, she earned a master's degree in epidemiology at the University of Texas and worked diligently at the City of Houston Health Department until her retirement in 2018. Together, we raised two wonderful and self-reliant children, Carolyne and Derek. Our family was a source of immense pride. At home, Yvonne embodied the virtues of a devoted wife and mother. She cherished the young and respected the elderly, cultivating an environment where our children developed values and grew wonderfully. Whenever I would come home injured after a long afternoon of sports, she would effortlessly manage the household chores while tending to my injuries. Our backyard was her sanctuary, adorned with arrays of vegetables and flowers she meticulously tended to. Her skillful hands frequently crafted floral arrangements from household materials, infusing our home with warmth and timeless elegance. Yvonne's love for travel led us on yearly adventures, basking in the joy that nature offered.

Yvonne was a warrior who never faltered in the face of illness. Six years ago, a cancer diagnosis challenged her, and earlier this year, lung cancer returned, necessitating oral chemotherapy. Confronting the side effects with unwavering bravery, she endured in silence, steadfastly following her doctor's guidance wit

今年三月起，燕文约我一起去多伦多探望陈秀山老师，后又約年底香港相聚，可惜未能实现。忆昔日点滴，友谊情长，感念满怀。感恩她给予我无私帮助和温暖的友爱!祝愿她天国安宁，健康快乐！

姐妹们相聚～温馨的咖啡早茶时光 Jan 2019

Dear Gary,
Yvonne was an amazing person. She will always been remembered for her kindness, generosity and compassion. May the memories of time you spent together bring you peace and comfort.

喜樂滿滿的一家子，永恒的回憶定格于2023年7月28日在德州達拉斯。

上个月与燕文出行游玩，順便探望她親愛的高富帥兒子。富是指他的自信与成熟和傲人的学業与工作表现。記得燕文跟我説她很為兒子自豪！！！沒有想到，那竟然是我们与燕文最后一次出行！

真不敢相信  李燕文是个非常善良和恬静的女子。不久前还在浩怡家欢聚。非常非常震惊  愿她—路走好 天堂安息 望陆嘉怡和儿女们及燕文的家人节哀顺变 🙏🙏🙏 多多保重

我会永远记得你的美丽和善良。
希望嘉怡能在与你分享的爱和回忆中找到安慰。
2015年11月22日在你家后院叙旧，欣赏湖边的美景。真的不愿相信这竞是我们最后一次的相聚……

Dear Gary, 

I am deeply sorry for your loss and the pain you are experiencing. Yvonne’s memory and gentle soul will forever be cherished. May you and the children find comfort in the knowledge that she is looking down on you all with a smile.  

My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Our Dai Je is a wonderful and brave woman who has immigrated to USA from China at the era when almost all Chinese are poor without much money.  She came to USA with her medical knowledge and talent as well as entrepreneur spirit.  She used her hands and mind to earn her living with labor work initially. Gradually she settled down in USA and became middle class doing white collar job not because of her family tie nor relationshipe but her knowledge and working hard attitude.  When she became affluent  the first thing she did was to apply siblings to come to USA. And help them to setle down there, because she believed that this was good for them.    When she was illed, she still thinked about family members including sibling,'s well being on top priority of her agenda until the last moment of breath.  She gave too much.  We all owe you a heart felt appreciation for all you did for us.   Thank you Dai Je.

@纯子 节哀顺变  愿燕文同学一路走好.
这是一个悲伤的时刻，燕文老同学一路走好.
@纯子 节哀顺变 愿主保佑

燕文是我在大学饭堂一起打饭的搭档，我们两个人轮流打饭足足坚持到毕业，同样的饭量，她都能保持苗条身材，让我羡慕万分。有一年过节，燕文还请我到她家吃饭，她做的菜很好吃。2019年燕文回国，我从深圳去广州见她，一起吃饭聊天，回忆生活里的点点滴滴，愉快度过几小时时光。没想到善良美丽的燕文怎么就一下子离开了。愿天堂没病痛，愿燕文同学一路走好

From  mandi,冬瓜

对燕文离世感到非常伤心，毕竟我们系两场同学，去年才在南卡聚会，计划下一个聚会在德州。真可惜！

From 紫荊花
燕文，上学时住我的上铺。我们在一起度过许多美好的时光。我曾经住在她家，一起煮饭吃。燕文教我炒鱿鱼的方法到现在我还是这么炒，并且教给了我的儿子。这样一位让人如沐春风的美丽女士，怎么说走就走了呢？内心不能接受。得到噩耗我悲痛、揪心，泪流不止。愿燕文的亲人和同学们，都平平安安，远离疾苦

From 张瑛
噩耗传来，震惊心灵！自三月起燕文和我一直商讨到多伦多探望李廷杰陈秀山老师和在加国游玩事宜，七月她还打趣说回广州租我房子住可以自由煮食。怎么突然晴天霹雳，难以接受！过去一切历历在目，仿如昨天。善良、美丽、聪慧、真诚、开朗的燕文永远留在我们心中！愿燕文在天堂永远快乐！

From 钟振伟
燕文同学给我印象最深的就是写得一手好漂亮的钢笔字！再就是大眼睛伴高挑苗条美丽的身材！没想到美女这么突然就离开了这个世界！愿燕文同学一路走好！愿天堂没有病痛！

Dear Dai Je, 

您的愛心,您的風采,永遠活在我們每一個人的心中.  您在主懷安息,享受天國的榮耀, 不用再为世上眾人的俗務憂心,煩心.

將來我們會在天國團聚,一同享受天國的榮耀.

永遠受人尊重的大姐,您可以放心,也是時候放下世上的俗務這個重担了。交給我们這些仍留在世間的眾人吧.

Dear Dai Je,
You are always in our mind for your kindness, love and care which unleash towards every family members.  You spare no effort to take care siblings and help them to settle down in a new and strange environment when they newly emigrated to USA, amidst your hectic working schedule and core family commitments.  You drive us to USCIS and home security office to apply for immigrant documents and driving license, though we are quite scare to ride on your car, as your driving skill still has room for improvement and you are not good enough to locate strange areas and control the wheel concurrently.  But we greatly appreciate you for your kindness and love.  We miss you and we love you forever.  

From Joyce and Ray
