Professor Fung Yee Chan
from http://www.uq.edu.au/equity/index.html?page=31508&pid=31508&ntemplate=297
Professor in Maternal Fetal Medicine FRANZCOG, FHKCOG, FHKAM, FRCOG, DDU, CMFM, MD Mater Mothers' Hospital, South Brisbane Phone: + 61 7 3840 8844 Fax: +61 7 3840 1949 Email: fchan@mater.org.au (mailto:fchan@mater.org.au)
Professor Chan is a graduate of the University of Hong Kong. She received most of her specialist training in Hong Kong, including one year as a Commonwealth Scholar in Oxford in 1984. She is a Fellow of the Hong Kong, British, and Australian & New Zealand Colleges of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists.
Professor Chan migrated to Australia in 1993, and completed the Certificate of Maternal Fetal Medicine of the RANZCOG in 1995. She was the first Queensland Obstetrician to receive this Subspecialist certificate, and one of twelve in Australia at that time. In the same year, she was awarded a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Hong Kong.
She was the founding Director of Centre for Maternal Fetal Medicine at the Mater Mothers' Hospital, and has a current conjoint appointment as Professor and Senior Specialist in Maternal Fetal Medicine at the University of Queensland, Mater Mothers' Hospital. Professor Chan's interest covers all aspects of antenatal screening, diagnosis, and therapy. Recognising the difficulties in providing tertiary services poised by the vast size of Australia, her team has successfully pioneered the use of real-time tele-ultrasound to provide sub-specialist expertise to regional centres in Queensland. She received several National awards, and has been invited to scientific meetings overseas to present this work.
As an extension of their telemedicine expertise, her team has also tele-linked to a world renowned fetal therapy centre in Florida (USA). This has assisted in the successful introduction of fetal endoscopic surgery to Australia. The Mater has now performed the largest number of fetsocopic laser surgery for severe twin to twin transfusion syndrome in the Asia Pacific, with results matching the best centres around the world. Professor Chan is keen to continue their telemedicine work to other centres in Australia, and overseas.

懷念好朋友﹣鳳儀 26.6.2007
我是護士, 在QM與鳳儀共渡好幾年的日子 １９７９﹣１９８４。那時在UMU, 鳳儀是HO, 我是 Junior RN, 好投緣。白天一起工作, 晚上, 我 On night，她On call，好忙都好開心。好多時, 她僅有的星期天 1/2 day off, 我們都相聚。遠則郊遊, 近則吃一餐, 看電影.。在宿舍, 我偶爾煮到好東西, 都會 Called 鳳儀一起開餐。那時, 我很羨慕她,讀書多, 好聰明, 學習快, 好叻。最重要是很好脾氣, 對病人好有愛心, 對同事, 護士們都很好。還有, 是夠瘦, 更令我羨慕不已。有次去赤柱買牛仔褲, 最細碼的, 她仍覺闊, 最後買童裝。其實, 想深一層, 她確是太瘦了, 工作太辛苦吧！
我們甚麼都談, 講出心底話。我更曾天真地為她出頭。回想, 我倆都很傻。就這樣過了好幾年「老友記」的歲月。隨著鳳儀建立了小家庭, 醫院的工作日益繁重, 我們玩樂的時間當然減少。但依然聯系著。８4年, 當我有自己的小單位, 她還把家中的雪櫃和睡床, 親自搬送到沙田給我。這些情, 這些事, 都像昨天的事。她的聲音, 她的笑面, 她的神態,恍惚仍在眼前。
鳳儀： ２０年過去了, 我們各自努力走自己的路。您的驕人成就, 我為您而自豪。但偶爾聽到些不快樂的消息, 我便擔心, 巴不得在您身邊能與您分擔。我自己也曾跌倒, 也曾灰心, 也有黑暗日子, 更嚐受過最親, 最愛和摯友等的離世而悲痛. 幸運地我都已復原了。.我常渴望有天能與您再聚, 細訴, 分擔和分享。我想再煮些美味食物一起吃, 邊看我們青春少艾時的相片……….
鳳儀: 我仍未能接受這事實。既然如此,就當您仍然在遠方彼岸。每當我想念您的時候, 遙遠地給我打招呼吧！
願您在天父之旁,快樂,自在和平安。
With Best Love

