I remember while mum was away in Hong Kong and Goo ma was visiting Australia, I was crying because I missed mum but Goo ma was comforting me and calming me down to reassure me and I could really feel her motherly love. For example, she would always make my milk formula early in the morning everyday while mum was away without complaining. Also while she was here I got sick and she started making cooked pear for me (which was my favourite). I also had a rewards checklist for everytime I did a chore and she would help me complete my tasks everyday like playing the piano, homework and finishing dinner. During her stay I always was so grateful and I really appreciate all the things she has done for me. I miss you Goo Ma.
Love from your niece Amelia xx

Some of the most special memories are from when we traveled together. For example, visiting New York and going to Japan with aunty and the whole family was such an incredible experience. Sharing adventures, exploring new places, and just enjoying each other´s company. I also remember when aunty came to Australia. Having her here, spending time together, and making those memories meant a lot. She was such a warm, kind presence, and I´ll always cherish those moments with her. Rest in peace, Goo Ma.
Love from Ashleigh

The laughs, warmth, love you shared and showed us Aunty Flora, are memories I will forever cherish and hold so dear to my heart. Your gentle nature always made me feel so warm and safe inside. As I sit here and write this, I smile with joy reminiscing on all the memories we shared together but cry with sadness knowing my Aunty won´t be holding my hand anymore. I miss you and I love you. Rest in peace.
With all the love in the world, your niece, Alicia.

To my dearest sister in law Flora,
I will miss your warmth, love and genuine caring nature, always ready with a listening ear or a helping hand. Your laughter was infectious, filling any room with joy, and a smile that could brighten anyone's day.
Having you as my sister in law is like having a constant source of happiness and strength, a true gift I will cherish every day. I will truly hold the special times we shared together whether it was a family holiday or a chat on the phone, close to my heart.
Rest in Peace beautiful Flora.
Love Nancy

Missed our longtime friend lovely Flora (1988)

My first memory of Flora dated back to the late 1980s when I was sharing a house with Jimmy and Flora for a number of months in Sydney.
I remember Flora being a very kindhearted, caring friend, always full of smiles and energy. At the time, Flora was busy studying and working afternoon shifts, while also having to look after the household.
I recall during the week-long bus trip from Sydney to Brisbane Expo and to Cairns in 1988, Flora said she enjoyed being the only woman in a group of young male friends.
I remember the occasion when I accompanied Flora and Maggie to the passport office in Sydney when she first took baby Maggie back to Australia, I remember Flora tried to calm me down for getting annoyed at the counter officer.
Over the recent years, while I only managed to meet up with Flora on a few occasions, I always remember her kindness and treasure her friendship. Flora, you and your family will always be in my thoughts. You are not gone, not forgotten, just gone ahead. Rest in peace.

We met "Cuc Je" many years ago in Sydney, at a dinner with close friends, Lam and Kieu (Melbourne). Cuc Je was gentle, young and attractive. We still remember her beautiful smile until now. May Cuc Je rest in peace. Our family will always remember her!
