Dearest Maisie, for 30 years you took care of me and the boys, yet you only let us take care of you for 10 months. You have helped so many people for so many years and the community rallied around to help us during this difficult journey. You endured the pains and sufferings so everyone around you can learn the true meaning of love, care, and compassion. I do not want to say good-bye, only to say see-you-later. Your spirit will be always with us. Love Always,

Transcribe a poem to remember Maisie

Where are you in tonight?
No matter where you are you're not alone.
If you are stars
We appreciate your blinking
If you are moonlight
We feel your warmth
If you are---------
So many if are our blessings
You are a bodhisattva and an angel
Forever in our heart
Thank you to lead me planted well seeds in mind, left with many beautiful memories.

It's a great honor to know Maisie. I had great privileges to witness some parts of her life: seeing how she devoted to her two sons and later graciously stepped into the role of mother-in-law; seeing how she deeply connected with her lifelong partner and husband; seeing how she contributed to the FoodBank, Meals on Wheel and women's shelter for years; seeing how she consistently practiced the environmental protection aspect of the Tzu Chi belief; seeing how she helped everyone in need, including myself; of course, seeing how my family wolfed down her banana bread and red bean rice cake.
I'll forever cherish the memory of those three-hour rides that I shared with her during our meal deliveries.
