Dear Auntie Sansan,
You’ve been in my thoughts these last couple of weeks. I’ve often sat down to write to you but didn’t quite know what to say. I suppose there is nothing to say that hasn’t been said already. Except that Uncle Tony will be missed, loved & celebrated always. You, Justin and Jacinta must all have so much strength to realize through your grief that this is not an end, but simply another beginning. If there is anything that you need, now or in the future, I hope you will reach out & let me know. Although we haven’t seen each other often since my foray into ’adulthood’, I’ve always felt that you’ve been more of an aunt to me than even my own blood relations & I will never forget that.
I hope to see you very soon.
With lots of love,
Reign (Mandy) |

I am saddened to hear that Tony passed away but comforted to know that he was peaceful and that your family and friends celebrated his life success in UK and HK with love and admiration. I do not know how to comfort you but I am sure that you can always feel and trust that I really care. Please do feel free to phone me ANYTIME of the day or night to chat about anything and everything at my cell phone.
May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly.
With Love
Eugene

Dear Sansan,
I visited Hob’s site. It is beautifully written. Hob has accomplished so much in his life and has such a nice, remarkable family that he has no regret to go on his next journey with peace and dignity.
Given his good character, I am sure he will do just as well or even better in his next state of existence.
When you come back to Hong Kong, please let me know the time and place of Hob’s memorial celebration so that I can attend and pay my respect to him.
Sincerely,
Lawrence |

Dear Sansan,
I have just returned from Zimbabwe and learnt of the very sad passing of Anthony. I confess that I am lost for words. He was a thoroughly decent, astute, very likeable man and I regret only that I was not able to get to know
him a lot better. The fact that his passing was peaceful must, however, be of some comfort for you all. At times like this it is traditional for Jewish people to wish the family "a long life" and both Melanie and I would like to express that wish to you.
Michael.

Hi Sansan,
I’ve been meaning to send you a card since I returned to HK. I was very sad to hear about your husband and I am sorry for you and your family’s loss. I hope that you are doing well. I am looking forward seeing you again soon.
Warm regards,
Erin

My very belated condolences for Tony’s moving on. He had a good life, and, from knowing you and going to the website you sent us that the family set up for him, I know he left a fine legacy. My thoughts and prayers have been with you since hearing the news.
Take care,
Georgia

My memories of Tony are of fifteen years (1974-1989) and...
- a corner in the SCR with - always - lively, interesting and amusing talk. Thinking back on it, at least from a surname point of view, there was often a distinctly Welsh savour.
- the hockey pitch and when not playing goalie, Tony being an energetic, sometimes erratic but always authoritative umpire
- Tony’s laugh...I can hear it now
He was a good colleague - the sort of person I think of when I reflect on what being part of a university means and someone who is integral to my memories of being a member of HKU.
Thank you Tony.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences at the loss of Tony. I know it must be a difficult time for you and the family.
Tony was a wonderful scholar, respected in the Faculty and his academic work very highly regarded. His passing is a big loss.
Hope you are coping well.

Dear San, Justin, Jacinta, other J’s and partners,
Many thanks for such an in depth and simple explanation of Uncle Tony’s passing. My ma said while we were in Switzerland a week ago that Hob was fading, so your news comes with sadness but not surprise. It has been inspiring to read your occasional emails updating us about his condition, explorations of alternative therapies to complement the conventional treatment and finally his peaceful departure from this world in Oxford surrounded by all his loved ones.
What I want to say is that Hob’s body has fulfilled his destiny and his peaceful and lovingly prepared for death will hopefully leave all of you feeling empowered and strong that you were able to give him such a powerful gift. Our family is so resilient, dynamic and flexible just like bamboo. We all prove with the way we live our lives that we are not afraid, and that is an incredible legacy to pass on to our kids.
I wish you all strength and love at this time. Good luck with all your preparations for Hob’s goodbye. San all best wishes for lots of inspiration as you start a new chapter in your life. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
Love, Coco and family
