Another great Halloween Party with MCB YW. They sure know how to make a great party! Thanks to Sister Huffaker, Smith, Wang, and Cayleigh to make such awesome activity! This year all the young women, Cayleigh, Amelia, Michelle, Chloe, and Joanna, showed up in person and had loads of fun.
Since Covid and DC Temple renovation, our branch members haven't been able to attend the DC Temple sessions. Since the rededication, Abbey decided that she wanted to attend and invited a couple members to go with her. Once word got out, other members showed interest, even the members that haven't attended church since Covid went to the Temple session. Abbey along with Sisters Betty Hsueh, Li XiaoYun,Feng ChangPing, Chong XinQiu, and Wang DanPing had a very spiritual experience.
On early Monday morning, our beloved Sister Jane Tsai, mother of Brother Ben Tsai, passed from this life to the next world. Eulogies from her family praised and thanked her for her selfless sacrifice in coming to a new country to raise her family.
A memorial service was held in memory of her life at 9am on October 22, 2022, at the Kentland's Chapel. Adam Fugal conducted the service. Eulogies were given by her great grandson, Blake Lin, given by Jessica Tsai; her grandsons, Joshua and Jonathan Tsai; her sons, Tim and Ben Tsai; and Adam Fugal, representing the branch presidency. Prerecorded music was provided through and by a slideshow of her life; a harp solo by her granddaughter, Megan Tsai; a duet of "Amazing Grace" by her granddaughters, Jessica Lin and Melinda Urbina; and a duet of "Family Can Be Together Forever" by Melinda and Javier Urbina. About 65 people attended in person and online. Afterwards, attendees gathered in the cultural hall for refreshments. Tsai Mama, you will be missed. May you continue to spread good cheer and joy to those you meet.
