I had a classmate before in Xavier named Vicente Sayson and we lost touch with him comoletely when he left school to go abroad. He was born between 1970-71 and we were good friends... I remember him quite fondly and was wondering if he is related to your family.
Hope I can find him and reconnect.

One year has passed and still I miss you so very much. Your tenderheart, your truly unconditional love, your quiet strength, your selflessness, your inner joy and peace, your limitless patience, your self discipline and your faithfulness will always be examples that inspire me. I love you, Dad

Dear Uncle Barry (GO-PE)
I love calling you GO-PE, it made me feel connected to you. I always remember April 3 every year, because it's your birhtday. This year, I also remember October 8, the day the Lord chose to take you to be with Him. I still miss you deeply.

Kung Kung, you lead a beautiful life and were an example to all of us who's lives were touched by your astounding aura. You always knew how to drape elengance on yourself and was someone i was proud to have as the best male role model a girl could get. As we come upon a year, I know you're happy and well. I know i'll see you again and wait for the day that we can all praise God together once again. I love you Kung Kung.

Dear LORD Jesus, thank you for blessing Alice and I with such a
wonderful Dad, who loved you and tried to model for his family what our heavenly Father is like. Sure he was not perfect, but he trusted You
and is now perfected in You. When he was here, he daily sought You on
behalf of His family. In his love for Mom, he demonstrated what it is
to be like You LORD Jesus, who loves Your bride the Chruch and gave
Yourself up for her to make her, so that You might sanctify her, having
cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that You might
present to Yourself the church in all her clory, having no spot or
wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless.
Now Dad is with You dear LORD and we trust that He is delighting in
Your words to him..."Well done, my good and faithful servant". Please
give him a big hug for us and Dad, if you are listening, we love you
very much and miss you greatly! Dad, knowing that you are among the
great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, we are even more encouraged to
lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us, in order
to run with perseverance the race set before us, looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith, just as you showed us. Thanks
Dad.
We praise and adore You LORD Jesus, our Redeemer.
Bob and Alice

Dearest Daddy,
I really miss you. I can't believe that it's been a year already! I am so grateful for the time Audrey & I got to spend with you during your last month. You made it so special in spite of your physical limitations... but you could smile, kiss her and show interest in everyone's day. Audrey knows you loved her and she loves you very much. I'm glad you only see good stuff now (as Darrell Johnson put it) because it's been tough for many of us. But you see the big picture with Jesus and you continue to root for us, knowing that Jesus indeed has loving plans for each of us, plans to prosper, not to harm, plans to give us hope & a future. God is so good. I love you, Dad.

Dearest Daddy - it's been almost a full year since you "took off" w/ our precious Jesus... I miss you very much - your wisdom, your warmth, your smile, your example... and I sit here with this big picture of you in front of my computer and you're enjoying lemon meringue pie and smiling a "Mona Lisa smile" with a loving twinkle in your eye and I am comforted. Thank you for everything, Daddy - for EVERY thing...
Love,
Your youngest daughter, Eleanor

I miss you so very much, Daddy - every year you would renew my Decision magazine subscription... every year you would renew Bryan's National Geo subscription - you were so constant and dependable and you were most of all so thoughtful... Thank you for all the years of constant and dependable care & love & prayer.

In Dad's own handwriting - (he wrote this prayer):
"When I speak of others today, Lord fill me with the spirit of kindness. May all our conversations be pleasing in your sight."
May we truly practice this in 2006 - Happy New Year!

I had the pleasure of knowing dad Sayson for four years. Gentle, caring, elegant, sensible, encouraging, quick witted, humble and observant. These were just some of his many beautiful qualities. While I could write something about each of these I've chosen four.
Humility~ Although I was not one of his sons he went out of his way to make me feel like I was. I remember when I married Margaret, his daughter. Shortly after the wedding I was talking with him on the telephone. I felt a little awkward because I didn't know how I wanted to address him. I told him I didn't feel comfortable calling him Mr. Sayson, or by his first name, Barry. Without hesitation he said, "Call me dad. And then you are more like my son and not just a son-in-law." That meant so much to me.
Caring~ Dad knew my health has not been the best at times. Margaret was taking a course out at UBC and while she was in session, I would drop by the Sayson home for a visit. Dad would be up in his study resting or watching his favorite TV program. Before I would have a chance to make my way towards one of the available chairs to sit down, dad always would slowly get up and let me sit in his favorite recliner.
Observant~ One of the things that dad always commented on was my weight. I long gave up on the idea of having to purchase a bathroom scale. I just had to visit with dad and know right away if I had gained or lost any weight. He not only would tell me whether I had lost or gained but he would tell me how much.
Wit~ I remember one afternoon, Margaret, dad and I were all in the kitchen visiting. I guess I was in a playful mood and wanted to impress Margaret's dad. Or maybe I was just trying to score some extra points with Margaret. I looked at dad, and said, "Margaret is such a precious gem." I felt rather proud of myself having said that and felt I'd done rather well. I was not expecting dad's quick witted retort, "What kind of gem?" I knew nothing about gems! The silence was deafening.
Dad Sayson may be gone, but as Pastor Johnson said at dad's memorial service, "he is gone but not far away". Knowing dad Sayson for only four years was not a long time. But it was long enough to create some beautiful treasured memories.

It has been 21 days since Daddy left us to be with Jesus... and it has been 15 days since we shared our memories at his memorial service - the words still ring clear in my heart: he is gone, but not dead. While I miss you so very much, Dad, especially now, I know you are cheering me on - you continue to cheer us on. I love you... I know most of all how much you loved me... and I know you valued me so much... Thank you, Daddy.

"The Monkey is here!" for you, Dad. Thank you for the walks and the talks, for letting me be the one you leaned on in your times of need. I will miss you, and I will look forward to seeing you again. As always, I love you, dad ~ you are my hero!

Uncle Barry touched our lives in many memorable ways. He had both wit and wisdom, generosity and gentleness, humility and humor. His actions spoke louder than his words, with the right balance and perspective. I thank the Lord for such an uncle who lived a life of Christian virtues.

I will miss you, Uncle Barry. You have been a great blessing to our family. Thank you for your generosity and kindness. Ever since I was little you have always been my role model and inspiration. I remember telling myself then that when I grow up I want to be like Uncle Barry. You will always be in my heart.

Dear Uncle Barry,
You have been an excellent model to our family. You are very compassionate, kind and loving to us.
"You have fought the good fight, you have finished the course, you have kept the faith, therefore, the crown of righteousness is laid up for you by the Lord".
We love you always.

Angkong, I'm so glad God allowed me to say good-bye to you and see you off. I was so afraid I would be in HK when you leave. I'll miss your smile and your guidance. I am blest to have so much time with you. I'll miss your b-day cards too. Continue to watch over us with Papa.

I have never met Mr Barry Sayson before.
Few years ago, after getting into contact with some people relating to him, from time to time, a question lingered in my mind. I wondered "HOW did this gentleman raised his children that he had got so many godly offsprings and family members who glorify God and faithfully serve God?"
I got the answer from the Memorial Service today. Now, I know that he is a man of prayer. PRAYER WORKS!