主禮: 藍黃珍妮牧師 司琴: 梁愷瑩
經句: 牧師
耶穌說：「復活在我，生命也在我。信我的人，雖然死了，也必復活，凡活著信我的人，必永遠不死。」〈約翰11:25-26〉
「因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去。」
(提前6:7〉
「上帝愛世人，甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的，不至滅亡，反得永生。」〈約翰3:16〉
「因為我深信無論是死，是生，是天使，是掌權的，是有能的，是現在的事，是將來的事，是高處的，是低處的，是別的受造之物，都不能叫我們與上帝的愛隔絕；這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌褢的。」〈羅馬書8:38-39〉
聖詩: 善牧恩慈歌
萬愛之王，乃我善牧，仁德恩慈永不移；
我若歸衪，衪永屬我。我將再無窮困時。
我靈蒙救，由衪導引，來享安息活水邊；
到芳草地，飽嚐靈糧，十分快樂享天筵。
我因愚妄，屢入歧途，衪因愛我來追尋；
將我輕輕，安放肩頭，歡然攜我進家門。
我雖經過，死亡幽谷，親愛之主在身旁；
主杖主竿，仍安慰我，十架引我向前方。
主在我前，大開筵席，頒賜慈恩極豐盛；
蒙主用油，膏我的頭，使我福杯得充盈。
這樣經過，生活長途，主德主恩永不移；
但願長住，善牧家裡，虔誠頌讚無盡期。阿們。
經課: 凌碧娟
約翰福音十四章1-3節，又27節
耶穌說：「你們心褢不要憂愁；你們信上帝，也當信我。在我父的家褢有許多住處；若是沒有，我就早已告訴你們了。我去原是為你們預備地方去。我若去為你們預備了地方，就必再來接你們到我那褢去，我在那褢，叫你們也在那褢。我留下平安給你們，我將我的平安賜給你們。我所賜的，不像世人所賜的。你們心褢不要憂愁，也不要膽怯。

詩篇二十三篇
耶和華是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。
他使我躺臥在青草地上，領我在可安歇的水邊。
他使我的靈魂甦醒，為自己的名引導我走義路。
我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷，也不怕遭害，
因為你與我同在；你的杖，你的竿，都安慰我。
在我敵人面前，你為我擺設筵席；
你用油膏了我的頭，使我的福杯滿溢。
我一生一世切有恩惠慈愛隨著我；
我且要住在耶和華的殿中，直到永遠。
但願榮耀歸於聖父，聖子，聖靈；
始初如此，現今如此，後來如此，永無窮盡。阿們。

聖詩: 我知誰管著明天
我不知明天的道路，每一天只為主活。
我不借明天的太陽，因明天或許陰暗，
我不要為將來憂慮，因我信主的應許，
我今天要與主同行，因衪知前面如何。〈副歌〉
每一步越走越光明，像攀登黃金階梯；
每重擔越挑越輕省，每朵雲披上銀衣；
在那裡陽光常普照，在那裡沒有眼淚；
在美麗彩虹的盡頭，眾山嶺與天相連。〈副歌〉
我不知明天的道路，或遭遇生活苦楚；
但那位養活麻雀者，衪必然也看顧我，
衪是我旅途的良伴，或經過水火之災，
但救主必與我同在，衪寶血把我遮蓋。〈副歌〉
〈副歌〉: 有許多未來的事情，我現在不能識透，
但我知誰管著明天，我也知誰牽我手。
主禱文: 會眾同頌
我們在天上的父，願人皆尊父名為聖；願父國降臨；願父旨意成就在地，如同成就在天。我們日用的飲食，求父今日賜與我們。又求饒恕我們的罪，如我們饒恕得罪我們的人。保佑我們，不入誘惑；拯救我們，脫離凶惡。因為國度、權柄、榮耀、皆屬於父，永無窮盡。阿們。
祝文: 牧師
至慈悲之上帝，我主耶穌基督之父啊，主耶穌曾說：「復活在我，生命在我，信我者，雖死必生；凡生而信我者，永遠不死。」主又藉聖使徒保羅教訓我們，不要像無希望之人，為信主的人之去世而憂傷。現今復求天父，將我們從罪惡死亡中，領入公義之新生命，在我們去世之時，可以因耶穌得享平安，好像我們對這位姊妹陳鳳儀所盼望其能得享平安無異，在最後共同復活之時，可蒙主悅納，得能接受聖子在那時所賜之福；屆時，聖子將向敬愛主之人說：「你們蒙我父寵愛的，前來承受創世以來為你們所預備之國。」求慈悲之父，藉我們之中保，救主耶穌基督，應允我們之祈禱。阿們。
祝福: 牧師
願全能的上帝，聖父、聖子、聖靈，賜福你們，保護你們，直到永遠。阿們。

