Farewell Joe

It is so sad to say goodbye to Joe at the BWI airport. Joe is such an innocent and kind guy and I appreciate very much his love to Ray while Ray was fighting against cancer. I wish God give him wisdom so that he will be kind as a dove and smart as a snake while he is in a society much different from here. May God bless Joe.

Two Shangs!

Bye bye, Joe!

We will miss you. Our best wishes will be with you all the time. May God bless you and guide you all you life.
