Rest In Eternal Peace, Sifu. Tha k you for your Life Lessons and Teachings you left with me when I was Younger. I loved your Classes. Loved your Philosophies. Many Respects to my Sifu. I was Very Young when I learned from Her, I knew her Very Briefly. But her Impact helped me throughout my Teenage Years. I still remember one Quote she said during Class that Stuck with Me to this Day.

"Always believe that there is an Invisible Line connecting you to the heavens..."

Rest In Peace, Sifu.

We are so saddened by Shifu's passing. She truly was a Grand Master. "Heart to heart" she used to always say … and that is how she taught and lived. What a gift and a blessing to have known her and to have been students of hers. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Wentao and her children and family … and to all at the Center for Harmony.

5th Generation Tai Chi Grandmaster Cheng has been a light in the world. Sharing from her heart, loving us-always loving us, while teaching us to calm our minds, focus our energies, and move our bodies into health. "Don't worry" was her advice; knowing that I do that too much. I and my family and friends have been blessed to have her and Wentao in our lives. But, the world will not be the same. My heart is with the family and friends she left behind.

Thank you Grand Master Cheng for everything you gave to me as my teacher and as a compassionate person. I spent 7 years studying hard to learn and while I was not the best student, you were always a great teacher on so many levels. Not just in Tai Chi- but in life and how to live with integrity, authenticity, strength and discipline. I'll never forget you as long as I live. Condolences to family and friends. Sifu will be missed...

My partner, my grandmother, and Shifu are the three most important people throughout the sixty-five years of my life. I will miss her more than words can express. The thing I will miss most is the love I saw in her smile and that I felt in my own each time we met.
