Estelle,
Reading just a bit about your mother’s life brings three words to mind – character, extraordinary and resolve. A great loss to society and, I’m sure, a greater loss to you and your family. Please accept my sympathy.

Estelle,we continually lift your family up in prayer and rejoice in the life of such a remarkable lady. We are blessed and inspired by her life and the wonderful legacy she left behind for us in her children and her devotion to Christ...."a woman who fears the Lord will be praised, give her the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates" Prov. 31:30-31
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints"...Ps.116:15

Pastor Sit, Estelle, Mary, David and Daniel - I'm so sad to read about the passing of your Mom. She was and will continue to be a special woman that God blessed us with on Earth. I always remember her warm and friendly smile and her beautiful caring eyes. As it is said, she is with God and probably teaching him how to play the piano. Take care. Peace, Love, & God's Blessings...

Eulogy given for Amy Wang Sit, July 10, 2008, by her son, David.
Thank you all for coming to honor my mother, & to celebrate her life. We gather here to either weep for her loss or to laugh for the joy & laughter with which she lived her life, & which she injected into our lives.
I’ll always remember her huge laugh. I know she is dancing on the front porch of heaven now, and rejoicing forevermore.
My mother’s life was not only full of joy, but also one of great faith, and of a deep love of music as well as for her family. Her faith understood grace, redemption, & the value of being humble.
Proverbs (31:29) speaks of such a woman of grace:
"Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."
My parents spoke often of grace. That became the name of their church. As my dad said the other day, “It’s all grace.”
The greatest honor for my mother, in my opinion, was to be called a "Woman of God", & to take delight in Him.
Many of you knew my mother as many things, but to me - & my siblings, of course, she was “Mom”. As a mom, she taught me constantly; how to read at an early age, a love of music since birth….
She used to wake me by playing Bach, Mozart & Chopin on the piano, which was next to my room. Not a bad way to wake up. Dad had his own technique, but that’s another story.
But most importantly, she taught us the value & strength of her faith. She truly had the faith that would move mountains, & often said, “There is nothing too hard for God.”
That is the theme of her life. So what is her legacy to us?
For one thing, her voice remains constant in my ear, & sometimes comes out when I speak.
This becomes problematic when I remember how often, especially in her final days, she spoke to me about how I needed to; “Get married!…. Find a Chinese girl!…..Dad wants grandchildren!”
Mother’s faith allowed her to live with great courage & fearlessness, so long as she felt she was doing God’s will. We certainly saw that in these last few months… But as her kids, we know she always lived that way. She took great risks, & was not afraid to stand against the odds, or be ridiculed, as long as she was obeying God.
She understood the prophet Isaiah, when he said, “Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine.”
Her final lesson was the hardest. The immediate & obvious impression is that we are only here temporarily.
We can honor her legacy by living lives that model hers; by living life fully, by risking great failures, & never settling for the safe choices, so long as we live in the faith & love of God’s will.
The nature of all teacher/student or parent/child relationships is to part one day, when the lessons are finished. Last Sat., she completed hers, & left us. Her long goodbye allowed us to accept that this force of nature who was my mom, now belongs to the Heavens.
[With apologies to Shakespeare:]
“And when she shall die, take her and cut her up in little stars, and she will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.”
Finally, Kahil Gibran wrote:
“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain-top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”

Dear Pastor, Mary, Estelle, David and Daniel,
Here I am writing again since now I have a note from each one of my five children and how they feel about our experience at Grace Chapel back in l977/78.
Thank you for your love and care for all of us and for all the seeds you planted in our lives. On December 29, 1978 you sent us to Dallas as we felt we wanted to study at Christ for the Nations Institute. There I met my husband Robert and each one of my children met their spouses there except Jackie who was already married and with one little girl, but her husband Al went to CFNI too, Thank you for you sent Robert and I to Cali,Colombia as missionaries in l986 and to Guatemala at the end of l988 where we were missionaries for five years. Here is what each one of my children say about their experience at Grace Chapel: Jackie: "To sing the Word of God is a seed that has grown in my heart." Dale: "Pastor and Sister Amy made us feel like family. She always gave me good advice and even told me "Dont take too much sugar for it makes you aggressive." Walter:"Pastor and Sister Amy received us like family and showed us that God was not the God of the Chinese but of everyone. They did not treat us as foreigners." Francis: "Sister Amy always had a song in her heart." Gloria (Tutti): "Grace Chapel...unforgettable church family, You cared, you shared Jesus with me and helping me to live the reality of God's Word" "Christ in me the hope of glory."
So, thank you again precious Pastor and family. We all serve the Lord and Juliana, my 22 year old granddaughter is a missionary in the Far East and hoping to go to China for our Lord Jesus. 2 of my grandchildren will fo to CFNI, Lord willing this Fall. Praise the Lord for such an awesome experience! Sweet Amy, my mentor, friend, eternal sister....I thank the Lord for you always...

