From Kimberly

Ann & Rud,

I am so sorry to hear of JT's passing. I first knew him is when you did speech in Beijing China. I remember I translated several JT's stories online and introduced him and his stories to many Chinese families and friends. Then in 2006 when I first came to China, I live in JT's house. I get to know him more and often got his stories from Mian Wang.

But the true experiences with JT is from 2007 when I join Beach Center. He was so sweet and kind to me and Skylar. I remember one day, he called my name"Kimberly" and I turned around. He came to me and give a big hug and pat on my shoulder. This action is beyond my expecation. Shelby said with smile that he seldom do this and he must be very happy. I know JT, he is happy man and can sand his happiness to all others. I was deeply touched by his happiness, and then I feel so happy at that time.

You are a hard worker at Beach Center and almost whenver I am at Beach Center, you are here doing your work. In the thanksgivng party and Christmas party, Frank and I went to you house and we had really a good time together! Then now, I am now in Seattle and talked with you on phone on this Christmans Eve. You called my name and told me you are with Amy and all family members in Chicago. I told Frank" JT must be very happy today!" It is really hard for me to know you will leave us in ten days!

Oh. God! That's life! Real Life. He will be remembered by us as the greatest teacher and inspiration for sure! I will keep you in my mind forever!

We were all enriched by JT with us, who was such a good friend to many and all he met. However, despite this time of grief, we will also celebrate his life and the grand impact he has had on us all.

Frank and my parents join me to send our sincere condolence to you. Ann & Rud, please take care of yourselves in this time of sadness.
