18 Sep 2011 – Condolences to Auntie Winnie&family
Sat: received sad words that cousin Desmond LAM, passed away Fri 16 Sep in HI – RIP to him. He was eldest son of 12th uncle John LAM and auntie Winnie who immigrated to Honolulu/HI in the 1960s. Des has been battling with cancer for a couple of years and my last visit with him was Oct 2010. Was hoping to see him before the year is over, but alas it is not to be so. Prayers and thoughts for him and his family in HI.
Tkx to May&Albert for delicious dinner@Ise Japanese Restaurant***on 49st. A lovely evening stroll to Rockefeller Plaza to complete the Sat in NY.
Sun: The High Line is a 1-mile/1.6km built on a 1.45-mile/2.33km section of the former elevated freight railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway. Started the walk on this beautiful morning from King St at 07.15hrs and back 10.30hrs with a stop at Amy’s Bread!
Flight to CAE leaves this evening, so to clean the mess I have left in King St and to pack. Appreciations and gratitude to Pat, Albert, Kiera and to Kat & Greg for putting me up and for all their hospitality.
My prayers are with Desmond’s friends and family. His love for his family and the Lord will help carry us all through this hard time. He was a dear friend to me and will be missed.
