Why I support Michelle Wu — A Personal Story
By Leverett Wing
My mother passed away 10 years ago.
Mom was our family’s foundation, my emotional compass and, to that point, our eight year-old son Lleyton’s best friend. Her death was devastating to Lleyton, my wife Marian, and me.
Chinese culture dictates that, at a wake/funeral, grieving families provide visitors candy and a coin (often used to spend on something sweet) wrapped in white paper as a way to help lessen the bitterness & sadness of death – an offering which Chinese-operated funeral homes usually take care of as part of their arrangements with families.