Dear PS, David, Daniel, EJ and Mary,
How we wished we could be there with all of you for the celebration service, but we were out of town. I am so very thankful for the precious time that we were able to spend with Sister Amy two months ago when we visited PS at the health care facility. As always, she shared how the Lord had blessed her, her experiences in serving God and her trust in God to keep His promises. Then we sang a few of her songs and concluded with prayer together. We will always treasure the time spent with her that day.
The day of Sister Amy's passing I (Nancy) "happened" to find a couple of her Chinese Bibles at my house that the Star Family had left with me to give to Chinese friends. I was showing these Bibles to a "missionary friend to China" and we noted all the smiley face stickers Sister Amy had put on the words for "happiness and/or joy" in Psalms and circled the word for "love' in portions of the Bible. I was also telling my friend how Amy gave us Bibles in Sunday School and taught us to use different colors to highlight different things in our Bible according to topics.
Sam was also remembering Sister Amy's unending creativity with music and printing books. Amy once asked Sam to design the cover for her book "My Love is like an Apple Tree". Sam was happy to have been able to work with Amy and was pleased with the way it turned out. Sam even got paid for the work!
We will always remember Sister Amy for her great faith, creativity and her generosity!

Precious Pastor, Mary, Estelle, David and Daniel,
I wanted so badly to see you personally and express my deep feelings for Amy and you all, but I could not do it. The Lord's ways are not ours but although is a little late today I want you to know that my prayers are for you to receive His strength and peace. I thank the Lord for Amy and you, Pastor and your family permitted me to experience that you are my family and although I arrived from Colombia my native country as a widow, with five children, you embraced me back in 1977 and were so precious to all of us teaching us the ways of the Lord and that we were too, part of the Family of God. I will continue praying for you and thanking the Lord for permitting me to be a part of you. My husband Robert joins me and I remain with my deep love and gratitude, Gloria V. Fulghum

Mom and me, taken Mother's Day 2008
Mary Sit
July 11, 2008
Mom told me my first word as a baby was Alleluia….and no wonder. I came from a mother who an Alleluia mom….a woman who, when asked how she was, would reply, “Happy, happy.”
Even if things weren’t so great, she still said, “Happy, happy.” It wasn’t denial. It was simply choosing to be positive and to focus on the bright side of life.
I remember having long talks in the kitchen when I was in high school. I’d tell her about boys and school and everything in between. She would listen as she cooked –and would always encourage me. She was the cheerleader in our family – and she banned negative talk from the house.
“Can’t” was a four-letter word.
When Mom got an idea – and especially if she believed that idea were from God – there was no stopping her. Once, she decided to remodel the kitchen and knocked out a wall – THEN asked Alford Chin to take a look and recommend a contractor. He told her she had just knocked out a supporting beam. In the end, Mom got the remodeling job she had envisioned – and the walls did not come tumbling down.
Mom’s faith started way before I was born. When my parents applied for a mortgage on the GI bill, the application required them to list their salary. My parents lived by faith and love offerings only. So instead of a dollar amount, they wrote a Bible verse: “My God shall supply all your needs.”
That answer was so rare that the mortgage company framed the application and hung it on its wall.
When I was a high school senior, I applied for a scholarship that required a written essay. There were two $1,000 scholarships given nationwide – and numerous $500 scholarships.
I told Mom, “Oh I’ll probably get the $500 one.”
She replied, “Why not $1,000?”
I said, “Are you kidding? They’re only awarding two of those. I’ll never get one.””
I’m giving away my age now, but back then, $1,000 was a lot of money.
Mom said, “You need to believe you’ll get the $1,000 scholarship, and you’ll get it. Just say you will, and quit talking about the $500 one.”
To humor her, I said out loud, “OK, I will win a $1000 scholarship.”
And of course, Mom was right.
Whenever I went through a heart-wrenching personal crisis, Mom never criticized, lectured or judged. She simply said, “Learn what you can from this, and move on.”
On Mom’s birthday, she would gave her own mother a birthday present, and I followed that tradition when I grew up. It was a small way to say, “Thanks, Mom, for giving me life.”
Today, I want to say, “Thanks, Mom, for living a life worth living….for showing me how to live a life full of joy, a life where nothing is impossible, especially with God.”
Mom, I know you’re happy-happy in heaven. I miss you terribly, and will miss you every day for the rest of my life….but I’m going to choose to be happy-happy here on Earth… just like you.