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught by heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did not grace appear, the hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toil and snares, I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.

Dear classmates and friends,
Sorry for the delay in sending you this letter.
Fung Yee's funneral was held in Brisbane on the 9/6/2007. More than 200 people turned up. Opportunity was given to say goodbye to her body. She looked calm and peaceful.
A lot of photos of Fung Yee together with her family and friends were shown. Speeches were given by her colleagues in the hospital, her sister-Jean, her best friend-Winnie and her daughter Elaine. Her colleagues spoken highly of her, particularly her contribution in foetal medicine. Elaine played a piece of music composed by her, in memory of her mother.
It is heart breaking and is still very difficult to accept that such a lovely and talented friend had left us already. She has touched the hearts of so many people in Hong Kong and in Australia. She will be fondly remembered and she is always on our mind.
My best regards,
Wai Ki Pun

Hi fellow classmates,
I have been using a different email address most of the time so it was not until today that we learned the untimely death of our dear Chan Fung-Yee. We were truly saddened by this loss.
Though we have not met since our last reunion in 1999, we will always remember her as a sincere friend, a diligent medical student, a wonderful doctor, and a remarkable scholar.
It does seem incomprehensible that God often prematurely takes away the best among us. However, instead of lamenting over her death, let us celebrate her life, which is a life well-lived.

Dear Ko,
Thanks for providing the information for the memorial service for Fung Yee. It is still hard to express the feeling for her.
The world is so strange, and have things happen to a wonderful lady that I have no explanation. Many times that I am thinking of her. It must be very hard for the family.
We are getting old (or older only). Although we know a lot of medical knowledge, and in practice for such a length of time. Last time I was in Hong Kong, someone said that when Prof David Todd taught us in 1974-1979, he was less experience in the number of year of practice than what we had now.
We are all have equal chance to suffer from various diseases, stress, family issue etc. One can only do so much. Life is always busy, and will always be tired up by the emergent and urgent stuff. That may or may not be important. I wish I have more time to support and chat with Fung Yee. Now I talk to her in my prayer.
Let's start a Medic 79 chat room. Let not distance to separate us. We have so much in common, and so much have changed. I am not a computer, internet or web person. I only know about is the email. My dear computer person in Medic 79, can you advice how to do it ? or if email is the way to go ?
May God bless Fung Yee in heaven. May God be with you all my friend.

