Dear Amy,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your Mother. I never got to meet her, but she must have been a wonderful person to have raised such a wonderful daughter. May she rest in peace, and may God bless you and your family.
Dear Shella, my beloved sister in law. You are finally reunited with Perry in the Kingdom of Heaven. You have done a great job in raising up Michael and Amy in colours all by youself. You have demonstrated to us lovingly what is courage, love and diligence. May you rest in peace and may the Lord comforts you both
Oh Shella! Such a treasure in our St Gabriel’s community and choir for so many years!
Amy and Michael, I am so sorry to be away, but grateful for the time we did share. She is at peace now with your Dad, both so proud of their legacy in their wonderful son and daughter!
Shella,
You will be missed.
Words cannot begin to express our sorrows.
My condolence!
Dear Amy and Michael, my deepest condolences to you. Shella had been my role model in pursuing my erhu skills. She invited me to practise with her, reminded me to keep persistent and regular practices, and encouraged me to reach the higher standards. I learned so much from her. I thank God that I made the trip with her and other TCCO friends to Taiwan last year which allowed me to see her excellent organization skill. Her sweet smiles and sparkling laughter will always be in my heart.
Shella, I miss you so much. I look forward to seeing you in heaven one day, and we can play the erhu again–at the higher standard.
Our heartfelt condolences to all the Tang family. May God in His infinite mercy grant you and all your loved ones the Strength and Courage to bear your sad loss. May Shella’s Soul Rest In Peace.
Dear Shells,
When I think of the music 二泉映月, I emotionally think of you. I believe you are a perfectionist but I trust that if I keep practicing my singing well you will accompany me with your Erhu when we again meet in Heaven.
It will be a wonderful recital in God’s Kingdom. Singing & music everywhere!
痛失我们优秀的团员袁淑美，非常的伤心！你的端庄、美丽、聪慧和对艺术的热爱将永留我们心中！怀念和你一起演出的时光。愿你一路走好！安息!
淑美師姐，永遠懷念你. 上主賜福給你，在天國享受永福. 千禧 趙覺恩 Alex Chiu

So, she must be a woman with full confidence in herself, graciousness within, and the warmest heart.
Dear Amy,

May all the loving memories bring you and your brother comfort and peace.

Dearest Amy and Michael,
We will always remember Shella, her dignity, her strength, her love and perseverance as a mother and your protector. There’s a Jewish proverb that says: “God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.”
We are so sorry for your loss, unexpected and sudden… we admire the life Shella lived…she will continue to live on in our hearts.

It is heartbreaking and we are deeply saddened! This is for this earthly life because we miss Shella!
She is now in the arms of our Lord, full of blessing!
A great mother embraced by our Mother in Heaven!
Michael and Amy, we and our prayers are always with you!
Amy, my condolences to you, your brother and the rest of your family.
Your mother sounds just like you; wonderfully nice, yet strong and determined and able to overcome numerous challenges.
May she rest in peace with your father.
淑美師姐,
願您主怀安息, 永遠懷念你! EC

Dear Amy and Michael, I miss Shella very much. Amy would remember that we met last November when Shella was still very hopeful in life. Her passing was a real shock to me. It fell on the 4th day after my Dad’s passing, which was also “sudden”.
My deepest condolence to you. May the Lord receive Shella to his bosom and comfort you. Do keep in touch.
