"Mama Ming" was amongst the most gracious, warm, upbeat people I've had the honor of knowing. She was always full of life, and as ready to get down to work as to get down and party. Her wonderful family are such a phenomenal reflection of her, and that's about the best legacy that anyone could aspire to.

Mama you will be missed. You were the matriarch of the family; steadfast, fiercely independent,  dependable and loving. You embraced life and lived it unapologetically.  I will miss our conversations, your cooking and your loud belly laugh. Thanks for being such a big part of my life.  Love you always.

No words can possibly describe the void you have left behind. Always with that huge smile on your face and never a negative thought in your mind. You were always more than just a grandmother to us and we will forever remember you. To infinity.....

A person with enormous vitality,positivism and who always transmitted good vibrations to others.
It was an honor to have met you and treat you the last twenty-four years.

A true original! I left every interaction with Mama Ming in a better mood than I started.  Her "always forward" outlook on life was inspiring. I did not meet Mama until she was in her late 70s. And still she made me feel like a slacker! Love you and miss you greatly.

Mommy: I am sorry I could not be with you at your beautiful resting place. Happy to know that we were able to talk to each other on   facetime and all the nice things you had to say about.
Although I was away at the finest boarding school and then off to camp we really hadn't had much time together. I remember the wonderful things you did for me.
My beautiful wedding party and the advise given. You gave birth to me and I was able to give birth to three wonderful girls. My Lauren Anne, Carolyn and Sharon so your fortitude and greatness
will go on by our future generation.
You reminded me of the joker in me. Still joking. Never got to write that book you always thought I should.
I miss you dearly and remember all the good things you did for everyone.
When I look at the Sky I have good thoughts of you and on a rainy day I know the Angels are crying for a wonderful person that left us.
You had great life and did all the things you wanted and for that I am Happy.
My sincere prayers go to you and know that everyone who came your way were blessed.
Rest in peace.


                                                                                                                                                       Your loving child Patsy Gloria and Barbara.
