We are deeply shocked and saddened by the absolutely unexpected departure of Xiaowen. Our world will be completely different without her charming smile and kind friendship. We will miss Xiaowen forever!

Xiaowen is such a lovely person with a big heart. I was invited to their home when I just arrived in DC, feeling lonely in a new city on a new job. She made everyone feel very welcome and quietly arranged the dinner for a big party while others were having a ball. She and Wang Hua visited us when my daughter newly arrived home from the birth hospital, bringing a ton of groceries. The doll they gave my daughter has been treasured for years and looks saddened (attached) with the shocking news. We will always remember Xiaowen as a warm, caring and and quietly supportive friend and aunt. She will be dearly missed.

为王华失去挚爱，为Jack和Nick失去慈母表示深切的哀悼！为我们大家失去亲爱的朋友，做人的榜样而万分难过！
为小文的勇敢送上最真挚的敬意！癌症、死亡，这些人们避而不及的事情，你用每一天代替我们体验痛苦，告诉大家生死之道，如王华所说：凤凰涅盘，向死而生。
为小文的解脱而释怀，你是第一个放飞自我的。灵魂摆脱了肉体的束缚，那该是多么令人神往的感觉。我看到了轻灵飘逸无拘无束的你，请你一定好好珍惜！
十几年前的一个早晨我在超市遇到你，推车里坐着小Nick，你说想让王华早晨多睡一会儿，就带小儿子出来买菜了。2019年的一个星期五我到你家附近办事，顺便进去坐了坐。炉子上咕嘟咕嘟的煲着汤，你告诉我周六Jack会从纽约回来，他喜欢喝这个。你拿给我看最近开始学习的一幅油画，大师的作品让你稚嫩的笔触临摹得那么天真灿烂！最后一次我们一起吃饭，你抢着买单，告诉我下次再由我来请客，下一次，你为什么不给我这个机会！这些天每每想到这里，我的泪水不能自己。
小文，你用温柔的羽翼给家人遮避风雨，你用淡然的微笑释然做为妻子和母亲的辛劳，你用无私的友情让邻里、朋友们凝聚在一起。你的家有我们太多太多美好的记忆！
我亲爱的小文，愿你天堂安好！

Xiaowen is such a lovely lady! I still remember when we first met at a friend’s house to play cards. I was surprised that Xiaowen and Hua are very different, especially Xiaowen did not talk that much as Hua. Her voice was low, not like other Chinese ladies. They yield when they talk, like me. I love playing cards, but I always play and always lose. That is me! I noticed Xiaowen was good at playing cards since she was super talented in math. We chatted and we liked each other a lot.
Then, Xiaowen invited Larry and me to her house later. I believed Xiaowen must be a good cook and I love to eat. I went directly to the kitchen to check the food even that was my first time to visit her house. I did not see that much food on the countertop and looked at Xiaowne in a questionable way, “where are the dishes?” She laughed badly and opened the oven. Wow, I saw many amazing dishes hid in the oven to keep warm. I was very happy when I saw the food, but we did not play cards that night. I really hope I still have a chance to play cards with Xiaowen again.
My heart was broken when I heard the bad news! Xioawen is forever in my heart.

We are deeply saddened to hear about your loss! Although Xiaowen and I just started to know each other about two years ago, I liked her and admired her already. She is such a wonderful lady with caring, empathy, strength, gratefulness, and courage that will never be forgotten. Her kind messages, soft voices, great smiles, and encouragements will be in my heart forever!
May she rest in peace! Our heartfelt condolences to your family!

I am a research collaborator of Hua. I met Xiaowen back in 2002 when they had a party at their house. She was quite but very friendly with a nice smile. At that time I was a graduate student who just moved from Berkeley to Washington DC to conduct research at the World Bank. Xiaowen asked what she can help me — she was so warm hearted.
I have not see Xiaowen in the last decade. Directly and indirectly I knew Jack and Nicholas going to college, Jack finding a job in NYC, and Hua taking a challenge to become a dean at Renmin. Xiaomen must be the pivotal person to all these achievements of the family.
I am shocked and grieved by the loss of a mother, a wife, a friend, and a colleague. What an incredible soul Xiaowen was. Words seem to small to express the sadness I feel about Xiaowen’s sudden death. She will be so missed.
May her soul rest in peace. May her love brings comfort to Hua’s family.

