Qi, Wei, Mike, Alex and David,

We were so sorry to learn of Ying's death. As you know, "Grandpa Ying" was a VERY important person in our lives, sharing his smiles generously and caring for Isaac with his big heart. I'll never forget when he came over to our house on New Year's Day 2002 to photograph our kids. We had such fun with him and of course we have his beautiful photographs to cherish forever. We will miss Grandpa Ying very, very much. We are so grateful for the time we had with him and the opportunity to know such a great man. Thanks for sharing him with us! We will pray for strength and courage for you. Our thoughts are with you as you grieve your tremendous loss. Please let us know how we can support you.
