I remember Mrs Law being so very welcoming to all of Zan's friends, and a big group of us gathering at the house. I remember a great cook but being forever grateful that she changed what she was cooking the night I unexpectedly stayed for tea so we didn't have chicken feet! It probably would have been delicious but I am not very brave.
A lovely warm lady.

There will be no sea in heaven... But will there be seafood?
I have known Yuk Lin, or mami (which is what I started calling her 9 years ago) for about 18 years now and although she is technically my mother-in-law, I see her much more as a friend.
Over the years, we have shared many chats, laughs, cooking lessons and a couple of holidays. I will always cherish these memories because together, they paint a picture of a remarkable woman who came from very little, but used what she had to bring about a fullness in those around her.
I will miss her. I will miss learning cooking tips and recipes from her, I will miss the late-night chats about theology and life, I will miss playing the Strategy Game with her and miss her telling her husband off for winning. I will miss, but maybe a little less, her ability to push boundaries and other people's buttons.
Perhaps the thing I will miss the most are her food quests. I will miss her trying to find a good congee in Hong Kong and being disappointed every time, and trying to find a seafood buffet that was 'like that one in 2012'.
We never did manage to find a seafood buffet and congee that quite met mami's expectations here on earth, but I know that she is now feasting with the Lord in heaven. And although she loved seafood while she was here with us, I know that she is finding ten thousand times that joy right now in the presence of God.
I know that there were many things that mami wanted to do but never got the chance to. But, as I look around my home and community every day, I get the immense privilege to see a family and a wide network of friends that have been richly blessed by the God-loving, fun and skilled woman she was. This is her legacy.
You are at home with the Lord now, mami. I look forward to seeing you again.

約 翰 福 音 14:1-3
你 們 心 裡 不 要 憂 愁 ； 你 們 信 神 ， 也 當 信 我 。在 我 父 的 家 裡 有 許 多 住 處 ； 若 是 沒 有 ， 我 就 早 已 告 訴 你 們 了 。 我 去 原 是 為 你 們 預 備 地 方 去 。
我 若 去 為 你 們 預 備 了 地 方 ， 就 必 再 來 接 你 們 到 我 那 裡 去 ， 我 在 那 裡 ， 叫 你 們 也 在 那 裡 。
我初認識玉蓮姊妹時，是在教會建堂時與一班弟兄姊妹一起清潔場地。見她不多說話，只是默默地工作，看得出她愛教會並慇勤事奉主。後來有機會與她和其他肢體一起查經，學習追求認識主，她對主有一份單純，渴慕的心，常常分享主的愛。相信有參加查經的肢體都記得那喜樂難忘的時光。Landis
玉蓮，她是一個樂於助人又有愛心的姊妹。
記得五年前當我剛剛與子女搬到現址的晚上，我們已經相當疲倦，玉蓮為我們送来她預備好的茄厘雞及熱飯，她是我們的天使，她真是太美。
還有當小兒子要上大學時，又是她幫助我們用自己的車送我們去大學。
我們永遠懷念你! Flora