Dear Fung Yee,
I was so numb for the whole week. I attended my patients in clinic as usual, Yung Chee has said a lot around me, but I have no recollection of what has been done or has been said.
When we said goodbye in Pearson Airport in Toronto, that was in September, 2005, your last words were: "Please remind Carbon to do regular exercise when you meet him in Hong Kong next March, he needs to keep active and healthy." You cared about others as always, more than yourself. As a physician, you are so ready to help but so reluctant to cry for help.
We played pingpong in my basement; I told you that I started the game 3 months ago because I couldn't stand the empty nest alone while Yung Chee spent at least 4 nights per week in the club. You giggled, and were too polite to state the truth, and told me that I was a "talented" player. I'm still trying hard, and I’ve promised you that the next game will be very different.
Don't forget, we still have an appointment in Australia, Toronto or Hongkong for another pingpong match. In Old Halls, you, Yuk Chun & May were the frequent player in the pingpong room, while I was always the uninterested bystander. However, I'll take your advice, keep active and healthy, and will keep the hobby.
You & Carbon, Florence & KK, Yung Chee & I, met weekly for study group when we decided to take the Australian medical licentiate examination. You were the most learned leader of the whole group and always the one who came up with the correct answer. You made south to Australia while we moved west to Canada, the physical distance kept us apart while our hearts were still closely knitted. We exchange Christmas wishes and made sure that we did all the catching-ups every year.
Life is not easy, a professional woman, a wife, a mother, a member of the community where we belong. You were clouded with frustration and disappointment. We talked, we smiled, we cried, we embraced each other. I was the patient listener, the not too successful comforter, and a failed "counsellor".
"Life has to go on." You signed. Your latest Christmas greeting was more reassuring, you told me that the worst was over, life was challenging but managerable, you replied to my email & remarked that my Christmas family photo was very beautiful and you can still remember my winding staircase. You promised that you'll come around to visit us again whenever in town for any international conference. "You're welcome to stay in my place if you plan a vacation in Brisbane, I will be your host & tour guide." – you said so in my backyard; I will hang on to that rain cheque until we meet again.
Virginia said that “death is not the end but the beginning”, please remember to greet me in heavenly gate with St. Peter and show me around.
Forgive me for not calling & writing often enough. If only life can be put into reverse mode, I think I would be much wiser. ‘The four medic golden flowers of Old Halls' as we were nicknamed, for the remaining three, life have to go on as you’ve said, but life will never be the same without you for all who have crossed in your life.
Fung Yee, I love to see you smile again.
Love,

Dear Fung Yee,
I was so numb for the whole week. I attended my patients in clinic as usual, Yung Chee has said a lot around me, but I have no recollection of what has been done or has been said.
When we said goodbye in Pearson Airport in Toronto, that was in September, 2005, your last words were: "Please remind Carbon to do regular exercise when you meet him in Hong Kong next March, he needs to keep active and healthy." You cared about others as always, more than yourself. As a physician, you are so ready to help but so reluctant to cry for help.
We played pingpong in my basement; I told you that I started the game 3 months ago because I couldn't stand the empty nest alone while Yung Chee spent at least 4 nights per week in the club. You giggled, and were too polite to state the truth, and told me that I was a "talented" player. I'm still trying hard, and I’ve promised you that the next game will be very different.
Don't forget, we still have an appointment in Australia, Toronto or Hongkong for another pingpong match. In Old Halls, you, Yuk Chun & May were the frequent player in the pingpong room, while I was always the uninterested bystander. However, I'll take your advice, keep active and healthy, and will keep the hobby.
You & Carbon, Florence & KK, Yung Chee & I, met weekly for study group when we decided to take the Australian medical licentiate examination. You were the most learned leader of the whole group and always the one who came up with the correct answer. You made south to Australia while we moved west to Canada, the physical distance kept us apart while our hearts were still closely knitted. We exchange Christmas wishes and made sure that we did all the catching-ups every year.
Life is not easy, a professional woman, a wife, a mother, a member of the community where we belong. You were clouded with frustration and disappointment. We talked, we smiled, we cried, we embraced each other. I was the patient listener, the not too successful comforter, and a failed "counsellor".

From So Kam Fai:
Still remember those days with Fung Yee during the Medic 79 years and the several years when living in Old Halls. She has always been the sweet, soft-speaking, kind-hearted, inspiring and knowledgeable girl. Her sudden passing away is a shock to me and definitely a shock to all of us.
We last met in Ellen Leung’s home in 2005 when she visited Toronto.
Fung Yee’s death definitely made us recalling the sweet memory of our old days in HKU medical faculty during the years 74-79.
We are sorry for your leave but Fung Yee, rest and enjoy the heavenly love from our God!

