Thank you for your help. John Liu _____________________ Fu Shing Liu June 26, 1930 – May 7, 2013 Our dad was born in China on June 26, 1930, and lived his last 34 years of life in Gastonia, NC. He lived a full life adorned with ample pride of having raised his five children, and being happily married to his wife of 64 years. He is best remembered for his loving care and devotion to his family, and his kindheartedness and generosity to all. He has touched so many lives, and in so many ways. When in need, his friends and acquaintances often sought his guidance and help. Our dad would always extend his hand, magnanimously and wholeheartedly. Although he became ill in his later years and struggled to get better, he never lost hope that he will become well again, so that he could live to see his thirteen grandchildren and one great grandchild thrive and graduate from college. It is through his optimism that we have all learned to savor hope for the world, and strive to make a difference. We know that he is now well again, with God and enjoying the peace in heaven, watching us grow spiritually and following his path towards hope and goodwill.
