Mary Frances (Raphael) Dunham

Dear Yaya, We´re missing you and, still remembered we were together years ago in Beijing. We very much appreciate the helping from your family. Wang Ping

Dear Yaya, I finally got to revisit New York City this year. The moment I walked into your building, I thought about you, as if running into your grocery run to Westside Market. May you rest in peace. You are remembered. Echo

Dear Yaya, another year, still missing you. Time does fly and I still keep all the memory with you. All the best, Echo.

Still remembering you Yaya, a lot. Can't believe it has been a year. It still feels like yesterday that I got back from school, and running into you in the building. All the best, Echo.

I first met Mary Frances and Dan when I arrived in Dacca/Dhaka, then East Pakistan, as a very junior Foreign Service officer in 1963. I found out that there was this extraordinary couple in town, he was an architect, and she had brought her harpsichord along...

Dear Yaya, I miss you a lot after I travel back to China, and I still miss you today. My New York days would not be the same without your gratitude, kindness and all your smiles. You and your family gave me a home away from home. I always wish I spent more time with you and had known you even more and I still regret that today. I would treasure every bit of our interaction and time spent together: delicious meals together, board games we played, family concerts, thanksgiving dinners...You...