Dear YC,
Thank you for your sharing. It was our blessing to have Fung Yee as ourclassmate. Alos, I have many fond memorites of working with her, while she was doing an elective with us in the Department of Medicine at Queen Mary Hospital. We will all remember her dearly in our hearts.

上星期, 家中的厠所水箱壞了, 有好幾天還沒有修理好, 水不停漏出來, 晚上睡覺也睡不好, 驚怕水漏到廳中. 突然間人很煩燥, 心想很多對其他人是很小的事, 在我卻是很困難的事. 在師傅星期五完成修理之後, 以為可以好好睡一覺. 不料晚上卻收到了消息, 說你己經離開了我們, 回到天國.
這個星期, 除了工作, 也不知自己在做什麼. 腦裹總是出現你的種種情境. 心裡有多個不解的問題, 也是多麽的不願意, 為什麼天父不能讓你在這世上多住一會, 為什麼天父要這麽傷我們的心.
鳳儀, 你一直是一個堅强, 勇敢的人. 對人實在太好了. 從來都沒有說一個不字, 沒有怨天尤人. 每事都能積極面對, 努力做好每件事. 有困難也努力去解決, 很少倚賴別人. 回想起你的一切,一切, 實在想不出你有任何可以令人不滿的事. 一直以來, 我們都為你的為人, 成就, 你的一切而驕傲. 我相信你亦為你所做的一切驕傲.
在翻看一些舊相片時候, 看到大學時的照片, 你是一個快樂的少女;在牛津的日子, 你是一個幸福的妻子; 在行醫的時候, 你是一個充滿自信的教授; 和女兒一起的時候, 你眼裹總是充滿關愛的神情. 無論在那一方面, 你都付出太多太多. 我想每個和你有接觸的人, 不論是你的親人, 朋友, 同事, 病人, 都對你充滿感謝. 因為你從來作事, 都不是從自己的利益出發, 也不是為金錢, 地位而作.
鳳儀, 你實在太努力了, 以致連自己的身体也顧不了. 因你所作的, 己經比別人多作了十年, 廿年的事. 但我們卻寧願你多照顧好自己的身體. 我們從你所得的, 是永遠不能彌補你離去的創傷.
鳳儀, 請你也不要掛心. 因你的努力, 己經為各人各事打好根基. 你的女兒, 己经長大成人.
回想在醫學院一起生活的時候, 女同學不多. 現在各人都有不同的發展, 見面也不多. 但那姊妹之情, 卻深深地懷在心底裹. 幾十年, 雖然生命中有很多的無奈, 也有錯誤的決定, 但如果再來一次, 我想我們選擇走的路都不會改變.
鳳儀, 我們心裹永遠懷念你. 讓我們將來在天國見面的時候, 能好好的詳談, 訴說在世上的一切喜與悲.

Dear Yuk Chun,
It's so nice to hear your kind and loving words under this sort of heart breaking circumstances!
Tonight, both Elaine and I have spend hours to sort out some past photos to make a power point slide show during the ceremony. It seems not too long ago that we were still cooking in Oxford and making our footsteps around the gardens and various sites in that special city.
Anyway, today is a brighter day and both Elaine and me have stopped flowing tears. We are getting out of the shock. She actually drove me to see the church after having learned just four to five hours on the road from a driving teacher. She did drove pretty well.
Besides, she has already composed a beautiful song to play during the ceremony.
The funeral service is going to be held in the Sunnybank District Baptist Church at 127 Nemies Road, Runcorn, Q4109 at 1pm on the 9th of June. It is the church that Fung Yee used to go to.
The news about her death has also appeared in the most popular local newspaper Courier Mail which described her as a "miracle" baby doctor.
Fung Yee has definitely reached a very happy place in heaven. She does not need to bear any more of the difficulties and sufferings from this world. Let's thank God for the grace that has already been bestowed upon her.
Please take good care of yourself and thank CS and all colleagues that have sent loving thoughts or writings to Fung Yee.
wish you all the best blessings,

