首先, 我代表全家來感謝你們每一位來為我們母親送行， 我們的母親是個平凡的女性, 卻有着不平凡的一生。 她在1918年1月11日出生於台山四九昌平村，家中兄弟姊妹眾多，她排行最小，所以養成剛強獨立, 深謀遠慮的性格。

父親在 1946 年從菲律賓回國和母親結婚後, 又回去經商, 家中一切便靠母親主持家政, 父親非常信任母親, 所以他能專心在海外經營德美 (ACME Supermarket)。 他時常自毫地說, 一生没有做過對不起妻子的事, 又時常讚美母親的節儉, 不知她是那間經濟大學出來的，他就是這樣沾沾自喜地渡過大半生。

1956年我們搬去香港，母親將父親歷年來給她的積蓄, 買了一層好地段的公寓, 稍後父親退休後回香港定居, 使我們有個温暖的家, 雖然我們在新環境生活安定, 但母親的儉樸絲毫不改, 這也深深影响我們的生活習慣和她一樣。

1983年父母移民美國, 與兒孫同住, 盡享晚年之福, 她對兒孫甚為慷慨, 並樂於助人，她的愛心勝於一切。她在 2019年3月5日沉沉熟睡, 優閒安祥地渡過101 歲。

世間天使, 是我母親,

給我生命, 賜我靈魂,

養我育我, 教我自新,

兒女有幸, 每天侍奉,

親近慈顏,...
