Our Mother, Sun Shiang Law Chang was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China on November 2, 1920, and went with our Lord at 6:40AM on August 8, 2007.
Mother married our father, Lien Shui Chang, on January 6, 1937. She is survived by five sons, three daughters, five daughters-in-law, three sons-in-law, 18 grand-children and five great grand-children. In 1946, Mother followed her husband and moved from Ningbo to Shanghai. After the Chinese liberation in 1950, both relocated to Hong Kong with their eldest son Wo Tat. In 1968, our father first went to the Bahamas for business, leaving Mother to raise all eight children alone in Hong Kong. In 1970, she joined our father to the Bahamas. Three years later, the entire family immigrated to Miami, United States and then to Maryland in 1978.
Mother was a quiet, kind, generous, hard-working lady. She loved her husband and children immensely. She enjoyed big family gatherings and loved to cook for the grand children, making sure their stomachs were never half empty. Despite her illiteracy, Mother was always eager to learn how to read and write. While her husband was away in the Bahamas, she enjoyed reading his letters and writing to him. Mother was a very hospitable person, always serving others first. Throughout her entire life, she was always the last to eat, and many times, she even went hungry without food.
In her early years, Mother had always been loyal to worshipping Buddha and other Chinese gods. Upon coming to America, Mother was brought along to church on one occasion. During the service, she felt touched by the hymns, learning that all her burdens could be cast onto Jesus. On that day in 1977, she accepted Christ Jesus into her heart as her personal Lord and Savior. Since then, her faith has been continually strengthened through the consistency of her prayer life. Mother’s favorite songs were Amazing Grace and ????. She particularly enjoyed the Joyful Fellowship with other brothers and sisters at church and looked forward to Sunday worship. Her biggest desire is for her entire family, including son/daughter-in-laws, grandchildren, and future generations, to come to know the Lord.
In the early 2000s, Mother suffered a debilitating foot problem, inhibiting her ability to walk, and causing her health to begin deteriorating. This incident led her to become bed-bound, and in 2005, she was placed in a nursing home. On August 6, Mother was admitted to Shady Grove Adventist Hospital for pneumonia, and then two days later, at 6:40AM, she went peacefully with the Lord.
We all miss you Mom and Grandma! We’re looking forward to seeing you one day in Heaven!