Dear Medic 79 Classmate,
It's really sad to recieve the bad news that Fung Yee is not with us anymore.
At present, we have 2 arrangement
1. we shall send some condolatory money to her family (via her sister-in-law who will go to Australia tomorrow). I shall deposit the money to her account first and any classmate who wants to contribute some can transfer (*see separate email) .There is no need to send me any bank receipt.
I shall keep the account, and any excess will be sent to the family in future.
2. Chin will keep contact with Pun Wai Ki in Australia to send a flower ring to the funeral.
3. I have the telephone number and e-mail address of Ka Pun (through his sister). Anyone who wants to speak to him directly can contact me directly.
Last night, I prayed to God. God said He have led Fung Yee rest in peace in Heaven. She will not be disturbed anymore. I thanked the Almighty God.

She had received tremendous help and support from her many good friends surronding her, especially Winnie who was her classmate at St Stephen's Girls College. Unfortunately. she left us despite all our effort.
Her husband said she looked peaceful with a gentle smile on her face when he saw her in the hospital.
Her daughter Elaine is in the final year of her highschool study.She will be well look after by Fung Yee's best friend ,Winnie and her aunty.
Fung Yee's funneral is at 12.30 pm on 09/06/2007 at Sunny Bank District Baptist Church, 127 Nemies Road,Runcorn,Brisbane, Australia.

Dear Fung Yee,
Just can't believe it! So shocking! Tell me it's not true. We've not yet prepared for that.
You've just called us a few days ago! We still joked for you to take over Fook's business in HK and we're just wondering for your return.How come! Your half time business now starts in heaven! We haven't explored about that. That's talk...........................
Such a beautiful and elegant lady, my beloved friend, I miss you! ..................Do rest in peace and enjoy your life!
I can't agree with Chu Yuk Chun more, we do need to learn to express our feelings and take good care of ourselves.
God bless you!

My dear fellow medic 79 classmates,
I was unable to keep the tears in when the photos came on the screen, the old memory just keep rushing in.
I talked to Wai Ki this morning, the funeral is scheduled coming Saturday. Do you have any words or thought for Fung Yee? Do you want to send a condolence to her family? Please send them by email to Pun Wai Ki, he's kind enough to print them out and will pass them on to the family. Thank you Wai Ki for your help during this difficult time.

沙宣道上齊奮鬥
明原堂裡笑燈前
瑪麗院中無日夜
共苦同甘慣無眠
一朝分隔南與北
魚雁雖疏意綿綿
不畏艱難闢新路
香江異國聲斐然
一世人作兩世事
辛勤耕耘苦堅持
既有始時必有結
殊途只差早與遲
今天暫別我續走
他朝重會話當年

Dear Raymond,
I has also just received the sad news from another source. I was deeply shocked by the news. When I met her in Hong kong in February this year, she seemed to be OK. She has worked in our Department before. She was a very dedicated doctor and she had contributed a lot to the developent of fetal medicine both in Hong Kong and in Australia. She has become an international figure because of her excellent work and contribution in management of complicated twin pregnancies and fetal medicine. It is a great loss to the community and the specialty of O&G.

A mail from Fung Yee on 15 Sept 2004:
Very nice to hear from you, and thank you for your well wishes. It is great to know that friends are out there still.
Yes, I did have some troubles. I was overworking myself, and neglecting my health. Luckily, I had very good friends, who supported me through someratherdifficult times.
I am now making sure that I go to the gym regularly (as regularaspossible!), and my health is coming back. I have been very blessed in my life, and there are certainly many things that I remain very grateful for.Having wonderful friends has been one of my best blessings!
Thank you again. Do let friends who care for me know that I have learnt my lesson, and will be careful with my health.
Best wishes to you, and your family,
Fung Yee.