I had the pleasure of working with Xiaowen for several years while I was with EPA. She was a very nice and kind person. Her efforts assisting EPA with our IT effort were excellent and you could always count on her to help move us ahead. She was just a great person to work with. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends.

Some of my best memories growing up were at 小文阿姨’s house (which I knew of as Jack’s house). 小文阿姨 was always very kind to me when I would come over for sleepovers, which happened often. Jack was my best friend, and I always looked forward to sleeping over. I remember how Nick would get excited too, and he would say “slee-over” because he couldn’t pronounce “sleepover” yet.
SAIC sponsored annual trips to Six Flags and Jack’s family sometimes invited me along. Aside from school trips, those were the only times that I went to amusement parks, so I looked forward to it every year.
I’ve attached a picture of Spring Break from 2003, when our families went camping together.
Now I have been living in Colorado for the last five and a half years, and I am halfway through a PhD in applied math here. I am grateful to 小文阿姨 for giving me such a big part of my childhood. She will be greatly missed.

昨日和同事第一次在餐厅聚餐，相邻上次我们相约吃饭的地方，还想着要再约起来出去吃饭，却接到人巳逝的消息。再也没有以后的相约。再也没有了以后同为妈妈，女人，妻子的畅聊，哈哈一乐。生活的点点滴滴在你风清云淡的谈笑中静静飘过。二十多年的朋友，从北卡开始，相聚在大华府，记得当时离开北卡后在大华府见面时问你，有了工作，有什么感觉，你笑着说可以买自己喜欢的东西。简单乐观的回答! 看着二儿子出生，聊着孩子们成长的件件小事，和王华种种趣事。习惯了打起电话，聊两句，然后心照不宣地说：吃饭去。这么多年的时间就在相约吃饭中平平静静过去，回想起来，什么事，从你口里说出来都变成了轻松的家常便饭，一笑而过。若有天堂，天堂会有你的笑声，祈祷你一路走好，RIP!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Xiaowen. Hearts broken to the point that is unspeakable. Xiaowen and Hua have been our close friends for nearly four decades. In particular, Xiaowen and Di studied together at the Department of Geography, Nanjing University from 1982-1986. The two families lived in Washington DC area, often visiting each other, joining the same parties and social events; and the boys playing together.
Xiaowen is a great friend, caring, generous, friendly, cheerful, warm, gentle, sincere, and thoughtful; she is very intelligent but rarely shows it off in front of friends; she always made people around her feel very comfortable. Their home has always been a popular place for the gathering of friends. Since we moved to Beijing, we have stayed at Xiaowen’s home many times when we returned to Washington DC area for vacations and short visits. Though we knew form the beginning that Xiaowen was fighting an ill bravely, it is still unbelievable that she is no longer with us in this world. We love her, and miss her immensely. We cherish her life, which touches the hearts of so many people. Xiaowen lives in our hearts forever. May Xiaowen rest in peace.

追忆亲爱的小文
与小文有缘，两次成为学姐学妹，但都没能在学校相遇。真正与小文的接触是在她研究生临毕业时，在我所在的工作单位做了一段实习生。那时我们一起上班，加上她的家乡正好也是我小时候生活过的地方，她的口音和她朴实善良的个性都让我觉得特别可亲可爱。她工作起来总是轻松愉快效率也很高，对人总是和气谦虚，同事们也都很喜欢她。毕业后她去了Virginia工作，我们各自都忙工作忙孩子，偶尔通通电话互相问候或交流些工作上的事情，她喜欢自己的工作，热爱自己的生活。
几年前我退休了，可以经常回国与先生相聚，她也曾经考虑是否也退了去与先生相聚，回国内过过日子，可是都还没来得及……去年得知她确诊，但她的乐观与坚强让我也忘了那是个绝症。万万没想到经过一年痛苦而顽强的拼搏还是没能战胜病魔。我在毫无心理准备时又得知了她最终的决定，但我仍抱着一线幻想与希望。今天恶耗传来，善良纯朴的小文真的离开了我们。
亲爱的小文你辛苦了！这一年来为自己为家人和身边所有的朋友们，你饱受病痛努力奋战，尽力了！我们不会忘记你。一路走好，天堂再没有病痛，安息吧！

