Dear Charlotte and family,
In times of sorrow,when words of comfort are needed most it seems they are most difficult to say. But may you find comfort in knowing that warm thoughts and sympathy are with you.

Mom

I do not think of you as gone,
I smell your banana bread at the Wilcox Tavern.
I see you in the garden, coaxing flowers from the ground.
I watch you walking, strong and full of grace.
I see you travelling, exploring the world.
I hear you say "spend money wisely and care for your family."
I hear you say "hold my hand."
I tell you, "I love you."
I hear your reply,"I love you too."
I see your eyes close.
I do not think of you as gone.
I hear your voice and see your smile.
Eternally.

We called our grandmother Nai Nai, that is Chinese for grandmother. Here are some of the memories of Nai Nai that we will keep close to our hearts now that she is gone.


Luke said:
Nai Nai was very good at Rummy. Sometimes I would make a funny face when she beat me. It made her laugh. “I admired Nai Nai because she was a strong lady” he said. “She was also very adventurous and had a good life. She went to Europe and Alaska and Iceland and Norway. Not a lot of grandmothers do that.” I liked that she was positive when I showed her my report card. He said, “She was always proud of me and it made me want to keep it up and work hard and make her more proud.”


Sophia said:
“I am glad she was my grandmother. She was happy when I did well on my report card and always told me “keep up the good work.” She baked good cookies and made delicious cranberry mousse. When she lived far away we couldn’t see her every day. It was nice when she moved in with us because we could see her every day. She could watch us when mom and dad weren’t around. She liked to sit in the sun and watch us swim in the pool.


Jack said:
“She was always there for us. Nai Nai was good to me. I am happy that I had a grandmother in America. She supported my education and was proud of me when I did well. I was proud to have Nai Nai for my grandmother. In the orphanage it is sad when you don’t have a family. I am happy for my family and grateful that I had Nai Nai.


I personally will remember going out to lunch with Nai Nai and Auntie Charlotte, I had fun playing cards and scrabble with her. We used to have 4 o’clock tea together. We always drank ginger tea. I’m glad she lived to be 91. She taught me to eat healthy food and to exercise. I want to be like her and follow her good example and stay healthy.

We will be there for Auntie Charlotte and we’ll take care of her. Nai Nai will want that.

We are saddened to hear of Peg's death. She and Charlotte were "the ladies" of Charlestown. She was so helpful with the activities around Town and with the CCOC. Sov i Ro, Peg.
