10 Things My Mom Told Me:
1. Take care of your health so you can take care of others because staying in touch with people is the most important. 
2. Work hard and provide for yourself, your family, your friends and your neighbours. 
3. If you earn $10 then you should save $1 for a rainy day. 
4. If you can make it yourself then you should do so instead of buying from a store: clothes, leather purses, food. 
5. If you buy from stores then don’t buy the best but don’t buy the worst; and buy it on sale when you can. 
6. You should keep a garden and grow pretty things and things to eat; and share them with neighbours. 
7. Let’s go yum cha!
8. Don’t eat too much fried foods, although often she loved fried dimsum like taro pastry and fried football dumplings. 
9. Always wear clothes that has some red since it’s a happy colour. 
10. Love Jesus and go to church.

Your mom and dad were the nicest, sweetest people ever, and your mom had the qickest wit and snappiest lines. I remember when you, Mona, were  just like 4 or 5 years old and this old guy patted your head as a friendly gesture and your mom said out loud loosley translated “tell him : hey old geezer don’t touch my head” and you with a smile repeated it 😄.   It will be a beautiful memorial and our hearts and thoughts and prayers will be with you all.   Love, Cousin Robert.

親愛的Mona Ken ,Golden and families:我很難過及抱歉知道您們的母親美姊去世的消息，因為美姊是我母親家族中最親愛的親人及朋友，從祖國來到溫哥華又重新團聚，有喜慶有時茶聚我們都在－起時，美姊總是喜歡坐在我旁邊，笑容滿面地同我傾計，談笑舊日的回憶，她很聰明，手織工藝及精制㕑房地道點心，她第一個👍，她織帽給我非常美麗，長留在我的記憶中，但人生自古誰無死呢？好像花開花謝－樣而已，您們𠒇女孫等已經盡心盡力孝順母親了，請您信節哀順變，保重身體，努力向前看吧！
願美姊的靈魂早日安息主懷吧！
Love you all !
God bless!
Auntie Sheila

Dear Mona & Family,

I was sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Mona, I know how much she was a part of your life. I hope that many happy memories can be a solace at this time.

Mrs. May Mah was one of the church members who met-and-greeted our family warmly in the first few weeks of our church life that started decades ago. With her involvement in the missionary care ministry, Mable had the opportunity to pray with Mrs. Mah on a regular basis. Over the years, Mrs. Mah had shared with us many of her life stories and wisdom of life, and showed her love and care for our family – especially towards our youngest daughter who was challenged. Mrs. Mah had even shared one of her vegetable plants from her back yard with us, which has been growing and thriving in our own back yard – for more than a quarter of a century! Mrs. Mah had been a blessing to our family.

Our deepest condolences to Mona and the rest of the family.

Dear Mona, Ken & Gordon, 

My mother was a good friend of your mother. Mrs. Mah was a kind and passionate lady who loved the Lord. She was very talented and creative. I always remember the leather handbag she made for me and the two leather pillows she made for our family. When we came back to VCCC, she gave us a warm welcome and took us around the church building as if we were first time newcomers. We loved her and enjoyed her hospitality. She will be dearly missed.

Dear Mona, Ken and Gordon, I met your mom, Mrs. May Mah when I first arrived in Vancouver because her niece wanted me to bring her things from Hong Kong. When I got kicked out where I stayed, she took me in right away. From then on we developed a close relationship.  She treated me as part of the family. When I was homesick, she comforted me. When I was in Prairie Bible School at Three Hills, Alberta, Mrs. Mah surprised me by sending me a package full of Chinese goodies. She made me jackets, leather handbag, and cushions, which I brought down to San Diego and had many years until they worn out. I ate a lot of Chinese traditional food made by her. The Lord had sent her to me as a friend, a big sister in Christ, an angel.  I had planned to visit her when I knew that she was admitted to a nursing facility but was afraid of the snowing weather.  So, I postponed my trip until March and now I very much regret that I lost the chance to see her one last time. I will always remember her smile, her kindness, her love, her cooking, (I can keep going…).  I know one day I will see her in heaven.  Mrs. Mah, I miss you so much.
May our Lord give all her children and grandchildren comfort and peace.
Love, Vivien Wai Ying and Henry Gok


We feel blessed we had Mrs. Mah in our lives.  For over 40 years I knew her, I saw her brought joy and vibrant sharing to fellowship and with people around her, devoted to our Lord,  engaged in dedicated services, and poured our her heart to cook delicious snack to serve others.  Mrs. Mah will always be remembered by all of us.

My deepest condolences to Ken, Mona, Gordon and the Mah’s family at this difficult time.  May the peace and comfort our Lord be with you all.

Love,
Mimi Leung