忆起去年二月份王华回北卡UNC领奖，小文陪同而回。我们小聚了数小时，谈论小孩，工作，旅游，生活，爱好，对将来退休生活的计划等等。她给我看了她画的第一幅油画，画得颜色鲜艳，从中看到她内心的喜悦和对未来的憧憬！我还由衷地夸她画画很有天份！她告诉我每天都在公司打乒乓球，我回说你球技见长，有机会一定要切磋一把。以前在她家的地下室打乒乓，对她的球品印象特深，尽力去赢，输了也只是哈哈一笑。现已成往事，深以为憾！
我们虽然不能常常长聊，但是都彼此牵挂。她DC的家，我们随时可以去探访，我们北卡的家，也是她回“老家”的落脚点。
当我听到小文离开我们的消息，实在太震惊了！想不到见面不久，又因为疫情，大家生活都有不同程度的改变。回想去年她生日那天没有及时送去问候，今年一定要补上，哪想到却再没有机会了！
这两天，总是回忆着我们在北卡相识的时光，小文永远都是安静，默默地忙碌着！从她UNC毕业，到DC工作，认识差不多三十年。感觉她一直都是那么善良，大方，得体，热心又深藏大智慧，从不张扬，总是默默地为大家做各种各样的事。有那么一段时间，我们常常开车从北卡到DC，去小文和王华家唱卡拉0K，小文总是做好一大桌美食等待我们。家里也见高朋满座，其乐融融的。我们都知道在欢声笑语的背后，是小文不辞辛苦的付出！我现在已难以历数，例子实在太多！她永远都是那个StandBy的，谁有需要时，她就会出现的好朋友！对老公，对儿子就更不用说了，对待我们这些萍水相逢的朋友们，她也总是那么热心地照顾着。她可能不是一颗很耀眼的明星，但她是空气，是水，是那么平淡而不可或缺！痛失像小文这样的好朋友，我们都深感悲痛！你短暂的一生，走出过一段精彩的人生，拥有过一个美满的家庭，有深爱你的丈夫和二个聪明的孩子。唯愿天堂没有病痛，没有悲伤！望你一路走好！

I first met Xiaowen at neighborhood’s playground about 20 years ago. Xiaowen often hosted friends gathering at her house. I enjoyed conversation with her every time in her house. Her soft voice and charming smile made me relax. But since every time there were a lot of people, we never had a chance for deeper conversation until about 10 years ago Xiaowen and I took Nick and Matt to ski. Both Nick and Matt wanted to go to ski that weekend. No one else was available to go. So Xiaowen drove us to the ski resort. While the boys were skiing, we were sitting inside talking all day. Xiaowen told me about her family, her sisters, and how one of her sisters helped students from poor families to finish colleges. Coming from such a caring family, it is not a surprise that Xiaowen is so generous, warm, and thoughtful.
I remember at one of the gatherings at Xiaowen’s house, I wanted to go home earlier to call my parents. Xiaowen told me I could just use her phone to call in her house. I can never forget that Xiaowen and Hua treated us to lunch when we visited their Beijing house 5 years ago. Friends mean a lot. I felt it! Xiaowen was not the oldest among friends. But we all felt she was just an older sister. Without Xiaowen’s organization, there would not be so many road trips and European cruise vacation. Kids grew up at Xiaowen’s house. Adults developed friendships at Xiaowen’s house. Xiaowen left behind the precious memories for us to cherish. We will hold her close in our thoughts and deep in our hearts today and always. May Xiaowen rest in peace.

