Dearest 伯母，we are saddened to learn about your departure. You have been so blessed with a remarkable health span, always surrounded by family and friends who love you and care about you.

Do enjoy the eternal joy and peace in the paradise. We will always remember your gentleness , your graciousness , and your beautiful smile. Until we meet again….