These are some of Fung Yee's earlier message:
******
Elaine can't come with me this trip either. This is not her term break time, and she is in grade 12, so can't really take any holidays. That's why my trip is so short, so that I can be with her as much as possible. If I can't get to meet this time, hopefully will get a longer period next time in HK.
best wishes,
Fung Yee. (13 Feb 2007)
******
Kung Hey Fat Choy, and nice to hear from you.
Yes, I will be back for a week 25th Feb to 3rd March, but attending a full conference, so not much time left to do anything else.
Love to meet, but not sure can make it to meet many,
Fung Yee. (12 Feb 2007)
*****
Yes, time really flies. Elaine is in year 11 now. Not sure what she wants to do in Uni yet. Another year to go...
I am in fact in great shape. I have gone through a very difficult period a few years ago, and Queensland public hospitals have a lot of turmoil about 18 months ago. While problems are unlikely to be ever completely resolved in any hospital systems around the world, the scandals have been so bad, and manpower obviously so terrible, that they have no option but to do something about it. Things are getting a little bit easier, though still far from ideal.
Now that I have learnt to trust my Lord, and just do whatever I can, my frustrations are much less. I have learnt to take a much more positive outlook in life. While I cannot change my personality after all these years, I realised I have been very blessed in my life, and there is certainly lots for me to be grateful for...
I haven't been back HK a little while now, but should be coming back in Feb for an ultrasound conference. Hope to be able to catch up with you and Huen.
best wishes,
Fung Yee. (20 Sept 2006)

While I cannot change my personality after all these years, I realised I have been very blessed in my life, and there is certainly lots for me to be grateful for...
I haven't been back HK a little while now, but should be coming back in Feb for an ultrasound conference. Hope to be able to catch up with you and Huen.
best wishes,
Fung Yee. (20 Sept 2006)

Dear Chin,
Can you find out how we can send our condolence to Australia. Will Wai Ki be able to help ? please let us know.
In fact I had been talking to Fung Yee a few times lately concerning her career. We all miss her.

Dear Medic 79, do you have any photo of Fung Yee to upload ? Please upload for her memory. I will try to find the one about 2 years ago.
Can someone teach me how to do it on the site? I am not very web literate. There must be more Medic 79 then the above list. Can someone help to contact the others out of touch.

Dear Medic 79,
It has been long many year since 1979. The days of memory is still vivid: in the medic canteen, halls, the Sasson Road, library, and under the tree outside the library. Then the time changed to clerkship, busy houseman, graduation, practice and now a successful doctor. Life is just a long journey that sometimes we are on a good point of interest, sometimes low low. As we are so busy (or we keep ourselves so), we may be lost in time. My days are packed with things : kids, parents, work, house, mortgage, car, daily chores etc.
My mother had a serious illness and had 7 long years of therapy. I am blessed with friends, church, and family that are supportive. She rested in peace and died last year. I was there with her all the time. I knew the pain and anxiety for my mother. I am heart broken to even think of what kind of suffering that Fung Yee had. I regret that I cannot be of much help. It is sad to lose a good friend, so young, so good and so beautiful.
Dear friends, may be this is a time that we should stop and think. What can we do now towards those that we care and as they are still with us on earth. I echoed the words of Yuk Chun.

Hi all
14 emails ! -- and to know I will not see 鳳儀 again. My heart is heavy tonight.
There was the assumption all of us will meet again, one time or another, and now it is not going to be. I last saw 鳳儀 with Pun Wai Kee in 2001 in Brisbane, while attending a conference there. I saw a quietly confident and experienced woman. She was very attached to her daughter.
I have spent a few hours digging up and digitising old photos I have of her - KC - could you post them to the blog?I will send a few at a time to not overload your email quota.Regards to everyone from Australia.I will be back for a visit on 1 September.

Hi all
Fung Yee was on Australian TV a few years back - she has a snippet in a Telstra (national telephone company) ad which was run every night on the TV - highlighting what the telephone can do to medicine ...