Knowing Hua and Xiaowen for more than a quarter century, I would feel hard to imagine Hua’s house without Xiaowen anymore. Xiaowen is such a wonderful lady and friend, nice, calm, kind, and trustworthy. While Xiaowen appeared quiet, soft, and supporting at parties, she is smart, strong, and successful. She is the anchor of her family and a solid foundation for the success of Hua and their two sons, Jack and Nicholas. Her life will be remembered.

万分震惊，小文去世的消息!! 我实在不敢相信这是真的。
一直还记得小文的音容笑貌，记得小文在Charlotte 时给我们的帮助，记得在硅谷跟小文的见面，记得几年前跟小文的微信联系。不敢相信，小文就这样突然走了，真的不敢相信。愿小文一路走好，在天国安息!
王华和全家节哀顺变! 多多保重。

惊闻噩耗，内心难以平静！为王华失去一位温柔贤淑的好妻子，为孩子们失去一位善良智慧的好母亲，也为我自己从此失去一个真诚可爱的朋友而万分难过……万万没想到的，一直互相惦念的朋友，由于疫情使两国相隔，大家近年再没见面，突然而至的信息竟是永别！小文，真的很想念你！温柔的小文，是那个讲话轻声细语，让脾气急躁的我不知不觉和她一起慢下来的人；善良的小文，是那年我因腰疾无法去美国送孩子上学，她驾车4-5个小时，把我的孩子送去学校的人；有爱的小文，是在感恩节假期，担心我的孩子一个人孤单，带着他和她自己的孩子出去一起滑雪度假的人；忠于爱情的小文，孝顺父母的小文，每年几次奔波来往于美国和中国，看望丈夫，陪伴父母，乐此不疲……亲爱的小文，此时此刻，愿天国安好！
JEAN
今年五月的一天，我拿起手机拨通了小文的电话，如常的聊着天，老公呀、儿子呀、疫情呀…我后来问她自己怎么样？她说“我不好，我得了严重的病”。当时我僵住了，不知道如何继续询问下去。她平静但是沙哑地说：“我现在正在医院点滴化疗，是2020年7月发现的胰腺癌。”那是我最后听到她的声音，为了不影响她休息，以后就只有在微信上问候她。我庆幸开始不知道她生病了，我们开心的聊着天，好怀念那十几分钟呀！估价她也是回到了生病之前的感觉吧！她的声音就那样印在了我的脑海中。

Xiaowen – Lifetime friend
The first time we met Xiaowen is still fresh in our memory. Hao took our daughter Phoebe to take the exam for the GT schools, and Xiaowen took Jack there for the same exam. Weeks later Xiaowen invited us to her home. She opened her door and her heart to us – our friendship immediately took off.
We were invited to Xiaowen and Hua’s parties countless times where Xiaowen graciously and expertly prepared a feast for us every time. The laughter never stopped over card games and ping pong. We were no match for her at ping pong – she could beat us in heels. We took our first ski lesson together more than 20 years ago at Massanutten Ski Lodge. The air was filled with sounds of us screaming as we all tumbled down the beginner’s slope. We went ballroom dancing together, and we will never forget the beautiful rumba Xiaowen did on Hua’s arm.
We witnessed Xiaowen’s deepest love for Hua. Even between chemotherapy sessions, she was discussing with Yi about what brand of jacket to buy for Hua. Her total dedication to her family is evident from the two wonderful sons she raised with Hua.
The last time we saw Xiaowen in person was in May 2018 at our daughter’s wedding. She came not only as a friend, but also as family. She was absolutely radiant in a gorgeous red dress. We are so grateful that Xiaowen let us share our happiness with her on that important day.
When she broke the bad news to us last October, we were extremely saddened by the severity of her diagnosis. Xiaowen fought fearlessly and made a graceful exit when the time came. She has set a courageous and dignified example for the rest of us.
Having Xiaowen in our life was an absolute blessing. In her own gentle and quiet way, she changed us and everyone around her for the better. She represented so many things that we aspire to be.
Our lifetimes are limited, but our friendship is endless. We will see Xiaowen again in another world, where we continue to share laughter and stories.

