Gui Zhang

Gui Zhang, born on September 24, 1964, peacefully passed away on February 28, 2026.

Earlier in her career, Gui worked as a nurse, where she formed special bonds with her patients, showcasing her compassionate and brilliant nature. She later transitioned to a career as a lab technician in various departments at UGA where she was a mentor to many and displayed an outstanding work ethic. She was sacrificial, always putting her children first, but it was easy because her greatest joy in life was being a mother. She was unbelievably kind, the type of person to put others’ needs before her own and treat everyone in her life as if they were family. She was known for her humor, often making others laugh without even realizing it. A devoted follower of Jesus, Gui loved life, living every day to its fullest. Her family and friends describe Gui as an angel, reflecting her gentle spirit and nurturing heart.

Gui Zhang is survived by her devoted husband, Jian Hu; her children, Tom Hu (Hana Lorin), Anne Hu, and Jenny Hu; her father, Shao Qing Zhang; sisters Qi Zhang and Xing Zhang; brother Hong Bing Zhang; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Qian Lu Yang, and her sister, Xiu Zhang.

Visitation will be held on March 7, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a Funeral Service at 12:00 PM at Lord & Stephens Funeral Homes Watkinsville, located at 1211 Jimmy Daniel Road, Watkinsville, GA 30677.

Eulogy

Tom Hu

颂词：我的妈妈

儿子：Tom Hu

Good morning. My name is Tom Hu, and I am Gui’s son. Thank you all for being here this morning with my family and sharing this time with us.

If my mother were standing here today, she would greet each of you with a hug and that big, warm smile of hers. She had a way of making everyone feel like family.

In the next few minutes, I would like to share a few stories of my mother’s remarkable life. A life full of struggle, perseverance, laughter, humility, and unwavering faith.

My mother grew up in a rural region of Sichuan Province. Her early life was not easy. She was one of five children in a household supported by a single parent’s income. Resources were limited. Expectations were low.

She worked manual labor jobs while attending school. She cared for her baby sister, even during school hours. Despite every challenge, she excelled. She became the only girl in her middle school to attend high school and later, nursing school.

When she received her first paycheck as a nurse, she bought half of a watermelon. Just half. And she brought it home to share with her family. That was who she was. Even in her first success, her instinct was to give.

She often said, “Challenges are just hills that we need to walk over.” She never complained about how steep the hill was. She simply walked.

And she walked many hills.

She raised three children, an adolescent, a toddler, and an infant simultaneously, in a city she had just moved to, while working full-time. During that time, my father was 1,200 miles away in North Dakota. She carried that weight quietly. Well…except when Anne and I would fight. And even after my father returned to Dallas, she continued to do it all — dropping off my sisters, working full-time, cooking dinner every night.

And how she did all that…well for one thing… she drove fast. Very fast.

You would think that being pulled in so many directions, by children, work, and responsibilities, would leave no room for anything else. But many of you here know that wasn’t true.

If you called her, she came. Immediately. It didn’t matter the time of day. It didn’t matter if one of her kids was sitting in the backseat. If you needed help, she was there.

She was your sister. Your aunt. Your friend. Your family.

She gave without calculation. She loved without condition.

And above all, she never let life get in the way of her faith.

Even during her hospitalizations, entangled by monitor wires, woken by lab draws and vital checks, tripped by chest tube, she prayed. Her Bible was filled with underlines and scribbles. Stacks of notebooks were filled with her reflections and prayers. God was her foundation.

It is an indescribable experience to watch your mother take her last breath. It leaves you with a silence that feels too heavy to carry. There is a cycle of crying and heartache that takes your breath away.

God blessed us with nearly 20 months after her original cancer diagnosis. Twenty months that we are deeply grateful for. But to us, it still does not feel like enough.

I wish she could still be with us, even a bit longer, but she was hurting. In fact, she toughed through multiple procedures, drug side effects, lonely hours of misery just to be with us longer.

I miss her. We miss her.

With her gone, our family feels quieter. Emptier. Colder.

But we also know this: because she is in Heaven, Heaven is no longer a distant or unfamiliar place. It is where she is. She is waiting for us, waiting for us to return when we finish our work here on earth.

She will greet us with that same big smile. She will hug us tightly. She will brush our hair.

