Since 1/29 my Dad was in and out of hospitals (Ft.Myers) three times. First it was pneumonia, then heart attack, a stent was put in in spite of anemia and sub-normal kidney functions, then chest pain, then he contacted C. Diff. The third and last admission was for extreme weakness (due to low sodium and low blood pressure resulting from heart medications) and abdominal pain due to infected gall bladder.Surgery to remove gall bladder was done 3/2, excessive bleeding and low blood pressure put him in ICU, then he became comatose from infection after food intake and ruptured duodenum, and emergency surgery to remove abdominal abscess was done 3/6. He never recovered although he hanged on for 10 days. His situation was like a domino effect; lungs with fluid, last straw was stage 4 ulceration in rectal area which won’t heal due to radiation for rectal cancer over 10 years ago. Extubation was done Friday morning 3/16 and he was transported to our home in N. Ft. Myers. We set up hospice care at home. He was in ICU 10 days and lasted another 30 hours after extubation. He died peacefully. My Mom and all 4 daughters were with him. It has been very tough for my mother. Before my father passed, I was able to say to his ear that he is not going to heaven to rest, the Lord is promoted him to greater responsibilities (I hope what I said was theologically correct). "His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’"

I had marked off tentatively in my calendar July 7 for the Jiangsu Tongxianghui cook-out unbeknownst to my mother, ironically, she picked July 7 for a memorial service in Princeton that day.  We have contacted All Saints Episcopal Church and have spoken to the minister Rev. Hugh Brown.  My mother has asked Rev Liu of the Princeton Chinese Church to be part of the service.  Most my father's students are from all over the U.S. and we hope Princeton is central enough for many to come. Most are not Chinese. My father liked the traditional liturgical form of worship, also Rev. Brown was a seminarian in the 1980's at the Episcopal church my parents attended in Lexington, VA.   Will send the details when we have them.

Dear Doris:

 

I am so sorry for your loss.  My deep condolences.  You father was an extraordinary person who left an indelible impression on me during the short time I spoke with him last summer at the cookout.  His life story was an amazing one full of courage, resilience, and wisdom.  I wish he could have written a book of his life before passing, as it would have been very educational and inspirational for the younger generations.  Maybe that could be done by someone in the family. 

 

My prayers for you through this tough time.

 

I look forward to seeing you in July.

 

Best,

Lora

朱家姐妹，并转朱老伯母。

惊闻朱伯父辞世，万分震惊和惋惜。
记得上次聚会，朱伯父儒雅谈笑，一纸、一巾、一帘，妙手点播，顿生灵气。
那壁上长卷，美哉、壮哉。听他娓娓道来，画内画外故事，仰慕之情，油然而生。
一直期待，能再去拜见老人家，多多聆听老人家对故国传统文化教诲。
怎奈，猝然离去，痛哉，惜哉，哀哉！

万望众姐妹节哀顺便，并安抚老伯母，勿令其过度悲伤。
若夏日得余，定前望府上探望。

Kevin 文才（采）有目共睹，7月7日能否著悼文一篇，代表江苏同乡们敬献朱伯伯？ --- On Tue, 3/20/12, Zong-Yuan K. Hu <drh...@gmail.com> wrote:

Rebecca过奖了。
我看到Doris信后，心情很重，由感而发。
Shaoping的文笔比我好，他于诗/联的功力不是我能比的。

七月初我出差，这是为何，我没提及届时参加追思会的事。
谢谢了。愿朱伯母和朱家姐妹们尽早从悲痛中走出来。
