哀思不减，悼念依旧

So good to be reminded of Ali and her inspiring life. In these days of the corona-virus, it is a joy to remember her.

怀念我的大姑及大姑父

山川河流可以使人与人相隔，却无法将我们的心相隔，无论你到哪里。我们的心永远陪伴着你。

My Aunt Ai-li left her family in China when she was 18 and spent next 80 years in America. Her story was a true American story. I am honored to have chance to be once in parallel with someone who had this unparalleled life. RIP Aunt Ai-li.

一个月前儿子还和大姑通了电子邮件，98岁的高龄，第二天早上就给孩子回复了邮件，指出了孩子在邮件中的单词使用错误并鼓励他好好学习。大姑虽然身在美国，不过她时刻关心着大家庭中的每一个人，给予我们鼓励和帮助。我们会永远怀念大姑，愿大姑安息！

Thank you so much for allowing me to be Aili's piano teacher this past year. I think we really hit it off and we both enjoyed her lessons very much. She was a very special, very valiant lady with a great love of music and always interested in learning. She would make a point of using her "Chinese" manners, seeing me to the door and bowing but not letting me (the teacher) bow in return.
I extend condolences to Jeff and to the entire family. May you be comforted in your loss.

Jeff,
From the pictures and knowing you, your mother sounded like a talented and lovely woman. I hope that the wonderful memories that you shared with her are there for you now and always. Marcia

Jeff, I was saddened to learn of your mom's passing, but also inspired to read about her remarkable life. I had no idea she had worked with John King Fairbank, whose textbook I used for 25 years when I used to teach East Asian history. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Wow, what an amazing woman and story. It's obvious the Apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. We can only hope our lives are as all encompassing and joyous as hers. Our prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. A loss of a parent at any age is painful! Tom and Mary

Jeff, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. What an amazing lady!

Jeff, I just heard about your mom's passing. Please know that you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jeff and Family,
I so enjoyed reading about your lovely mother and her journey to America. She certainly lived a life full of adventure!
I am sorry for your loss, her memory will live forever in your hearts.
With my deepest sympathy,
Your friend, Gail Behm

Many thanks for shring your Mom with the rest of us. I enjoyed hearing about her dancing classes moths agao and reading the article in the Colby sawyer magazine. What an amazing woman. Think about you all and send you my love.Lelia Bruun

My weekly dance partner for the past year or so has passed away at 98 years old. Here are photos of us dancing which hopefully brought her much joy and happiness. I created a special bond of friendship and shared with her the many joys of music and dance. I hoped had given her many moments of pleasure and dancing with her.

I remember fondly her words: "Ballroom dancing keeps me young" and "I let the music tell my feet what to do.
