Our Dearest sister Adeline, brother-in-law Sam, and nephew Stephen,
Our hearts go out to each of you in this time of deep loss. We hold such fond memories of Uncle Ronald and Aunt Mabel from our visits to San Francisco, his generous hospitality, the delicious Chinese meals lovingly hosted, and the hospitality and kindness that filled every gathering.
May our loving Father surround your family with His tender comfort and peace during this season. May the beautiful memories you´ve shared bring strength and consolation, and may the promise of Christ´s return give you hope as we look forward to the day we will all be reunited in our true eternal home.
With all our love, heartfelt sympathy, and prayers,

I will always remember Uncle Ronald with great respect and fondness. From my earliest childhood memories in HK, during those long family banquets - he showed us (my cousins and I) our first architectural lessons using Mahjong blocks. I enjoyed our visits to his and Aunt Mabel's home in Happy Valley, the Lego and Mecano sets my cousins have, and even years later as an adult visiting HK after we emigrated, we enjoyed his great hospitality, as he was showing us some of his projects. We will certainly miss him greatly, his kindness, sense of humour, intellect and generosity. Dear Uncle Ronald, rest in the eternal peace and love of God.
