我爸是個善良, 簡單的人。他很愛他的家庭, 兄弟姊妹, 太太, 和兒女。 他總是給他愛的人最好最好的。由細到大, 我都是給照顧周到, 他總是喜歡買各樣新款小玩意給我。 在加拿大退休後的你, 生活是比以前沈悶, 不能隨意出外, 加拿大多倫多的冬天又比香港長。但是, 你總喜歡一家人一起在假日飲茶食飯。 當你多病了, 你也預知有一天, 你會變成家中的負擔, 甚至乎是負累, 更預言你會早點因病離去。 我總對說, 我不認同, 因為人總會老。 我們家人只可支持你, 鼓勵你, 但說到底, 還是你每天默默地承受著, 每天祈禱去化解心中的屈結！你曾在腦筋還清晰時, 跟我說: ” 當我有日腦退化時, 我會記得你和婉薇的。” 他留下給我的, 不是甚麼財富和金錢, 而是這一分信心, 這一臉温暖的笑容, 說了一句令我安慰的說話。這比任何東西來得更有價值, 更珍貴。
阿爸, 我會不斷地為你祈禱, 直至我們有天再見! 1願你能遇見你喜愛的人 , 在天上做你喜歡而地上做不到的事！😁
彭化，在我剛入行的時候，能遇見你，是我最大的幸運。你給我的鼓勵，不只讓我一步步走出內向的殼，也讓我慢慢長成適合這份工作的模樣。後來你退休了，我們見面的次數雖然少了，但心裡那份關心一直都在。願你在另一個世界，安然自在，開心如昔。
I fondly remember the wonderful times when our two families got together in both Hong Kong and Toronto. We shared many happy moments over dim sum, sightseeing, scenic walks, and visits to your home, where we enjoyed long conversations.
One of my fondest memories was seeing your fascinating collections, including stamps, old banknotes and coins, crystals, vintage Hong Kong buses and model cars, fountain pens, and Chinese calligraphy supplies. Your passion and dedication to these collections made every visit enjoyable and unforgettable.
Thank you for leaving us with so many precious memories. They will always remain in our hearts.
May the Lord grant you eternal rest and bring comfort and peace to your family. Rest in the Lord’s peace.
很懷念當年在香港和多倫多，我們兩對夫婦曾一起相約飲茶、遊山玩水、漫步小徑，也曾到你家探訪，相聚聊天。最令人難忘的是參觀你悉心珍藏的各式各樣收藏品，例如集郵、舊鈔錢幣、水晶、香港古董巴士和模型車、鋼筆及書法用品等，每一件都充滿你的心思和品味，讓人回味無窮。
感謝你留下這麼多美好的回憶，我們會永遠珍藏在心中。
願主賜你永遠的安息，並親自安慰你的家人。安息主懷。
彭藻藥劑師是我的老上司和好友。我有幸地認識了他,並在他領導下做了幾年同事。期間他教會我很多人生處事的哲理, 在工作上的知識和樂趣。我們建立起深厚的友誼。後來我離職返回馬來西亞的沙巴定居, 而我們的友情卻繼續聯繫, 甚至還結拜為兄妹。我們通過書信,後來的互聯網互相鼓勵和扶持,去解決日常生活中的憂慮和問題, 做一對交心的知己。雖然兩人互隔遠方,但無阻碍我們的友誼發展。
我素知兄長老年時患上多種長期性疾病, 後來還需要在家洗腎, 令他承受了不少痛楚和行動上的不便。但因為兄長是個虔誠的天主教徒, 他堅定的信仰和每天無斷的祈禱,也能幫助他減輕身心的不適和負能量,讓他每天能以樂觀的態度,安然地面對現實生活的難題和傷痛。
有一段頗長的時間,我們失聯了。在我幾經追查下,才知道兄長因為眼矇耳聾的情況下,暫時取消使用手機與外界聯繫。我雖然放心,但仍不時掛念着兄長的安好。
今天突然傳來兄長辭世的訊息,真令我非常震驚和悲哀！想不到我們兄妹情和數十年來的友情就一朝摧毀, 此後天人相隔, 再沒可能會面了,確實是令人感到無常和惋惜的事情,又難過又無奈！
兄長, 您安息吧!您在世間的職責已完成, 可以回歸天家, 更再不用為烦惱鎖事擔憂, 而且也再不受病痛的折磨和摧殘了！
我希望有機會與您重逢,；再續我們的兄妹情和友情吧！彭化, 永別了!🙏💐
彭化(兄長)：
今天是您回歸塵土的日子, 我很抱歉未能親臨致祭,與您道別, 唯有在遠方送上對您的敬意和懷念, 願您安息在主懷中, 在天國與您的親友團聚, 共享永恆的歡樂！
彭化, 很多謝能與您認識, 更有幸地得到您在工作上和生活中的教導和分享心得。我們的友情和共事的日子, 將會成為我畢生的珍貴回憶, 永存於腦海中。感恩有您, 讓我的人生添加了不少的色彩實質。
彭化, 您好好安息吧！我們靜待他日重逢的機會。🙏💐
大舅父，每當祈禱時候，總想到你親善的笑容。還記得有難題時，你總提醒我，要“活在當下，珍惜眼前人”。你充滿智慧的說話及溫柔的聲線，永遠在我們心中。謝謝你的教導！願你在天上的家，永享平安福樂！
表叔，您一路走好。虽然您离开了，但您的慈祥的音容笑貌会永远留在我们心中。愿天堂没有病痛，安息吧，我们永远怀念您。🙏🙏🙏