Thank you again for being here today. Thank you for loving my mother. And thank you for honoring her life with us.

（中文译文）

早上好。我叫胡汤姆，是瑰的儿子。感谢各位今天早上能来和我的家人一起度过这段时光。

如果我母亲今天站在这里，她一定会给你们每一个人一个拥抱，并露出她那温暖灿烂的笑容。她总能让每个人都感到宾至如归。

接下来几分钟，我想和大家分享一些我母亲非凡的人生故事。她的一生充满了奋斗、坚韧、欢笑、谦逊和坚定的信仰。

我的母亲在四川省的一个农村长大。她的童年并不轻松。她是家中五个孩子之一，靠父亲的单一收入养家糊口。资源匮乏，人们对她的期望也很低。

她一边打零工一边上学。即使在上课时间，她也要照顾年幼的妹妹。尽管面临重重挑战，她依然取得了优异的成绩。她是中学里唯一一个考上高中，后来又考上护理学校的女生。

当她拿到第一份护士工资时，她只买了半个西瓜。就半个。然后她把它带回家和家人分享。她就是这样的人。即使在她初尝成功的滋味时，她的本能依然是给予。

她常说：“挑战就像山丘，我们必须走过去。”她从不抱怨山丘有多陡峭。她只是默默地走过去。她走过了无数座山丘。

她在刚搬到的德州达拉斯，一边全职工作，一边同时抚养三个孩子——一个青少年、一个幼儿和一个婴儿。那时，我的父亲远在1200英里外的北达科他州。她默默地承担着这一切。嗯……除了我和安妮吵架的时候。即使父亲回到达拉斯后，她依然独自承担着这一切——接送我的妹妹们，全职工作，每天晚上做晚饭。

她是怎么做到这一切的呢……嗯，其中一个原因……她开车很快。非常快。

你或许会觉得，被孩子、工作和各种责任牵扯得焦头烂额，她应该没有时间顾及其它。但你们中的许多人都知道，事实并非如此。

只要你给她打电话，她就会立刻赶来。无论白天黑夜，无论后座上是否坐着她的孩子，只要你需要帮助，她都会出现。

她是你的姐妹，你的姑姑，你的朋友，你的家人。

她无私奉献，无条件地爱着你。

最重要的是，她从未让生活动摇过她的信仰。

即使在住院期间，被各种监护仪的管线缠绕，被抽血和生命体征检查吵醒，被胸管绊倒，她依然祈祷。她的圣经上满是划线和笔记，一摞摞的笔记本里记录着她的灵修和祷告。上帝是她生命的支柱。

亲眼目睹母亲咽下最后一口气，那种感觉难以言喻。它留下的沉默，沉重得令人难以承受。哭泣和心碎的循环往复，令人窒息。

在她最初被确诊癌症后，上帝又赐予了我们近20个月的时光。我们对此深怀感激。但对我们来说，这仍然远远不够。

我多么希望她还能陪伴我们，哪怕只是多待一会儿，但她饱受病痛折磨。事实上，她忍受了无数次手术、药物的副作用，以及无数个孤独痛苦的时光，只为了能多陪陪我们。

我想念她。我们想念她。

她的离去，让我们的家庭变得更加寂静，更加空虚，更加冰冷。

但我们也明白：因为她已在天堂，天堂不再遥远或陌生。那里就是她所在的地方。她正在等待着我们，等待着我们完成尘世的使命后回到她身边。

她会用她那灿烂的笑容迎接我们。她会紧紧地拥抱我们。她会为我们梳理头发。

再次感谢你们今天能来。感谢你们爱我的母亲。感谢你们与我们一起缅怀她的一生。

张瑰姐妹追思礼拜证道

题目： 在耶和华眼中，看圣民之死极为宝贵

林在名牧師

各位朋友，弟兄姊妹我们今天在此聚集纪念也庆祝张瑰姐妹的一生。她是胡建的贤内助，是Tom（&Hana），Anne，Jenny 慈祥伟大的母亲，上帝所爱的女儿，工作上的好同事，教会中大家的好姐妹，社区的好邻居。

