Warm, thoughtful, generous, genuine. A good mother and grandmother. A wonderful mother-in-law who accepted me with open arms. These are the things I will always remember. "May the angels guide you through the gates of Heaven." Love Always,

I would have known Mrs. Huey for a little more than 30 years. Over this time span, we have had periodic chats about life and family, not just about my family, but also hers. I remember how we would talk about Sue and her love life. She would ask if there was anyone to introduce to Sue. I said to her jokingly that I would have to find someone first before I would introduce someone to Sue. We both laughed. And I told her that Sue wouldn’t have any problems finding anyone. She’s just too picky.
There are not enough adjectives to describe the kind of person she was, but here are a few – generous, encouraging, pleasant, thoughtful, energetic, active, and benevolent. She was a righteous woman in a humble kind of way. She had such great qualities. I will always remember her because her family too has these endearing qualities. And whenever I visit Sue and her extended family I will see the spirit of Mrs. Huey in each one of them.

To Ada and your family:
My condolences to you and your family. I only got to meet her once but I will always remember how warm and welcoming she was. I wish I could have talked with her.
I enjoyed reading about her and her life. What an amazing person. Such quiet strength. Look at all she did in her life and what she lived through and the beautiful people she raised!
Please accept my deepest sympathy.

We never really got to talk....ever, but I loved your determination to KEEP on trying even if we had to call for mom to come translate. I'll always remember how you'd laugh and look SOOO happy when any of us would say something in chinese to you. I'm going to miss seeing that smile when we come to visit. I miss you and love you very much.

Our condolences to your family. Although we had never met, the admirable qualities you possessed have been reflected in your loving family. Your wonderful family are very close, supportive and caring of each other. You certainly did a great job raising your children and instilling them with such admirable traits. You were a true inspiration. The many beautiful moments you and your family shared will be treasured in their hearts forever.

I’ve known Ada’s mother for over thirty years. That is just a year or so less than I’ve known my own mother. I wish I could have known them both longer.
I know I was not the person she would have chosen for daughter. She would have wanted her to marry a Chinese man, like any good mother would want for her daughter. But she saw that her daughter was happy and welcomed me into the family. She always had a smile for me.
One of my best memories of her is when we took them on vacation with us to Canada and then down through Yellowstone Park on our way back to San Francisco. She asked questions all the time with Ada translating. She wanted to see everything. She walked through the snow in Yellowstone in her sandals. We passed hills with interesting trees on top and she asked if there was a story about the spot. I said of course and immediately made up a long story on the spot. I was very disappointed when Ada would not translate it. I thought her mom would enjoy the story.
While on this trip we had many long drives and I would open a window in an attempt to stay awake while driving. After a few minutes she would tell Ada to tell me to close the window. It was bad for us, “bad air”. One time Ada was asleep but I had heard the phrase so many times I closed the window as soon as she said it. She said “He understands”. From that point on she began talking to me. Since then we have had many one-sided conversations.
I regret her passing because of the pain I know her family is going through but I will also miss her because she was such a special person.

We will never forget her smiles and laughter--her presence will be missed at family functions. It is amazing when we think about what she must have gone through being in China and immigrating to a new country. We will always remember her not only as a kind and loving grandmother, but also a very strong woman for whom we have a great amount of respect. We will always love you grandma.

It was nice to be around Grandma. She always was in a good mood, and smiling. I miss her teaching Krystal and me Chinese words and testing us to see if we remember them. Those are the good memories you will remember forever.

I can't put into words how much I miss Grandma. Even though we had a language barrier and didn't get to talk much, there was always something very comforting about her. Her presence always made me smile. I love her very much and am very sorry that I never really got to express that when she was alive.

Mom had the biggest heart ever. She was always kind, appreciative, and full of encouragement. She believed anything is possible. Just work hard, practice, don't give up, and save. Mom enjoyed going for walks in the park for exercise and to socialize. She enjoyed her little bus trips with family and friends to the casinos for their fun gambling. Mom was an amazing woman full of surprises. At the age of 79, she performed a Tai Chi set in front of me. I was very impressed and extremely proud of her. She looked great and she was so smooth. I was in awe. "Wow! How cool is that? My mom knows Tai Chi!" She gave me helpful tips because I was just learning Tai Chi at the time. It was a day filled with smiles and laughter, one of many great moments with her. Thank you for everything you have given us and taught us. We love you Mom. We miss you an awful lot. You're with us everyday and we with you.

I have never been away from mom ever since I was born, and that's been nearly 66 years. She's been the best mom any son could ever have. Ever since I remember, going back to the days in China, she has always been a hard working woman who took care of my grand-mother and raised me all by herself, while my father was here working in the United States. She continued to work hard after being re-united with my father in 1953. She taught me and my sisters the values of hard work, thrift, respect and being law-abiding. We have all benefitted from her teachings and we are passing them on to our children. Although her passing has been very painful, there's a comforting thought that she is now resting in peace and will not suffer anymore pain. Mom, you will always be in my memories.

It's been difficult to sit down and write without bursting into tears. It's still hard to believe she's gone. Mom was an exceptionally strong woman. It's amazing hearing her stories of what she had lived through in China, especially dealing with the Japanese invasion and taking care of her young son and mother-in-law waiting to be reunited with her husband. When she arrived to the US, she worked hard to provide us all with what she never had. She taught us about being respectful, hard-working and being wise with our money as well as cooking traditional Chinese dishes. She was the one who brought everyone together, not only in our own family, but with relatives and friends she made over the years. Looking back, I see so many lives she made a difference in. Mom is and will continue to be deeply missed.

I remember the day I made her laugh. It was a family get together and we were watching a home video of our Hawaiian vacation. When it came to the part where I was a participant in a Hoolah lesson, she could not stop laughing. I think it was the hardest I've heard her laugh. I rewound the tape to play it once more for her amusement but I stopped it after that because I was a little embarrassed. Now I wish I would have played it over and over just to hear her laugh and have a good time. You will always be in my thoughts.

Mom was a gentle, caring, and good hearted person. She was a supportive wife and passed away on their 67th wedding anniversary. She worked hard for many years as a seamstress earning little money and managed to raise 4 children. She was a wonderful mother who taught us strong ethical values, to study hard, and to save money. Mom would save all the wedding/baby favors she collected from parties and would give them to my kids when they were little. She gave Krystal and Monique their Chinese names and would teach them Chinese words whenever we visited. She enjoyed playing Mahjong and was lucky when it came to scratching lottery tickets. She made the best fried chicken for our birthdays. There's a void in our hearts now and we miss her deeply. We love you, Mom.