It’s truly shocking to hear that Xiaowen has passed away so soon. I haven’t had many opportunities to interact with her, but from the 2-3 times attending their family events, I could deeply feel her kindness, gentleness, diligence, thoughtfulness, and hospitality… She must a very good and competent wife and mother, which is conspicuously confirmed by the often smiling, happy and confident husband – Wang Hua, who is a long-time colleague and friend of mine. We are truly saddened by the loss, but she will always live in our hearts and memories… Rest In peace, Xiaowen!

惊闻小文离世，非常难过和万分不舎！十多年前我曾在SAIC 和小文工作过几年，我们同在一幢楼里为EPA工作。小文作为高级资深的GIS专业人士，在业务上表现得相当出色，她为EPA地理信息糸统开发的应用软件年年得奖。面对众多的各种奖项，她总是淡然一笑，她的谦虚让我非常敬佩！ 因为同是福建老乡，工作之余，我们也常常聊天，每次聊起她俩个优秀的儿子，幸福和自豪的母爱之情溢于言表，让我印象深刻。小文是一个善解人意和对朋友特别真诚的人。她回国时总是特意带给我一些家乡的特产，以解我的乡愁。我还记得有一次SAIC 的年度Sixflag 的活动，我无法参加，小文把自己在活动中拿到的公司纪念品送给我做记念，让我十分感动！后来，我离开了SAIC，好多年和小文失去了联络。偶然的一个机会，我的另外一个朋友在联邦政府GIS 的年会上碰到小文，她拨通了我的电话让我和小文通话，电话那头的小文轻声细语的问候，还是那么温柔体贴、真诚和充满爱心。没有想到，那竟是我们的最后一次谈话。亲爱的小文，你轻轻地、悄声无息地走了，但你的善良、温柔、真诚和一切的美好永远地留在我们的心中。我们永远怀念你！我为你的先生、俩个儿子、母亲和家人们祷告！“神要擦去他们一切的眼泪，不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭号、疼痛，因为以前的事都过去了。” 愿你在天堂里安息！看顾和保守在地上的家人！

亲爱的小文，你不告而别，实在太突然，太遗憾！原来知道你不舒服，以为只是小毛病，后来你说身体好一些了，我就以为你痊愈了。只是回应你关于我认为最重要的事。我们来不及有更多交流，各自忙于工作生活。现在知道人生无需太多急急忙忙..若再来过，我一定问你清清楚楚….好在你知道人生何去何从，你说老美同事带你去过教会，为你感谢你亲爱的同事，盼望你走在光明的路上，将来我们可以在天家再会。（你的高中同桌Joy）

I met Xiaowen in the summer of 1995. When I was having lunch with Hua and a group of World Bank colleagues, Xiaowen joined us with their lovely son Jack who was only six years old at that time. I immediately recognized Xiaowen as a dedicated wife and mother. The boy behaved very well despite he was very active and energetic. Xiaowen respected Hua very much and she always listened to him quietly without reservation. Hua is very sociable and every Chinese colleague in the World Banks knows him. He is also very friendly and always willing to help newcomers, no matter he or she is a summer intern, consultant, YP, economist or manager. If you meet him once, he will invite you to his home for dinner and Xiaowen will cook delicious food, and there are entertainments after dinner, such as playing cards, karaoke, and dancing. Xiaowen did not speak much, but she certainly supported Hua a lot. I can imagine the amount of work including cooking and cleaning afterwards. She always kept her home meticulously clean. After her passing away, I went to visit Hua and I found her home is still so clean and tidy like new despite they have lived there for more than 20 years and that she has been fighting cancer for more than one year. I tried to hold my tears when Hua told me what was her life in her last few days. Such a gentle woman, a great mother and wife, passed away so quickly at a young age. She is always in our hearts. At her funeral, I met many friends who are also Xiaowen’s friends and colleagues. Their testimonies confirmed that Xiaowen is a great colleague and friend, too. I can only be grateful that her beloved husband has been with her in the last year and taking good care of her, supporting her till the end and her two sons are bright and successful professionals with great future. Xiaowen, rest in peace. We thank God that we have the opportunity to meet with you and have a wonderful memory with you. May God bless Hua, Jack, Nick, your mother and sisters.

