Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Family, friends, neighbors. I stand here before you, representing the entire Young family, to say how much we appreciate your coming today. Some live a long life, some live short ones, but a life cannot be measured by how long one had lived. I’ve always held fast to the belief that death, is not an end. It is simply a new beginning. We are here not only to remember my father in death, but to celebrate him in life and provide him a grand send off on his new journey. Your mere presence here, today, validates his life. The outpour of support from each and every single one of you endorses the life my father had led. While my father embarks on a brand new adventure, so shall the young family, with him close to our hearts. On behalf of my mother, on behalf of my sisters, and most importantly, on behalf of my father, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Thank you for being a light of hope in the time of darkness. Words cannot express enough of our gratitude for your help in this dreadful time of need. With your support and my father’s blessings, the young family will persevere. And it’s all because we have such wonderful family, friends,neighbors and God on our side. So again, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
在座的各位叔叔阿姨,兄弟姐妹,亲朋好友, 诸位邻居们,早上好。我今天站在这里,代表我们一家向各位表示衷心的感谢。生命有长短,而生命的价值从不以长短而论。我一直坚信死亡并不是终点,而是新一章的开始。我们今天聚集在此不只是因为我父亲的离去而对他表示无限哀思与怀念。我们还要庆祝他的新生,并隆重的欢送他踏上新的旅程。在座各位的到来证明了我父亲的存在。在座的每一位都是父亲这一辈子的见证人。所有人都看到了他是一位伟大的父亲,有责任心的丈夫,乐于助人的朋友,勤奋的创业者,富有天赋的画家。爸爸开始了他新的旅途,我们一家也会带着他的祝福踏出新的一步。在此我代表我的母亲,我的妹妹们,我的特别是父亲,向大家表示深深的感谢。感谢你们的关心,感谢你们的祈祷,感谢你们在黑暗之中为我们点燃一束希望的火光。言语无法表达我们对诸位雪中送炭的感激。携带着你们的关怀与我父亲在天之灵的保佑,老杨家会坚定不移的走下去。再次感谢大家,谢谢。
