It is my regret to inform of this news. Unfortunately, Ted Chu's (朱徳義) mother (賀桂英女士) passed away on Sunday, 1/18 in Taiwan.
Ted's mother was a devout Catholic who consistently went to Church every Sunday before she fell ill.
Please pray for Mrs. Chu's soul to rest peacefully in heaven and provide our support to the Chu family during this difficult time.
God Bless!