凡事都有定期，天下万务都有定时。生有时，死有时；栽种有时，拔出所栽种的也有时 《传道书》3:1-2。我们曾经多么希望，张瑰姐妹的那时候越晚越好，但是神的旨意最美善，最美好，并且她不是空手见主，深深知道她如《提摩太后书》4:6-8a 所说的”我现在被浇奠，我离世的时候到了。那美好的仗我已经打过了，当跑的路我已经跑尽了，所信的道我已经守住了。从此以后，有公义的冠冕为我存留…”。

张瑰姊妹是一个做事脚踏实地，非常有组织能力的姐妹，记得有一次教会感恩节聚餐是她负责，带着一群姐妹，烤了好几只火鸡，让大家享受了美味的火鸡大餐。她常常笑容满面，生活中外表看起来好像是没有难题，没有忧虑，因为先生、儿子是医生，大女儿在医学院就读，这学期就要毕业了，小女儿在Georgia Tech念书，自己也有一份很好的职业。你以为她是因为这些事情才春风满面吗？

其实她身体不舒服时候仍带着微笑，师母和我会问她身体的状况，她毫不隐瞒说，比较累，呼吸比较困难，不顺畅，心跳就很快，就算吃了药，休息都还在100以上。可是当我们见到她本人的时候，脸上就是看不到一点痛苦的表情，那时我才了解到，她的生命就是充满了不能被夺去的喜乐，叫人看了心痛，又感到神在人里面的大能真是奇妙。

有一次，我站在讲台上，那时候大家正在唱三一颂（Doxology），很多人知道，这是我们教会在敬拜结束前，每次都会唱的一首很古老，很短，曲调旋律四平八稳，称颂神的诗歌。唱多了，唱久了的歌，有的时候会唱的有口无心，不知道在唱什么。其实那时我来教会时间不久，我无意的往台下一看，就看到第二排的张瑰姐妹，身体左右摇动，双手半举，以敬虔的心态姿势，真诚地唱出“赞美圣父圣子圣灵 阿门” 当下，我的心非常的受感动。

在她身体不适期间，她一方面会说，我已经准备好，我期待那个荣耀的日子，有天使来接我，到天家去，我一点都不害怕。同时，她也愿意接受各样医学上的治疗，即使有些疗法，后来发现对她没有帮助，她也毫无怨言，愿意继续尝试新的疗法。知道自己需要营养，味口很差的情况下，仍然努力地吃。

另外她也相信神绝对可以医治她，她说，我知道一切都在神手里，靠神一步一步地走。神的话语、弟兄姊妹的祈祷就是医治我的最好良药。我始终牢记主耶稣基督告诉在风暴中、在病痛中祂的儿女：“不要怕、只要信” 祂必为我们成就大事。请继续为我向我们的神祈祷，求祂怜悯，求祂亲自医治。虽然张瑰已离开我们的日常生活，但她将永远活在我们的思念和记忆中。感谢上帝，让我们有幸认识她，拥有她，陪伴我们走过一段时间。

张瑰在生前，她承认，没有办法达到神的标准，自己想做的做不到，自己不想做的事反而去做，但一天她听见福音，神的儿子耶稣为她的罪死在十字架上，她打开她的心，相信了耶稣，成为神的女儿。从此她人生的道路有耶稣陪伴，心中常有喜乐平安，生活中即使遇到困难，主耶稣赐给她力量。这是许多人可以为她作证的。

她曾经对人说过，我在天堂会很快见到你们，她不是咒诅那人快死，圣经说，主看一日如千年，千年如一日（彼后 3:8）。她的意思，她在天上与耶稣在一起，非常快乐，快乐的时光过的特别快，世上的百年的时间，在天上好像才过了2,3个钟头。她和耶稣对于在座所有的人，有一个同样的希望，就是不愿有一人沉沦，乃愿人人都悔改（彼后 3:9）得救。以后可以和她在天上相见。

祷告: 主啊，祢眼中看圣民之死，何等宝贵，祢必接她到荣耀里。祢的心曾为她沉重，感到痛苦，祢与爱张瑰姐妹的人一同哀哭，我们心中就因此得安慰。求安慰人的圣灵与张瑰姐妹亲爱的家人同在，也与我们每位同在，奉主耶稣的圣名祈求，阿们。

