May Gong

Yes, may brother George is absolutely right on that May was our second mother and the glue that kept the family close. I can still remember the many Christmas presents May got us when we were little living in a 2 BR/4rm cold water flat at 57 Mott Street in NY's Chinatown. May would heat up hot water to add to the bathtub so we could bathe. The train set May got us one Christmas gave us many hours of fun just watching the engine go round and round, the circus she took us to and our great trip...

May was a second mother to all the brothers. She will always have a prime space in my memories. I was glad I got to see her once more just before she passed. I said my goodbyes and gave her kisses as I did. I'm glad I took her on a tour for 3 weeks in Greece and Italy and I think she had a wonderful time in October 1988. I remember another trip I took with her and my brothers when she invited us on her 1 week vacation back in the late 1940's to Lake George.