我代表我们全家和邻居向王华，jack nick 及万里之外的黄妈妈，姐姐们表示沉痛的哀悼，希望黃妈妈保重身体。
Today we get together to mourn our heart saddened loss, to pay our ultimate respect, to celebrate a short but beautiful life, and send Xiaowen to a new world.
Xiaowen is a good wife a good mother a good daughter a good sister a good coworker a good neighbor and our best friend.
We have been neighbors for over 20 years and been friends equal to the length of that time. I would like to share with you some personal moments with Xiaowen.
Xiaowen, Wang Hua, Danni and I grow old together while our kids grew up together. We shared a lot of uncommon commonalities. What are typical ways of greetings between friends, handshake, hug, cheek kiss, fist bump, or in the pandemic we do elbow bump. Long time ago Xiaowen and my wife created a unique way of greeting each other. Nick and my daughter CeCe are at same age. Nick was born in June, CeCe in October. When Xiaowen and my wife were into their late pregnancies and greeted each other in the neighborhood, they did belly bumps. Because of that there is serious consequence, Nick, I blame you whenever CeCe complains she has a headache.
Xiaowen had a lot of hobbies, travelling, reading hiking, karaoke. Chinese Poker game was one of her favorites. She was one of the best players I ever know. We often played the game on Friday or Saturday nights. Later, we developed a new way to communicate before we have WeChat. Our houses are very close, we could see each other’s house through the windows. We set up a signal code. click light on and off once meant “wanted to play tonight?”, the other clicked on/off once meant “Yes. We just finished dinner, come over now”. Twice meant “not tonight, busy”. One Friday evening after dinner I clicked my light on/off and waited. Not too long, her light on and off, I was a bit excited. Then on and off again, I was disappointed, then on and off again and again. I was wondering what is going on, so I walked to her house to find out. Guess what, Wang Hua was repairing his table lamp. Since then, Xiaowen always informed me beforehand when Wang Hua was going to repair any light.
We all know Xiaowen was very smart and sharp. She also had a sense of humor. Just over 10 years ago, her family and mine went to Alaska together. In Juneau, the Alaska capital city, we ordered a private tour. The tour guide drove us around in the city and the wild. Near a National Glacier Park, the guide told us there used to be a wolf named Romero. Romero was the pet of the city. But one day he disappeared. He was the topic of tv and radio stations. People were looking for him. Xiaowen, at the back seat, spoke. She said you might be disappointed as he was gone and gone forever. The guide asked how she knew. Xiaowen then said Romeo was out looking for his lover Juliet. At that point I realized the animal kingdom also has the story of Romeo and Juliet.
Xiaowen lost the last battle of her life. However, she is not a loser. Instead, she is a winner. Look what she left behind, a beloved husband, two sunny, healthy, and intelligent boys Jack and Nick, and all of her friends here and not here to bid a farewell. If she is a loser, I don’t think any of us could claim a winner.
Finally On behalf of Xiaowen, we wish you safe and healthy. Take care of yourself and your beloved ones. I believe this is one of her last wishes as she always cared for other people
So long my friend. You will be missed. God Bless
Thank you everyone。

Ke Yin and I were saddened beyond words by the untimely departure of our dear friend Xiaowen.
Xiaowen was a beloved and unique friend. We are both from Fujian. Ke Yin is from Fuzhou, and Xiaowen from Yongtai Fuzhou. They even shared a local dialect that I could barely understand. What’s more, Xiaowen and I had both worked at Fujian Normal University, even though we did not know each other at the time. It was in the DC area that we came to know each other really well. I particularly enjoyed the weekend card games Xiaowen hosted, and Ke Yin always looked forward to the long walks with Xiaowen, either in Great Falls National Park or Burke Lake. We had also gone on several multi-family trips in the USA and Europe together. No matter where we were, Xiaowen’s charming smiles and her caring personality never failed to bring us joy. We will forever cherish her memories.