Dear KC Lam,
Thanks for the news. It is really sad to hear this news. She will always be in my heart. I just had exchanged email with her last Christmas.
Thanks again.

Dear KC Lam,
Is there an address that I can send a card to her family members?

Dear Fung Yee,
the news about you is not true. Probably someone is just joking with you. Please reply to us asap so as to make everybody relieved.
Although we haven't met for ? 2-3 years, we still have a plan to go to a trip in China. You said you need to bring your daughter to China for her to have a look what China look like. You said you are very busy with your work and you are worried about your family condition. We don't know what we can do about it but deep in our mind, we are worried about you. I hope you don't blame us for not calling you or writing to you most of the time, leaving you alone to face all the problems.
I understand that we all present as strong and wise, beautiful and diligent, able to taking care of all others, but deep in our mind, we have so many problems and uncertainties, not able to talk to others, not to say to solve it ourselves. Perhaps we just rely on ourselves too much, perhaps we can just leave some responsibilities to others, and stop for a while (I mean not forever please), to think of ourselves a bit when we think of others, to say to God who can always understand us even we cannot find the right word to say it out.
Dear Fung Yee, we form a hiking group with May in the past few years and we walk and talk. I call it talking meditation, as we've been trained not to talk our heart, our feeling during all the years as doctors. When I was sick few years ago, I found it most difficult to speak out my feeling. Now I have no reserve if you ask me what I feel, not just what I think intellectually. I think that's what you need most.
Dear Fung Yee, I understand you have a few good friends in Australia, but Australia is a big country, it is not easy to meet friends so easily as in HK, but now we have the e-mail, please make no excuse of having no time even to write a few words. Although it may be difficult to start, just like what I am doing now, I know it is healthy to us.
Dear Fung Yee, Remember the time when we were in the hall, we studied and lived together, Ellen, May, Ka Foon and you are more dear to me than my sisters. Although we didn't see each other much when you worked in QMH afterwards. Remember the good time when we were in Oxford. The exchange rate is only 8.8 to 1 pound. We went shopping every weekend, we went ot cinermas. Probably that's one of the best time in your life.
After back in HK, my memory about that period was fading. I only remember that I worked and worked, not able to meet friends or even go shopping. You moved to Australia and we met even less. You've been back several times, although we met, but we hadn't much time to talk.
Remember last time when we stayed in May's home, we played badminton, we talked about our kids, your daughter, May's son and my son are all about the same age. They all play music and badminton. We felt so happy, but at the same time, worred about our kids. We worried about you most, as we knew your problems and we understood you are not someone who always grumble.
1 years ago, Ka Foon, Tiu, you and I planned a trip to China. Unfortunately we had to cancel it last minute as most of us are bound by all these works and we were not assertive enough to continue our plan. That was about 1 year ago that I heard from you.
I recieved your Christmas card always, I still remembered you sent me your Christmas greeting last Dec and I wrote to you saying we had a good time when Lee Yuk Kuen was back from US. You said you might be back this Feb, however I have lost contact with you afterwards. Are you sick all these time. What has happened to you.
Remember we are always with you, and hope able to share your problems. We pray God to take care of Fung Yee because she is your wonderful daughter, our good friend, a good doctor, a good mother and a good wife. Always remembering and loving you,
YC Chu

Fung Yee is still fresh in my mind when I invited her few years ago as a keynote speaker for my medical informatics conference for an excellent presentation in telediagnosis. With such an eminent scholar and world expert leaving us is a sad loss to this world.
I will remember you forever, Fung Yee. May you rest in peace.

Dear fellow Medic 79 classmates,
Sorry and shocked to learn about Fung Yee's untimely pass away. I am sure she will always be remembered by all of us.
I am wondering whether we can set up a memorial website or photo album for her, if anyone of you have any old photos of Fung Yee, especially those taken in the good old days of undergrad period, can you send them on line, and can our computer experts, like Wong Chun Bor, Tang Kuen Yan etc, help to set up the website?
