Even though I did not know Mr Pan, I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family. Acts 24 : 15, Psalms 37 : 29, Isaiah 25 verse 8 gives us more comfort for today and hope for the future. Just think how much God wants us to live forever and how much he loves us and how we will see our loved one's again.
I was fortunate to take lessons in Tai Chi and Chi Gung from Mister Pan and feel that by teaching these arts, he was sharing the essence of Chinese culture. Besides the physical movements there was also the wisdom,including persisting in endeavors and not giving up, being flexible (in mind and body) and just generally being a good person.
