She had an elder brother, an elder sister, a younger brother and a younger sister. While her elder sister resides in Hong Kong, her other siblings all live in the States.Helena had received good education since her childhood. After graduating from high school, she went to Macao to undertake teacher training in kindergarten education. On completion of her training, she returned to Hong Kong and began teaching in the Hong Kong Ling Liang Primary School and Kindergarten in 1973 for six years. In September 1979, she returned to her mother school the St. Paul’s Co-educational College AM Primary School to teach elementary classes until her departure from Hong Kong in 2000. Her whole teaching career in Hong Kong lasted for 27 years.Helena accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior in 1972 and was baptized in the Diocese of Hong Kong and Macao. She gained acquaintance with Che Fai Au in 1975 at the North Point Methodist Church Fellowship. On July 23rd, 1979, they got married. They recently celebrated their 35th anniversary in July 2014.After her marriage, with a noble and virtuous character, Helena took good care of her spouse and children. Inspired by her passion for teaching, she continued to pursue her teaching career, and played an active role in different activities/ministries of her church. In particular, she served in the Methodist Children Choir for 11 years. Helena and Che Fai have a daughter and two sons. Christine, their eldest daughter, is married to Daniel Yip and has given birth to a son (Brenton) and a daughter (Abygail). Their two sons, Mathew and Jonathan, are still single.In August 2000, Helena’s family immigrated to the States and began residing in Milpitas in California. Besides acting as a teaching aid in the elementary schools in Milpitas Unified School District, she participated actively in Boy Scout troop meetings, Harold Cancer Care Network volunteer work caring for cancer patients, Church Sunday school, evangelism and short term mission trips. She had also taught at the Berryessa Chinese School, helping American born Chinese elementary and high school students learn Chinese. She had received much praise from the schools, her fellow teachers as well as parents. Before her illness, she completed a series of training for Administrative Medical Assistant.In August 2012, Helena was diagnosed stage four lung cancer. Throughout the last two years, in her relentless battle against cancer, she displayed commendable strength and courage, and utmost faith and trust in God. Before she started hospice service at home in August 2014, she once again gave testimony in her church. While she was unable to win the battle against cancer in the end, she had fought the good fight and had finished the race. Our Heavenly Father has taken her back to Heaven, where there is no more pain and suffering but eternal peace and joy abound. We will meet her again in future.
