Bill Yu We all miss our dear brother-in-the-Lord, Solomon. I remember when we got up very early, 5 o’clock in the morning and started to read the Bible and we read the book of Ecclesiastes for the first few mornings. We all knew that Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon, the wisest man ever lived according to the Bible. Our brother Solomon Chen lived wisely a life recommended by King Solomon “Ecc 12:13 This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.”.
May the Lord’s peace and comfort be with you and the family during this difficult time. We knew it is just a temporary goodbye, we will see him in the future in the Lord.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to your family during this time of loss. May God provide you with real comfort at this time and in the days forward. I am sure that you can also celebrate his life, and I pray that together you will be able to support each other in many special ways. I remember when my wife Iris lost her mom to cancer.
