Yau is a dear friend of my late husband Frank and myself. Frank and Yau were the faithful bass section of the choir for decades. Ivy Ong and I shared interest in piano music even though she was the expert and I a beginner. We will always remember them.

Mike had been a faithful servant for the Lord and the Church. He always helped around. Served the choir faithfully. Hey Mike, when we meet again in His kingdom, let's sing praises to His name again and again. May the Lord's comfort and peace be with the family and love ones ever and ever.

On March 30, 2012, my friend and colleague announced his retirement after 36 years of public service. On that day, he wrote these words: "May the good Lord bless you and keep you; May his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; Until we meet again. Farewell!" I will be forever grateful for his wisdom, encouragement, the blessings he spoke over me. Now I speak those blessings over his family and loved ones. Until we meet again, my friend.

I met Mike when I was living and working in NOLA. He was a good person and helped me become familiar with the area.

I was glad to be on the choir with him.

RIP
