Goshia Faryna with family - March 16, 2023

Sparkle of light keep shining bright… Love never fails or wonders why - my beautiful mom would say - we all have to go back home at one time… I’ve heard these words when I was in a state of confusion and overwhelm, those brought comfort to me, perhaps those could help… stay always on the light…your mom is in a good place and will always look out for all of you… Stay blessed and a blessing always… Btw… I found these words inspiring… Romans 8:38-39 ESV For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Alex Bickle - March 16, 2023

Olivia Moorey - March 16, 2023

My deepest condolences to the bereaved families, I’ve missed you already. Seeing Mama from day to day before I go to my next job is my daily routines. For almost 9 years that I looked after you is an honour and privilege, I’ve learned a lot like I’ve learned from my previous Mama in Hong Kong. I loved hearing your stories at your young age, during the war, families etc, etc. You’re one of the tough and strong woman I’ve known. I will cherish all the memories that we have our outings, taking you to your hair appointments, lunch in the Victoria beach too many to mention, it’s gonna be hard but will move on, you maybe gone but you’re always be here in my heart, we are very sad of you’re passing but thinking that you’re reunited with everyone up above will keep us peace of mind. I love you before, now and forevermore. Always, Olivia
