I don't like to ascribe "favorite" to any persons since it could lead to people feeling slighted. However in this case I am willing to risk offending someone by stating that my 舅媽 is my favorite aunt. I observed that she was always so generous and kind to everyone regardless of their social status, their relationship to her or to their ability to repay her kindness. I marveled at her patience with people that others found difficult to deal with and her ability to love so unconditionally. She exhibited a love language of serving others and she did so with a joyful and humble spirit. She also knew how to find pleasure in grand things and mundane things. Hers was truly a life well lived that so reflected the character of Jesus.
I always looked forward to spending time with her on our infrequent trips to California. She shared words of wisdom and advice in her gentle manner. We had many common interests including cooking and baking. She was eager to try new recipes that I gave her and could always find a way to improve on it. She loved trying new foods and recipes like French cuisine and we would talk about how we thought certain dishes were made. She loved Julia Child and we would look at cookbooks together.
舅媽t was a truly saintly person and I will always aspire to be like her.

Kwan Ching Luke Kwong was a very good mother-in-law (Ma, ma). She treated me like her own daughter. She had been very helpful all these years. I remember she always came to our house to help after she got off from work in Alameda. She even drove all the way across Bay Bridge to visit us after we moved to San Francisco and Peninsula. She brought her home make food such as tomato/potato beef minced sauce, daikon cake and cake with her. The tomato/potato beef minced sauce was her son and grandsons’ favorite dish. Her daikon cake recipe tasted better than the restaurant. She was a tailor and always-sewed clothes, blankets and bags for us. To a point, my children will automatic asked grandma to hem their pants for them. She always offered to help babysit for us so that Ray and I can have time off for ourselves.
She was the most generous, selfless and caring person. One time, I brought her favorite homemade sauce from Hong Kong and she turned around gave the whole thing to her relative, just because her relative liked it. She drove her neighbor to church every week and babysit for them free.
She was a faithful Christian and she prayed for her family every day. She did not want to take advantage of others. She did not applied for SSI even though her finance was very tight. She lifted her head high and we love you mama.
鄺陸坤貞 是一位非常好的家婆（ 我跟兒子叫嫲嫲）。她像對待親生女兒一樣對待我。這些年來，她一直非常樂於助人。我記得她在阿拉米達下班後總是來我們家幫忙。我們搬到舊金山和半島後，她甚至開車穿過海灣大橋來看我們。她帶了她自己做的食物，如薯仔番茄牛肉、蘿蔔糕和蛋糕。薯仔番茄牛肉是她兒子和孫子最喜歡的菜。她的蘿蔔糕食譜比餐廳的味道好。她是一名裁縫，總是為我們縫製衣服、被和袋。我的孩子們會自動要求嫲嫲為他們修改褲子。她總是為我們照顧孩子，這樣Raymond和我就可以有屬於自己的時間了。
她是最慷慨、最無私、最有愛心的人。有一次，我從香港帶來了她最喜歡的自製醬汁，她轉身把整樽醬汁都給了她的親戚，只是因為她的親戚喜歡。她每週都開車送鄰居去教堂，免費為他們照顧孩子。
她是一位忠實的基督徒，每天都為家人祈禱。她不想佔別人便宜。即使她的財務狀況非常緊縮 ，她也沒有申請 SSI。她昂首挺胸的活著 ， 嫲嫲 .我們愛你!

鄺陸坤貞老太訃文
鄺陸坤貞老太於 1922 年 9 月 23 日出生在中國廣東省新會人，並於 2021 年 9 月 13 日上午 9 點去世，享年 98 歲。
我們紀念她漫長而豐盛的人生！她父親是越南的華僑和母親是來自廣東省的。我們的母親在越南長大，經歷了第二次世界大戰，逃到香港，在1947 年嫁給了她的丈夫 鄺忠源. 她在真光學校就讀，但後來為了幫助她的妹妹上學而放棄學業去工作。她是4個兄弟姐妹之一,大哥, Sze Chik Luk,(deceased) , 一個弟弟, 妹妹, Kwan Ming (Helen) Iu (deceased). "。她在丈夫的攝影工作室幫忙，成為那裡的穩定力量，深受員工喜愛。後來她在她哥哥的香港公司做簿記員多年。她的哥哥對她很好。
她生了兩個孩子，大的女兒 Miranda Victoria Dea 和兒子 Raymond Kwong。 1969 年 4 月，鄺太太一家四口移民到美國的奧克蘭，感謝，馬里蘭州的Phyllis Lee阿姨,她讚助我們一家人移民來美國。母親和Phyllis 阿姨非常親近，曾經一起住在香港的同一所房子裡。1969 年母親(鄺太太)和她的家人都開始每週參加伯克來的一個基督教教會。我們一個接一個地接受主耶穌為我們個人的救主。所以我們期待有一天能在天堂大團圓！
母親(鄺太太)是個裁縫，很辛苦，做到手指痛。她說她最好的工作是在阿拉米達的 Luque Uphostery，在那裡她受到同事和老闆吉姆的讚賞！
她是最慈愛的母親、婆婆、外母, 祖母、和曾祖母！我們會想念她溫暖的笑容和善良！無論是保姆還是其它什麼，她都從未拒絕過我們的請求。
在辅助生活院的這5年裡，我們感謝很多親友不時來看望她。
她不止一次表達了她的願望，希望上帝讓她安然在睡眠中離開世界不會受苦。我們一次又一次地為此禱告。在她去世前的最後幾天，她大部分時間都在睡覺，身邊有家人，孫子來探望她。2021年 9 月 13 日在奧克蘭的老人院在睡眠中返回天家,沒有任何痛苦,安詳渡過，上帝真的回應了她的祈禱。那裡的基督徒經理陳女仕和她的員工都好像是上帝的天使，提供了最溫柔的關懷！在Covid的一年半時間裡，他們沒有發生過一個Covid的案例，這可能是灣區有這樣記錄的兩個輔助生活院之一！
母親(鄺太太)其中幾個願望之一是看到她的大孫子基立在經濟上獨立。 Caleb 今天擁有自己盈利的公司。她的第二個願望將在追悼會上分享。
我們感謝主，經過媽媽的近年經歷,讓 Raymond 的家人 Anne、Caleb 和 Jared 比以往都更親密！ Jared 熱心事奉主，偶然講道，帶領許多人歸向基督，Raymond 定期進行 Zoom的 分享和禱告會。母親(鄺太太)希望她的基督教信仰能傳給後代。女兒女婿Miranda and Patrick 都在事奉主。
因為疫情的 關係, 我們要求遠方的親戚不要飛來參加葬禮。今天有些在網上參加追思會。在即將舉行的葬禮上，家人、親友將有許多分享和閱讀信件來紀念她。你們任何親友也可以在殯儀館網上發布你的回顧分享, 鄺陸坤貞老太的DVD 生平故事和其他照片已經放在網上。
安葬後，邀請客人於下午 1 點 30 分左右, 在奧克蘭唐人街的牡丹閣以解穢酒招待。
願主祝福你們所有人,表達你的愛和支持。
