Dear Ed & the Hui Family,
I had the pleasure of meeting your mom many years ago at your wedding. Her sons' lives and actions clearly embody her legacy of kindness and generosity. We send our deep condolences for your loss.
Our deepest condolences to the entire Hui family - uncle, Charles, and especially our dear friend Ed.
Ed, no words can ease the pain of losing your mom but we hope that with time, the beautiful memories will bring comfort to your sadness. We just watched the slideshow that was lovingly put together. Your mom was a beacon of grace. She looked so happy in the pictures and it’s clear that she had a well lived life. We will continue to pray for strength to you and everyone that grieves her. Rest in eternal peace auntie.
Much love from Elaine and Henry Tung
