Yuet-Yuen Mak

I have only known Yuet-Yuen Mak for about six years after she had cancer. She came to our home in August 2000 with a common friend whom we have known for 32 years. Both of them were learning to sketch from my husband. At that time I was looking for an editor, God used Yuen to open the way. This was a very important chapter in my life -facilitated by Yuen. I always remember her and appreciate what she has done.

Yeun was a sincere person who valued God, life and relationships more than herself. She was my English student at CMHC and God made us friends thereafter to the hereafter. She will be always thoguht of fondly. I told her to reserve us a place in heaven beside her. 'To everything there is a purpose'and God's timing is not always our timing....

Mak,

Thank you for your friendship, your positive outlook, the courage you showed.

Thank you for the many good times we had together and going out for dinner with our common friends.

May you rest in peace, I will miss you.

Let's also celebrate Yuen's life! She was a mischievous lady, good at giving nicknames, she called me Manager Lau 'Lau Ging Lei' cause my husband has a retail store, she also called another friend 'Owner xx', 'xx Lo Ban' cause that friend has a business. One time when I complained to her that my doctor was not giving me the quick and fast medication, she labelled me 'Instant Gratification Lady', 'Gup Gong Gun Lei', she always teased me with that name, well, for the last 10 years! I also remember that time at her apt., we 'tried' to help each other colour our hair, we were both newbies to hair colouring then, we had a great time! Yuen was a funny lady!!!

Sister/Auntie Four,

We'll always remember how you share your love with us. And you will stay in our memories forever.

Rest in peace.

4E,

Thank you. Miss you. Love you.

Ki and Grace

Yuet Yuen,



I miss you very much



Brother-in-law

4E



We will miss you very much.

Yuen, it is with sadness to hear of your passing. I remember the lunch time walks we used to do with Moe and Ann Kong, to revitialize our spirits for the afternoon. You will be missed very much.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Otto & Miriam.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Suffering no more, weeping no more, no more sorrows shall you find. God's love and mercy are embracing; everlasting joy and peace are you enjoying now. Resting in the Heavenly Home, shall you shout joyfully "It Is Well" to be with Christ Jesus your Saviour, your Love One.

4E



We will miss you very much.

Our Dearest 4E,

Miss you and you always in our

mind.

A Woman of the Beatitudes

For my friend, Yuet Yeun Mak.



As the sorrowful friends below gather

To say goodbye, the saints above prepare

To welcome with joy a sweet kinddred soul.

She walked the earth gently, leaving behind

Only soft footprints for us to look for,

To trace - a trail of the beatitudes.



Whenever I think of her, I recall

The beatitudes taught in the Bible.

Unbeknownst to her, she mirrored for me

The blessed states of spiritual wellness,

In spite of her lingering illnesses -

A woman of the beatitudes.



Always poor in spirit and pure in heart,

Often mournful, never self-sufficient

Nor prideful, she found the Kindom of God.

That she knew so well, was not recompense -

Not something earned, but a precious gift given

By the God of the beatitudes.



She was in disposition meek and mild.

She treated people with grace and kindness.

Typically, with her sweet smile, soft gaze,

And quiet understanding, she cheered us on,

Eased our burdens and comforted us well -

Sharing the beatitudes.



Whnever I think of her, I recall

The beatitudes taught in the Gospels.

Unbeknownst to her, she has taught me

Many a lesson of quiet suffering,

Being merciful and living in peace.

I shall miss this beatitude woman.



As the loving friends below gather

To wave goodbye, she is walking gently

In a far better place, at last, well and free

Amongst the saintly crowds, leaving behind

Only soft footprints while basking in

Ultimate wellness, the beatitudes.

Hello Yuen, it seems I will see you again but you have been taken away from us. Remember when you were pressed for deadlines, how I prodded you to think .... tomorrow is another day.

And now, for you tomorrow is eternity

you will spend in the presence of God.

So long dear friend!

Mak was a kind and gentle friend. I shall miss her.

I enjoyed work with Yeun and will miss her greatly.

Our deepest sympathy to Yuen's family. Throughout her long ordeal, Yuen's unfailing courage, faith and positive outlook on life have been a great inspiration to all who knew her.



Yuen, we will miss you very, very much.

To dear Yuen who shared tea time with me at CMHC, cheers, and may you rest in peace. Your love made this world a better place. Doris

May the happy memories of Mak bring you comfort throughout this time of sorrow.

We will miss her very much.

4E,

Rest in peace.

You are always on my mind.

Our condolences to the Mak's family. Our prayers and thoughts are with them.

Karin and Patrick Yu, Hong Kong.
