sew clothes to support herself and her family. Kay and Ken moved to Hong Kong as Robert's letters and money from the US were intercepted by China. Immigration reform proposed in 1963 increased their chances of immigrating to the US. In 1964, Kay and Ken embarked on a month-long voyage to the US, arriving in San Francisco, where they were welcomed by Robert. Prior to Kay's arrival, Robert had purchased their family home in Capitola, CA, where they settled. The following year, in 1965, their second son, Kelvin, was born, and in 1967, their third and youngest son, Karl, was born. Both Robert and Kay worked hard to build the American dream. Kay immediately found work at a local cannery, took classes to learn English, and learned to drive. She was determined to gain her citizenship as quickly as possible so she could sponsor her family. Kay and Robert sponsored many family members to the "Land of Opportunities." Kay loved spending time with her large extended family, working in her garden, spreading the word on eating healthy, and drinking water. She was a practitioner of daily exercise, watching the stock market, and learning English. On February 6, 2025, at the age of 96, Kay passed away from natural causes at Cypress Court Assisted Living Facility in Escondido, CA. She is survived by her three sons, Ken, Kelvin, and Karl; daughters-in-law, Menie and Agnes; grandchildren, Kathy, Brian, Ethan, Annika, and Katrina; and great granddaughters, Tori and Charli. Kay will be laid to rest and join Robert at San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery (marker 20 1805). Mother, rest in peace. You will always be in our hearts. Until we meet again.
