Sook Kam Tsang

Ms. Sookam Tseng was born in the province of Fujian, China on January 22 1920. After she married Kan Sin Kui, they moved to Myanmar, where their two oldest sons were born. After the war, they moved back to Xiamen and had their third son. Currently the two older sons reside in Hong Kong. The eldest two sons both have two daughters and one son each, and the youngest son has one daughter. Mrs. Kan took care of all the grandchildren, especially Chi Ying. Mrs. Kan immigrated to United States in 1988, and lived with her youngest son for nearly thirty years. She cooked, took care of the household chores, and brought up her granddaughter during those years when she was still in good health. Mrs. Kan was an expert in embroidery, well known for her beautiful and elegant designs of nature such as flowers, peacocks, and trees. She once embroidered an elegant bedspread with 168 red roses and green leaves. Although Mrs. Kan did not have much schooling, she was strong-willed and did not allow any hardship to become an obstacle. She sacrificed all her life to her children and grandchildren. Her strong character and benevolent kindness set an example for many. She was hospitalized twice over the years, once to remove the gallbladder, and the other for quintuple heart bypass. Pastors and elders came to visit her at her sick bed and introduced Jesus Christ to her. She was again hospitalized early August of this year due to heart failure. Pastor Lam presented the gospel to her again, and she in turn affirmed her believe with utterances of “I believed in Jesus” and “Jesus, help me”. She returned to her heavenly home on September 12, 2015 at 8 a.m. peacefully in the arms of our Lord. 曾淑锦女士生于1920年，1月22日，福建省晋江市新市人氏。在晋江金井鎭曾坑村與鄞信奎結婚于本村。后隨丈夫一起出國東南亜缅甸國，其間在缅甸生有二子，長子鄞德意與次子鄞德財。抗日勝利后回國，居于厦门市，生第三子鄞德勝。長子與第二子兩家均居住在香港。長子有二女一男 ，次子也有二女一男,三子有一女。母亲天天照顾兒孫，特别是子櫻。母亲于1988年移民美國，與第三兒子一起生活近三十年。當年身体健康，經常煑飯燒菜，幫忙家務，教導孫女。母親是針織高手，手織成品多様化，有花草孔雀，人見人愛。她曾針織12x14 朶緑葉紅玖瑰花共168 朶連在一起的床罩，高貴優雅。母親雖然讀書不多，但她意志坚强，人本正直，從來没有向環境屈服，她一生為子女無私奉献，為我們建立一個好好的榜樣。多年來她曾入醫院两次，一次是開刀除胆手術，一次是通五條心血管手術，而每次牧师和長老都來探訪她，介绍耶稣基督，給她認識。八月初母親因心脏衰歇，再入院 RWJ University Hospital,身體特别虚弱，再次向她申述耶稣基督。她口説“我信耶稣”，“耶稣幫助我”，几天后心跳升高，不能喫喝，医治無效，于2015 年9月12日上午8時后返天家, 安息主懷。