题目：瑰和我

张坚 姐妹

我叫张坚。 她叫张瑰。一看这名字就连想到这是姐妹俩，而且她先生叫胡建（ 当然和我不是同一个坚， 我是坚强的坚， 他是建设的建，但拼音都是jian） ， 这名字成就了我和张瑰的渊源， 就像是异地出生的亲姐俩。理智告诉我今天在这里不能哭，因为张瑰妹妹希望我们开开心心地笑着送她回天家，而不是在哭声中送她。

自从上周五与张瑰话别后，我一直不能抑制心中的悲痛，心像被挖掉了一块似的。心里明白瑰已准备好了去她盼望的美丽家园，但情感上就是不舍……我一直在祷告，因为我们曾互相许诺无论谁先去了天家， 都要回来告知在那里所见的，就像她每次去旅游回来都会跟我讲述所见所闻一样，我等啊等， 直到前天晚上我梦见了她， 张瑰依然是满脸微笑， 开心地跟我说， 姐， 这里真的和圣经里描述的一样， 我在这里很好，帮我照顾我的仔仔们， 告诉他们， 神的话是可信的，梦中我追着她要问她更多， 她却向我挥挥手带着一身金光飘走了。

我知道这是妹妹又一次来鼓励我。让我别再为她哭泣！要说和张瑰在一起的点点滴滴，太多。今天就说一件。表面上看， 自瑰生病以来似乎我更多的在照顾她，而事实上是，她一直在鼓励我，去年6月得知所有的治疗都对瑰的癌症失效后，我的情绪非常低落沮丧， 我不再想锻炼，饮食也很没节制导致我的血糖飙升，9月，我陪瑰去德州MD Andson 作放疗后的复查，一路上她批评我不该消极，鼓励我仍要坚持锻炼， 规律生活，她说了一句话让我一直不会忘，她说：“我们的生命都在神的手中， 神让我们健健康康地活着， 我们就好维持这份健康， 像我今天得这病也是神看重我，让我在苦难中荣耀祂的名”。她的话让我泪奔，更是扎心。是的，我有什么权力破坏神赐的健康呢？瑰让我看到了一个信神的人在苦难中的信心和坚持。

到了 MD Andson的就诊大厅，就遇到了张瑰的一个病友，她们就像久别重逢的亲人，非常平静地分享着自己的病情， 互相鼓励着加油， 拥抱后道别！当见医生时，她说，“我做了自己能做的，神说治疗的事交给医生，我就放心地交给你，你说怎么治就怎么治，听你的”。我不知道这位医生是否认识神，但他说“ 瑰是他见过最坚强最乐观的病人”！张瑰就是这样用她坚强乐观的人生态度影响她周边的人。她的音容笑貌我们永远不会忘记。我们知道她在天家等着我们重逢的时候。我们爱你张瑰！我们想你张瑰！

人生漫长又很短暂记得十几年前我和張瑰相遇在我们教会。她给我的第一印象是爱主、乐于助人、並漂亮和勇敢。勇敢原自于她军人的气质。乐于助人来自于从神而来的爱。圣经说＂你们要爱人如己。＂瑰做到了。

相知：是我们一起在教会侍奉的过程当中比此了解。记得我们第一次合作给教会圣诞节做饭报名人数150-160人左右，这么多人的饭我从来没做过感觉很紧張，下来和瑰啇量，她说姐没事有我，你说怎么干就怎么干。她这句话给了我信心和定心丸使我们的服侍得到了大家的好评。还有一次过春节我们给学生包饺子瑰知道后问我姐需要帮忙吗？我说需要。就在那天晚上，不但她来了，还带着胡建一起包。第一次知道胡建会撖饺子皮。我们还一起给教会小朋友春节表演做衣服。就这样我们一起在教会服侍了很多年很多次。长期的接触，彼此有了更深的了觧，相互信认，一起携手，共同在主里成长。

相爱：是我们在主里成为一家人。那些年我们在圣诞节春节的舞台上一起唱歌，一起跳舞、一起过30年结婚纪念日（因为我们两个的结婚是同一年，同一月差七天是一日）。一起旅游，记得几年前我们教会几家一起去坎昆旅游，秀珍姐妹脚痛，瑰就无微不至照顾姐妹。几天前听李昕说就在去年年未，她生病挺严重和难受，瑰还去她家看她安慰，李昕很感动。这种事情在瑰是家常便饭，谁有难处她都会苐一时间去送温暖。她是一个爱兄弟姐妹比爱自己多的人。更是一个把神的爱用行动展现出来的人。

