My beloved mother passed away on 5/5/08 at 9:30 am. I was home in Penang attending her funeral.

This morning, my family and I spent Mother’s Day picking up her cremated remains…it’s the 7th day since her demise (头七).

To my dearest mother—I wanted to let you know that everyone in the family loves you very very much and that we will always miss you sorely.

亲爱的妈妈，我们将会永远怀念您。
