敬爱的母亲大人于 2022年1月27日 在纽约，在我们家人的陪同下，平静安详的走完了她挚爱的一生（1921-2022），享年101岁。感谢各位亲朋好友一直以来的关爱！

母亲生于乱世，但却性格温和，宽厚，包容，友爱，朴实。她一生勤劳善良，宽人严己，宅心仁爱，不计得失，无私奉献，心胸坦荡，平易近人。母亲是真正了解人生的人，走过了那么长的路。在百年的人生中，全然用行动诠释了爱的真谛，她在人生旅途上赋予生命的深度和广度是我们全家人得到的一笔无可比拟的财富。她生如春花之绚烂，逝如秋叶之静美！

母亲的人生是精彩的。和父亲携手走过了风风雨雨的悠长岁月，一直乐观向上，热爱生命。她酷爱文艺，98岁高龄了还可以歌唱和舞蹈；她喜欢旅行，喜欢看世界各地的人文自然，足迹遍布亚洲，非洲，欧洲和美洲。即使到了90多岁她还和我们一起游历了埃及，冰岛，泰国，墨西哥…等地。那些旅行的日子留下了多少欢声笑语，多少难忘的回忆。朋友们都说母亲是有福气的人，有这么多儿女子孙照顾和陪伴。但我们又何尝不是有福之人，因为母亲也陪伴了我们那么多的岁月，留给我们那么多的欢乐和爱恋。这是我们整个家族的福气。她顽强的生命意志力和热爱生活，关爱他人的精神将永远影响和指引着我们。

母亲的爱如春之雨，滋润我们成长；母亲的爱如夏之风，给我们以热情；母亲的爱如秋之实，予我们能量；母亲的爱如冬之阳光，送我们温暖。“父兮生我，母兮鞠我，拊我畜我，长我育我，顾我复我”。往事依稀，泪眼朦胧，千言万语，道不尽的思念。花落逢春可再开？！虽然我们不舍，但我们知道慈母驾鹤西去，去陪伴父亲了。感谢父母亲的养育之恩！给你们最深的爱和眷恋！
