When aunt Cecilia was a student at Cheng Kong University, she shared her precious time teaching me math, science and the warmth of human relationship.

I will miss her kindness and gracious personality.

Aunt Cecilia, after suffering for a long time, pray rest in peace.

My sincerest sympathy and condolences to all her relatives and good friends.

It's with much sadness I removed Cecilia's email address [email protected] from my file. However, it is a comfort to know that the exit from this world is an entrance to a heavenly home where pain, sickness and sorrow will be no more. God does write straight with crocked lines.



Fondly,
