|  Contributor : Gordon Lee | Mrs Lim was a genuinely warm and friendly person. Throughout all these years I always made a point to contact her whenever I visited San Francisco. Now visiting the Bay area will never be the same. She will be missed. Contributor : Olivier Hubert We will always remember Mary-Rose very fondly. She was such a lovely lady, kind and sweet, always smiling and caring, and so proud of her children. We will miss her and her smile. | ||||||||||||||