瑰是一个勇敢而坚强的人：一年多前的一天,当胡建告诉我瑰得癌症时,我被惊吓到不敢相信，从教会开车直奔她家、进门看到她躺在沙发上。我哭了。她确说＂姐没事一切交给神，＂反过来安慰我。在过去一年当中她接受了很多治疗。治疗的过程也是经历苦难的过程，别的不说就免疫治疗相当痛苦。我去看她从头上到身多处往外渗血，再结成干痂，再把痂拨掉再渗血、真是疼痛难忍。我忍不住泪如雨下她确说＂姐没事、我可以＂。

就在她离世前我去看她、她说：“姐你们要好好的活着＂她那种平静、平安、坦然面对死亡是因为她知道她将要去的地方是天堂，从此没有苦难和痛苦，烦恼和忧愁。只有神的爱、永生和主在一起的快乐。借一句圣经的话＂那美好的仗已经打过了，当跑的路己经跑尽。所信的道己经守住了。” 瑰我们爱你：安息吧！

题目：61个对妈妈最深的记忆

女儿：Anne & Jenny

My name is Anne, and this is my sister Jenny. Gui is our mom.

Most of us here knew her in different ways, some more closely than others, and some during different seasons of her life. But for Jenny and me, we had the gift of knowing her our entire lives.

She turned 61 this past year, and we thought the most meaningful way to honor her today would be to share 61 of our favorite moments of her as our mom.

妈妈去年满了61岁，我们觉得对妈妈最好回忆妈妈，就是分享我们和妈妈的61个最深的记忆。

1. Anne: She hated to see us cry and would tell us that our tears are no good here. So, I hope you will join us with smiles and laughter as we recount some of our favorite memories.

2. Jenny: She loved exercising, whether it was jumping in place, walking in our neighborhood or local park, or swimming at the UGA Ramsey center.

3. Anne: 妈妈以前跑步很厉害，她的外号叫飞毛腿。

4. Jenny: 我们上长途飞行的时候，妈妈会坐在中间，让我和姐姐睡在她的腿上

5. Anne: She took tough to the next level, voluntarily having all three of us children without an epidural.

6. Jenny: Dad's scrubs were the last thing she folded, and she always took the most care folding them.

7. Anne: 妈妈胆子很大，经常做一些事情，让爸爸和哥哥都腿发抖。

8. Jenny: 妈妈很迷信，我SAT考的好的时候，妈妈叫我别给人家说，藏在心里。

9. Anne: She was the best bargain buyer, always rubbing in our faces how she could find cuter clothing for a fraction of the price.

10. Jenny: Mom had to wake me up every morning for school until I graduated high school because I couldn’t wake up to my alarms. When I was little, she’d come upstairs, drag me out of my covers, and let me sleep while she dressed me and put deodorant on me.

11. Anne: 妈妈最有耐烦心了，我天天晚上哭了她三年半，她从来没有起来打我，骂我。

12. Jenny: 他不喜欢我大声讲话，但是也不喜欢另人吵我。

13. Anne: She loved having her photos taken. As dad says, “God knew he liked taking pictures, so He gave him the perfect model.”

14. Jenny: 妈妈是世界最美的女性。

15. Anne: 我们打麻将的时候妈妈经常会催我们，然后喊我们“老棉裤”。

16. Jenny: She boiled fruit water every night to soak her feet – her homemade pedicures.

17. Anne: She was a notorious board game cheater; except she wouldn’t call it cheating; she called it “using her resources.” Her resources? Dad.

18. Jenny: She always made us take off our outside clothes before climbing into her bed.

19. Anne: 很久不见妈妈的话，妈妈第一句话就是诶，你怎么长胖了？但是下一句永远会是你想吃什么妈妈给你做。

20. Jenny: 我一直很喜欢大蒜，妈妈知道的，炒饭的时候会给我加很多

21. Anne: We got on to mom for ALWAYS being on her phone. Turns out she was busy beating us in block blast. Her high score, a whooping 378, 672.