Mary, it has been many years since we last saw each other. In high school, I lost my mother our soph year, and I remember your inviting me to your house, offering me friendship in my time of need. Now, you have lost your mother, who was indeed a very special woman and mother. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I wish I could return the comfort you gave me so many years ago.

To the Sit Family,
My deepest condolences to all of you at this time. What better way to celebrate a life filled with God's love and music then to remember the wonderful moments in God's fellowship. It has been one of my greatest blessings to start my early walk in the presence of those of you who served so faithfully at Grace Chapel. As a young child, I would be driven to church by Dr. Hsu, Sister Amy was my Sunday school teacher, and Pastor Sit teaching us so many thought-provoking sermons. I still remember the passion of the music and many of the songs she wrote and taught us. To this day I still sing many of the scriptures she set to music. My favorite that I draw strength the most was Isaiah 40:31. To all this, I owe the solid foundation in Christ that you set for me and in turn my own family. Pastor Sit, you and Sister Amy will always be a strong example of service and courage to all of us. God has blessed you!

Pastor Sit, David, Daniel, Estelle & Mary: It is with sadness that I hear about Sister Amy's passing. I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to your family for your loss. Although I did not know Sister Amy well, I do know she devoted her life to the purpose and good work for our Lord, Jesus Christ while here on this earth. Pastor Sit, Amy and the Sit family have been there for our family ever since I attended Grace Chapel in the early 1960's as a young teen which was my first exposure to evangelical christianity. This experience formed my christian foundation for my eventual "Born Again Transformation" and baptism a number of years ago. I know that Sister Amy is in Heaven now and is at home with Christ. While her family now grief, her good work for God is to be celebrated here on earth by the many whose lives she has touched, even briefly.
Thank you, Sister Amy for being part of and touching my life, even though briefly and may God bless and receive your soul. Amen.

Dear Friends, Sister Amy was always so positive that God would provide and do great things as shown during her teaching and conducting of the GC choir. How she taught me with teaching and guiding with a smile - what it meant to be a servant of God.

I did not know you, but I knew your daughter, Estelle Sit, from San Antonio, Texas, where we served together at the Alamo Community Colleges. She had real passion and was extremely dedicated to you. She had a warm and compassionate feeling for you. I have never seen anything quite like it. She would do anything for her parents. My sympathies is extended to the family.

Sis Amy was the only mother that I ever really had. I don't think I would be a Christian today if God had not sent her to me. She lived Christ, and reflected his love in everything she did. How I wish I could talk with her again. She was always filled to overflowing with God's grace and wisdom. She helped me to "see" God. I will always love her and Pastor Sit. Thank you so much, Sister Amy.

Sister Amy has been such a blessing to all whose lives she has touched. It was Sister Amy who knelt down with me at the altar of Grace Chapel 40 years ago and led me in prayer as I gave my life to Christ. Those early formative years of my spiritual life at Grace Chapel provided me with a rock solid foundation that stands firm today, thanks to Pastor Sit and Sister Amy. Our deepest sympathies to Pastor Sit and family. We pray for God's perfect peace to rest on you.