当悉知文姐姐去世的消息，真不敢相信这是真的。文姐姐一直都是作为我们几个表弟偶像级的人物，作为表弟们的标杆。感觉文姐姐这一生过的非常非常的完美，就是走的太急了一些。愿文姐姐一路走好！！！
王华姐夫和家人们请节哀！
小文千古！ 慈颜仙逝，音容犹在！你的聪慧、温柔、善良、坚强，你的善解人意、春风化雨、包容豁达永留心间！
惊闻小文去世，很悲痛！ 小文贤妻良母，事业有成 不幸英年早逝。还记得Nicholas 中文学校时候，我们常去王华小文家里唱歌。我们唱，小文总是安静地服务，坐一边听我们唱。总是有很多好吃的。豆豆就会和Nicholas玩。回忆起来，很感激小文王华一家的热情好客，让世界是更好更温暖的一个地方。愿小文天堂安息！

今年五月的一天，我拿起手机拨通了小文的电话，如常的聊着天，老公呀、儿子呀、疫情呀…我后来问她自己怎么样？她说“我不好，我得了严重的病”。当时我僵住了，不知道如何继续询问下去。她平静但是沙哑地说：“我现在正在医院点滴化疗，是2020年7月发现的胰腺癌。”那是我最后听到她的声音，为了不影响她休息，以后就只有在微信上问候她。我庆幸开始不知道她生病了，我们开心的聊着天，好怀念那十几分钟呀！估价她也是回到了生病之前的感觉吧！她的声音就那样印在了我的脑海中。
惊闻噩耗，内心难以平静！为王华失去一位温柔贤淑的好妻子，为孩子们失去一位善良智慧的好母亲，也为我自己从此失去一个真诚可爱的朋友而万分难过……万万没想到的，一直互相惦念的朋友，由于疫情使两国相隔，大家近年再没见面，突然而至的信息竟是永别！小文，真的很想念你！温柔的小文，是那个讲话轻声细语，让脾气急躁的我不知不觉和她一起慢下来的人；善良的小文，是那年我因腰疾无法去美国送孩子上学，她驾车4-5个小时，把我的孩子送去学校的人；有爱的小文，是在感恩节假期，担心我的孩子一个人孤单，带着他和她自己的孩子出去一起滑雪度假的人；忠于爱情的小文，孝顺父母的小文，每年几次奔波来往于美国和中国，看望丈夫，陪伴父母，乐此不疲……亲爱的小文，此时此刻，愿天国安好！
万分震惊，小文去世的消息!! 我实在不敢相信这是真的。
一直还记得小文的音容笑貌，记得小文在Charlotte 时给我们的帮助，记得在硅谷跟小文的见面，记得几年前跟小文的微信联系。不敢相信，小文就这样突然走了，真的不敢相信。愿小文一路走好，在天国安息!
王华和全家节哀顺变! 多多保重。

亲爱的小文，你不告而别，实在太突然，太遗憾！原来知道你不舒服，以为只是小毛病，后来你说身体好一些了，我就以为你痊愈了。只是回应你关于我认为最重要的事。我们来不及有更多交流，各自忙于工作生活。现在知道人生无需太多急急忙忙..若再来过，我一定问你清清楚楚….好在你知道人生何去何从，你说老美同事带你去过教会，为你感谢你亲爱的同事，盼望你走在光明的路上，将来我们可以在天家再会。（你的高中同桌Joy）