22. Jenny: Her phone number was the first thing she made us memorize

23. Anne: 妈妈每个月都会告诉我们节约钱，但是爸爸不在的时候，妈妈会把所有多的现金递给我们。

24. Jenny: 我生病的时候，妈妈会陪到我一起睡，也不担心她自己会不会生病。

25. Anne: She was the best person to talk about boys with. The most excited I saw her our last few days in the hospital were when she was pointing out a “handsome doctor” to me,

26. Jenny: She’s a brilliant seamstress but hemmed my junior prom dress six inches too short.

27. Anne: 妈妈最爱跟Daddy穿情侣装了。

28. Jenny: 她每一个星期都把家清的干干静静的。她不想让客人看到一个脏的家。

29. Anne: She had her tiger mom moments, like when she craftily fabricated a story to successfully enroll me in the grade above the grade I was supposed to start…

30. Jenny: She let me type my Chinese school essays in English, and then Google Translate them to Chinese, so she could fix the grammar, my first AI.

31. Anne: 妈妈，最爱孩子。就盼哪一天可以见到自己的孙子，妈妈都已经给他孙子取好小名了。

32. Jenny: 有时候，吃饭的时候，会看到妈妈就一直在看我，小时候觉得很奇怪，现在很感恩。

33. Anne: When I learned how to drive, she brought a magazine to hit me with so she wouldn’t hurt her hand.

34. Jenny: I asked her for a trim in second grade, and she chopped all my hair off. I never asked her to cut my hair again.

35. Anne: 在妈妈眼里，我们永远穿的衣服不够，所以她会把自己身上的衣服脱给我们。

36. Jenny: 一直到我上中学的时候，妈妈有时仍然会背着我。

37. Anne: Whenever we fought, she would hide all the car keys in the house so I couldn’t leave her angry.

38. Jenny: When I started driving, she would go ahead and heat my car early in the mornings during the winter so that it wouldn’t be cold when I drove to school.

39. Anne: 妈妈在家里的脚步声最大声了，经常听到就是“咚咚咚”…

40. Jenny:除非妈妈半夜的时候发现我们在看电影玩游戏

41. Anne: She had terrible eyesight; there were glasses around the house, and when she couldn’t find her glasses, she’d reach for the magnifying glass.

42. Jenny: But she somehow still found Anne’s secret white tattoo…

43. Anne: 妈妈最爱猫了，我们都知道妞妞是妈妈的猫，妈妈也妞妞的妈妈。

44. Jenny: 妈妈每一个任务，不管是不是家务还是上班的任务，都做的漂漂亮亮的，不知道的东西，她会去学怎么做。

45. Anne: She was a professional TV binger. When dad was away for work trips, and I got to sleep with mom, I would wake up multiple times during the night and find her still watching TV.

46. Jenny: She always gave me lectures on the way to and from piano lessons – 20 min drive was the perfect time.

47. Anne: 妈妈，数学的确是太厉害了，当她躺在病床上的时候， 我们和她算3 X 8 =24，她还是比我们算得快。

48. Jenny: 妈妈确实是学霸，但也是个很好的老师。

49. Anne: She could be a little crunchy sometimes — always foraging goodies from the great outdoors and bringing us home stuff like fruit, nuts, bamboo… we had to cap it at mushrooms

50. Jenny: She’d lowkeyyyy side with me when my sister got mad at me...

51. Anne: 家里有虫的话，我们都知道是要喊妈妈来处理，爸爸没用。

52. Jenny: 妈妈喜欢给人家聊天儿

53. Anne: There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for us kids – including lying to the cops when we pulled a prank on her and told her cops followed us home.

54. Jenny: I’m a picky eater, so when there was something she knew I didn’t like in her food, she just wouldn’t tell me and put it in my mouth first.

55. Anne: 妈妈最搞笑了，在她生命的最后一晚上，当护士给妈妈打镇静药过后，妈妈还是在给我们开玩笑，她最喜欢听到我们哈哈哈的笑

56. Jenny: 妈妈会留着我每年给她做的礼物，哪怕是我小时候做的很不起眼的东西。

57. Anne: She was the strongest prayer warrior I knew, beautifully living out 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

58. Jenny: She was not only strong in her own faith, but she always wanted to share God with others, whether it was family members, friends, or even strangers.