Dr. E. Sit, I am so sorry for the passing of your beloved mother. I am sure that words offer no solace at this time, but rest assured that your mother is at peace.

To Pastor Hong Sit and family, I knew you in the late 80's and early 90's. We had fellowship together, and I was with The Fulghum's, at your house. I remember Amy and HOng getting supplies of Bibles in Chinese, in quantities, to China! I also remember the scripture songs, and having a meal at your house. I think of you from time to time. I am saddened for you that Amy has gone on before you, but God is Good. My love and prayers to each of you. Amy is now where we all want to be one day. Bless you.

Doctor Sit,
Our prayers are with you and your family as you entrust Amy to the eternal care of our loving Father. I regret I never had the opportunity to spend more trime in fellowship with you and Amy when we first met you while bringing a message to our church at that time, Living Word Outreach.
I was honored that you and Amy attended the class, several times, I was teaching at that church when you visited.
Amy introduced us to a greater understanding of sharing Jesus with others through her Blessing Cookies and other unique ministries.
I know there are countless lives she has touched and souls she has directed to The Way, The Truth and The Life.
It was a blessing to know her even if such a short time. We will remember her and be inspired by her example while we are still on earth.
We will continue to pray for you, your family and your ministry.
Our love to you in The Lord!

I have been so blessed by Sister Amy. She had helped lay down my Spiritual foundation when I was a young child attending GC on Victoria Dr. That Spiritual foundation stuck with me and pulled me through my rough times in later years. I pray that the Lord will bring comfort and peace to the Sit family in knowing that Sister Amy is celebrating her eternal life with the Lord and playing her piano in worship to Him today!

My prayers and deepest sympathies go out to Pastor Sit and his family. Here are some memories that stick with me from Sister Amy: 1) I forgot exactly how old I was, but Sister Amy was right there next to me as I prayed "the prayer" to accept Jesus during VBS at Grace Chapel one summer. 2) The song that she sang that put the books of the Bible along with the tune to the "ABC's". I continue to know all the books, and my kids still ask me to sing that song to this day! 3) She had an awesome passion to tell others about Jesus. Thanks Sister Amy!

Dear Pastor Hong Sit, I send greetings and sympathies for the loss of Amy. I attended Grace Chapel with my wife Shirley DeSoto Farra in late 1965/early 1966, where she often gave testimony for God's goodness and health day by day in the midst of Leukemia. God bless you.

My sympathies to the family, and especially to Mary and David whom I know personally.
I first met Mrs Sit when Mary and I moved in together for a year as newspaper interns in New London, Connectictut. That's when I learned about the family's Christian missionary background, and the Christian work the parents continued to pursue. In all the years I have known Mary, I have always felt the presence of her mother's spirituality in her. I know this would have been a comfort to Mrs Sit, especially when Mary moved back to Houston.

Pastor, my prayers are with you and your family. I pray for God’s comfort, strength & peace to carry you through this sad time.
I remember well just how special Sister Amy was, and still is. My mother Vivian Lincke and I were members of Grace Chapel many years ago. I also had the opportunity to work with Sister Amy at the church briefly, and I can still remember how encouraging and welcome that she made me feel every time I entered.
I have been truly blessed to have known Amy and the life lessons and examples she taught me… She did make a difference. Amy was a blessing and made a positive impact on my life.
Pastor Hong & Amy was a very dear friends to my mother, and made us always feel that we were family. Amy is truly a Precious Angel in God’s loving arms.

I extend deepest sympathies to the family of Mrs. Sit. Although our paths crossed only a few times, I'll never forget the emotional and spiritual support she sent via her daughter, Mary, my friend, when my son was born with a medical condition. I was told she prayed for him, and I felt her prayers. Her positive suggestions, for maintaining health and spirit, greatly helped my family and I to cope during this difficult period. I will always be grateful to her for this.

How well I remember meeting Amy and Hong Sit many years ago at my dad's church, Glory Hill Tabernacle. I have always admired and respected this wonderful couple and know that Amy's life made a difference to many. May the Lord bless and comfort this precious family in your time of sadness. The last time that I saw Amy was at Lakewood Church a few years ago. She was always so friendly and a great encouragement.
