In Her Footsteps…
Last summer I took my usual trip to NYC and NJ to visit family. During that visit I took 1 day to visit Mom’s (Gayook’s) favorite places.

In Loving Memory – Gayook Wong (1943-2021)
With deepest sadness…My mother, Gayook Wong, eldest daughter of Liu Jipiao, passed away on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. She died peacefully at home, surrounded by her loved ones after battling cancer (GIST) for over 10 years. In the end, the cancer was too aggressive for the medications out there.
