Uncle Shipeng’s presence has always brought a smile to my usually tired and glum face. I will always remember him for his friendly and supportive character. Every time I had school fundraising, uncle Shipeng was always very helpful and would gladly sponsor me. Sadly, as he has passed away, I have lost his sponsorship. I will never forget all the Christmas gifts I’ve received from uncle Shipeng, and I will cherish them forever. If uncle Shipeng were alive, I envision him biking around this beautiful location. He has left an everlasting impact on me for being the person that he was; easy-going, kind, and especially friendly to children. I’m sure that his cat, Snowy, will miss him the most. He may be gone, but uncle Shipeng will always be alive in my heart. May you rest peacefully, and I will see you again in the second life.
