Aunt Lily will always be remembered as one of the kindest people I know. She always had a smile on her face. She would always ask how me and my siblings and family were doing and she would always ask by their names. Even though there was a little language barrier with us, she would always ask and listen. She was a hard working lady. I remembered working with her at China House when i was about 15 or 16 and she was working hard cooking in the hot kitchen with a towel around her neck. She will be missed, but never forgotten and her legacy will live on with her three wonderful children and family members. I love and miss you Auntie.
