Dear Fellow Toastmasters of FYTC's, and others,

I just take advantage of this e-group sites to show our saddest feelings and condolences toward the passing away of Richard's wife. She died at the age of 53. The age that should be very brilliantly vibrant in family and community leading her easy way of life, yet she left for Heaven and left behind her most beloved husband and only son. She is living peacefully with God in the Heaven now.

Richard, as far as we have worked and played Toastmasters together closely for years, I know he has never said NO to any assignments from EVP, he never has once absent from the meetings during these seven more years. While he was the EVP of AREA 6 in Taichung area, David Wang was busy in the North, he himself took the great part of hard work sponsoring the nation-Wide convention in Taichung National Restaurant, and that was a big success. As the Area 6 Governor, he made the greater part of the details and managements for the 2002 District Fall Convention in Tachia.

That was the most successful convention in District 67 history. And then in his term of Division B Governor, he made Toastmasters in Taiwan the first time to associate with University to hold the 2003 District 67 Convention in Providence University, Taichung. The fisrt, and most successful one. All the events and managements needed lots of time, needed lots of being enthusiastic, dedication and commitments.

Richard's wife made herself behind the scenes of Toastmasters and supported him with all her heart to make him bear no backyard-household concern and worry. We never met her, but usually we would call her to get her husband, Richard for us. Over the phone, her voice was always so sincere, friendly, and tender that surely would be lingering in our mind for good. The other day, several of us went to Richard's to pay our homage and condolences to them, I stood in front of the altar staring at her picture for a few moments and prayed silently to the God to bless this kind lady for her living peacefully in Heaven.

She was such a nice woman supporting TMs that we owe her a lot of respect.

Richard Wu is the real TM in TMs. He is a real gentleman with integrity and humanity. He is a friend in need, and is a friend indeed. He lost his most beloved better half at the age of 53 that is the biggest trauma in his mind, and forever is. He deserves our love and sympathy, and everlasting support.

God bless thee.
Charles Chan FYTC / TTC

Dear Richard: I felt so sorry and sad to hear the passing away of your beloved wife.

Please accept our deep condolences. In our mind, she was a respectable and kind lady; she gave you a warm and lovely family, and she also gave you enough space and time to dedicate to the society, like Toastmasters Club and church, etc. You had good and high reputation in our community, mostly owing to her sacrifice and assistance. We know that her passing away is your big loss.

Although you are a very strong and brave husband, we still hope you will keep stronger than before to face this sorrowful event. We are all beside you, and please tell us if there is any thing we can do for you.

Sincerely Yours
James Lin - President/FYTC
