Dear Friends
Hong Kong is still in a state of shock at the tragic loss of 38 lives in Monday night's ferry collision
One
thing I have learned from Ming Pao editorial below:
children on HK ferries are supposed to wear a life jacket at all times
In all my years in HK, I have never seen a child wear a life jacket on a HK ferry
Logic would suggest that everyone, not just children, on a ferry should wear a life jacket....just like people in cars using seat belts. Not convenient, but seat belts save many lives and prevent many injuries, and maybe many if not most of the above 38 might have been saved if wearing life jackets

Also
on this day, in 2005, my dear mother went home to heaven.
Her funeral service was held the next day, at the Capuchin Franciscan parish of
Guardian Angels in Brisbane, where Mum and Dad were loyal parishioners for many
years.
Mum and Dad's grave (their favorite song, which Mum loved to play on the
piano, was HGTA)
God bless!
