Wendi Gu

尊敬的女士，先生们，各位来宾们，大家好 我叫李懿，是顾文娣女士的孙女。首先我代表我们全家向大家的到来表示感谢， 谢谢大家来送我的奶奶最后一程。 顾文娣女士于上星期二在医院里病逝了，享年90高龄。 我的奶奶是一位平凡，普通的人，但就是这样一位普通的人，用她无私的母爱和她的一生，为我们这个家和社会创造了无数的财富。她带给大家的快乐，成功，和喜悦是无法用语言来表达和形容的。奶奶她一生勤劳，朴实，勇敢，无数次，她用她的勇敢和顽强战胜了病魔的挑战，这一次，这没勇敢的她却没有再一次给我们带来惊喜，没有给医生和她身边所有的人一个惊喜，她永远的离开了我们。。。就在我再向她告别的时候，她的手，身体，还是软和的，她的脉搏甚至还在跳，她的嘴还在试图呼吸着最后一口气。我们都久久的不能明白为什么就连这么勇敢的人，命运却和她说再见了。连上帝也没有再一次的眷顾和保护她。奶奶的身体是离开了我们和这个世界，但我相信奶奶的灵魂永远，永永远远的和我们在一起。 俗话说的好，“家有一老，有如一宝”，我们失去了这个无法代替的宝，再多的伤心和痛苦都换不回奶奶的生命。但是我们可以以奶奶为榜样，做个好人，伟人。将她的勇敢，勤劳和朴实来替她铭记在心，我想只有这样我们才能告慰奶奶的在天之灵。 下面我简单的回顾一下我奶奶的一生。我奶奶有5个孩子，应为爷爷去世的早，是奶奶一个人把5个孩子养大和扶养成人的。奶奶不仅爱她的孩子们，连我们下一代也疼爱有加。 我奶奶比我的妈妈还要疼爱我，抱我的次数比我妈妈还多。从中国来到美国后，奶奶还是一如既往的关心和爱护她的子女，和晚辈们。随着年龄的增长，奶奶的身体不再想以前难么硬朗。为了不增添子女们的麻烦，小毛小病的奶奶从不向我们透露。在她80岁高龄时，还和我的爸爸，姑姑们一起早出晚归的。奶奶完全可以在家里享受天伦之乐，她还是坚持幸苦工作，任劳任怨。有好几次，我的爸爸和姑姑因为工作太忙，没有办法先送奶奶回家休息，奶奶只好一个人先到他们的车上休息一下，因为行动不方便，和天气原因，摔倒过好几次。我们看在眼里，疼在心里。奶奶从来不先考虑她自己，无论在家里还是工作，她都以别人的利益为重。 有她这么伟大的母爱，我们工作和学习才有了前进的动力。 奶奶，我想一定是累了，换了个地方休息了。不然的话，您一定不会抛下我们，就这样永远地离开我们了。。。 奶奶，请您一路走好。（这是我们所有人的心愿）我们爱您！如果有来世，请还作我的奶奶！！ 永别了，我敬爱的好奶奶。我知道您不会怪我，没有照顾好您，请接受我和所有亲朋好友的祝福，我们祝您安息，幸福，快乐

Wendi Gu passed away peacefully on June 4th, 2013 at Unity Hospital, Fridley, Minnesota. She was surrounded by loving family members, Zhangqiu, Changming, Connie, Ying Ying, Yi, Shunda, and Char Chang. Wendi was born in February 17, 1923, in Shanghai, China. When Wendi and her late husband Baiyin Li started to raise a family in 1950', it was the toughest time in Chinese history. They were a generation who went through a long period of time that millions of families had to make unthinkable sacrifices, such as family separations, mean allocated resources, in order to rebuild a country. She was just a simple woman, but she sustained and brought up five children with abundant love and care, and none of them felt impoverished by those extreme circumstances. Wendi's nurturing instinct also made her to extend care to neighbor's children. Many times her children could find their meager belongings disappear and then reappear at neighbors, just because Wendi unselfishly shared out to neighbor's children who were more in need. Wendi lived her life for ninety years. She was a person only knowing to give, but never requested return from children or from friends. While her world revolved around her family, she always treated others the same way: honest, sincere, and humble. She never picked on any flaw in any person. When conflicts happen between two parties, she never gave away her favor to any person just because of being closer to her. Wendi enjoyed working, and never thought of retirement in any form, or being too old to contribute. She chose to live a full life as long as she was capable. She came to her workplace every day. She considered herself as one of the employees at the supermarket even though it's run by her daughter. When she worked, business profit was never a concern. She simply wanted to offer the best thing to anyone came to her. She sorted out produces with best quality, and believed every customer deserved the best. She lived in a small world surrounded by family and work place. But she lived out a life full of energy and a principle of being an honest person. Both Shanghai and Minnesota are her dear homes. She connected herself deeply to family and friends, and therefore she felt at ease whenever and wherever she was. She never loved her world less, and made every effort to continue life every day even under a complicated and weakening physical condition. She never complained or revealed her pain to people around. She gracefully showed her passion, courage in life and integrity as an honest person to children and friends around. Her surviving family members include the following: Five Children and their spouse/partner:Li Changchun and Wang Qinlan Li Zhangqiu and Yu Ying Ying Li Changqin and Wu Zheng Er Li Changming and Wang Liya Connie Li and Shieh Char Chang Grandchildren: Li Shunda, Wang Chenli, Li Yi, Li Chen, Li Jun A daughter in law who continues to love Wendi as Mother: Zhu Janping