59. Anne: 妈妈是真心爱所有的人。在她最后的日子，妈妈最担心的是她所有还没有认识神的朋友。妈妈怕你们会怪，但是妈妈想你知道这是神的怜悯，祂掌管一切。

60. Jenny: 她给了我们无穷的机会，来学习妈妈重来没机会学过的东西。

61. Anne: She was the best, most perfect mom God could have given us.

She endured more than anyone should ever have to endure. All for the sake of her family.

但是妈妈你不用担心了。现在是你的时候来休息和享受。就等我们下次再见了啊。妈妈们爱你么么哒。

题目：想念你，瑰！

丈夫: 胡建

A couple days ago, my younger daughter asked me a question. She said Dad how many girlfriends did you have? I told her I only had one girlfriend, and that’s your mom. She laughed and told me I was good because my success rate is 100%. I answered: Yes success rate is good but it wasn’t that easy because I was not Gui’s only suitor at that time.

But I guess, I’m the lucky one.

Next year is our 40th anniversary. For the last few days, many friends have come to me sharing their thoughts about my wife. She’s a beautiful and lovely woman, of course. She always lends a helping hand and support when friends encounter difficulties. I had the joy of working with Gui for many years and she made a true impact in the lab and on me with her relentless kindness.

Yes, that is my wife. There are many things that make her beautiful.

But today, I want to share the part of her that I respect the most. My wife is really a tough woman. In 2004, I matched my 1st residency at the university of North Dakota. I went there by myself for training. My wife took care of our three kids in Dallas Texas: one teenage boy, one preschool girl and one small baby, while she worked a full-time job at UT Southwestern. Over the years, I have been much too focused on my work. Every day I left home while the kids were still dreaming. When I returned home, they were already in bed. During those years, I left all the family burden and the kids’ education to my wife. Amazingly, she not only earned respect from her colleagues, but she also raised our three lovely kids. We love and support each other. As you see today!

Gui is the strongest woman I know because of her strong faith. Her favorite Bible verse is: “Don’t be afraid, only believe.” [Mark 5:36]. Her strong faith is the foundation of our family. No matter what hard situation our family faces, she always “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Proverbs 31:10-12 Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.

This was my wife. My dear wife, Gui, I miss you very, very much!

(中文译文)

几天前，小女儿问了我一个问题。她说：“爸爸，你交往过几个女朋友？” 我告诉她我只有一个女朋友，那就是你妈妈。她笑着说我真厉害，成功率是100%。我回答说：“是啊，成功率是高，但也没那么容易，因为当时你妈妈的追求者并非我一个。”

我猜想，我是那个幸运者。

明年是我们结婚四十周年纪念日。这几天，很多朋友都来跟我分享他们对我妻子的回忆。“她是一位美丽可爱的女人。” 这是勿用分辨的事实。“当朋友遇到困难时，她总是伸出援手，给予支持。” “我很荣幸能和瑰共事多年，她无私的善良对实验室包括我个人都产生了深深地影响。”

是的，这就是我的妻子。她身上有很多美好的品质。

但今天，我想分享我最敬佩她的一点。我的妻子是一位非常坚强的女性。 2004年，我在北达科他大学开始了我第一年的住院医师训练。我独自一人前往那里接受培训。我的妻子则在德克萨斯州达拉斯市照顾我们的三个孩子：一个十几岁的男孩、一个学龄前女孩和一个婴儿，同时她在德克萨斯大学西南医学中心全职工作。很多年来，我一直过于专注于工作。每天，孩子们还在睡梦中时，我就离开了家。等我回到家时，他们已经睡下了。在那些日子里，我把所有的家庭重担和孩子们的教育都留给了妻子。令人惊叹的是，她不仅赢得了同事们的尊重，还把我们三个可爱的孩子抚养成人。我们彼此相爱，互相扶持。正如你们今天所看到的！

瑰是我认识的最坚强的女人，因为她拥有坚定的信仰。她最喜欢的圣经经文是：“不要怕，只要信。”（马可福音 5:36）。她坚定的信仰是我们家庭的基石。无论我们家遭遇怎样的困境，她总是“凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐”。

箴言 31:10-12 谁能找到一位贤德的女子呢？她的价值远胜过珍珠。她丈夫心里倚靠她，必不缺少利益。她一生使丈夫有益无损。

这就是我的妻子。我亲爱的妻子瑰，我非常非常想念你！
