I was deeply saddened by the news about the recent passing of Zhang "Joan" Shuhua who is a very nice and intelligent lady. Please remember that Ms. Zhang 's daughter Jai Jai and Fay Fay and family members are in my thoughts and my prayers.
The first time I met Ms. Zhang was over 30 years ago while we were living in University Village. Ms. Zhang and her family opened an East Grocery Store called “Eastern Garden” on Foothill near SLC County Library very close to U of U Village.
The last time I met your Ms. Zhang was in front of her cottonwood height home during the COVID-19 Pandemic time. I was sending a case of masks (that my customers sent me a lot of ) to Zhang's family and saw her and her new husband by chance then we talked a little in front of their home as they just barely traveled back from South Utah National Park. I just stopped by as our both homes are very close.
Between the 1st time and last time of meeting Ms. Zhang and her family, we had many meetings and parties together over 25 years. As Ms. Zhang was a CAST Utah member while Jai Jai's father was one of the founding and lifetime members of CAST Utah same as I have been until this time.
I am saddened for Ms. Zhang's loss. She was a very nice and intelligent lady. Please accept our genuine condolences in this difficult time for Zhang's daughters who loss of their mother is a significant loss.
Wishing the Memory of their mother will give Ms. Zhang daughters comfort, and her legacy lives through them all in the loving memory of their mother. My heartfelt condolence for the loss of their mother for Jai Jai and Fay Fay.
With my deep sympathy and love,
Lao Fu, Ms. Zhang's family neighbor for over 28 years

I met Shuhua shortly after I moved to Salt Lake City in 1997. She was very warm and caring, and we quickly became friends. After I left Salt Lake City in 1999, we stayed in touch, over emails, wechat and occasional long calls, especially at moments of our respective ups and downs in life. I feel that our connections have deepened over time, through these calls. I regret not taking up her invite over the years to visit, always thinking that we’d have time to do so later… Shuhua’s resilience and unwavering kindness to others, even when faced with life’s adversity were inspiring and uplifting.
RIP Shuhua. I regret not making it to SLC in time to say final goodbye to you. You have touched my life with your extraordinary warmth and kindness. Somehow I feel that we will meet again on the other side.
My condolences to Barry, Jia Jia and Fay Fay for your loss. From what I've heard from Shuhua over the years, I know she cared deeply for each of you.

Joan was like an older sister to me. When interacting with her, I always felt her affection, warmth, respect and love. She was always checking on me when we see each other during Saturday hikes. When I hosted her in Marrakech along with the hiking group, she was so happy and so grateful even for simple things. Her positive attitude, tenderness and kindness will be missed forever.

I have been grieving these days since I heard Joan's passing away. I dreamed of her on the night of January 7: she was laying on a bed, she said she felt very cold, a man was standing close by her but did not hear her. I tried to get closer to grasp a blanket for her, but I could not move forward, my legs were petrified! I was so startled that I woke up. The next day, I received the bad news that Joan had left us! Joan and I had known each other since our children were little. We were working mothers who were so busy driving their children to piano lessons, recitals and competitions while taking care of the families. We shared the joy and the difficulty of raising children in America. Joan and I joined a Chinese folk ensemble for many years, she played Chinese bamboo flute and I played dulcimer. Joan invited me to join her hiking group in the midst of the Covid epidemic. With her encouragement, I became more outgoing and positive of myself. The last time I went to see her in the hospital, she still concerned about my well being when she was laying in the hospital bed frail and pale. We gazed at each other, we knew we probably would not see each other again. We said 保重！I turned around and left to hide my tears.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Shuhua. Her vibrant spirit and warmth touched the lives of everyone who knew her. We remember the joyful moments shared as our daughters danced together, creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Our hearts go out to Jiajia and Fayfay during this difficult time. Shuhua will always be cherished and remembered.
With heartfelt condolences,

Heartbroken to hear about Joan’s passing. I had the privilege of working with her for seven years at the Capecchi lab. Joan’s sweet smile, good humor, and dedication to her work always made her a joy to be around. I’ll truly miss her. The world is a little dimmer without her.

Joan was a treasure to have in the Capecchi lab. She was an excellent scientist, always cheerful and helpful to everyone and a lovely person. I was very lucky to be able to work with her for many years. I miss her very much.

对于树华的离去我们深感悲痛，尽管我们心里早有不详的预感。连着几个月没有看到她的微信信息，我们也曾经想试着发一段文字探听她的情况。最终只能默默地在心里祷告，期盼能听到她康复的佳音。树华的真诚，坦荡，大气，温暖是众所周知的。她对生命的热爱，对事业的执着，对新知识的探索让她总是洋溢着充沛的热情和快乐的笑容。和她交谈能人受到鼓舞。我一直想发的信息是：亲爱的朋友，无论你在哪里，你的笑容总和我们相伴，我们总能感受到你热烈的心跳，听到你心灵的歌唱！

Yenhui和我, 我们夫妇俩个1985年在美国犹他州盐湖城，认识了树华。我们曾一起到南犹他的国家公园去旅行。一年后，彦惠和我搬离盐湖城，去了东部纽约。在以后几十年的时间里，虽然我们在美国，辗转换了几次工作和住地，但是，与树华的友谊始终保持。有了微信后，联系更多了。2018，我们高兴地在佛罗里达的家中，接待过老朋友树华的耒访。树华这次生病，从开始诊治，到后耒的治疗休养…，她也曾和我们联系。在刚刚过去的感恩节，我们还收到了她的微信回应。而刚刚过去的这个圣诞节，我们却没有收到她的回应。可以想像，树华的身体已经很虚弱。虽有预感，但还是想不到，树华会突然离开了！老朋友走了，我们非常悲痛！过去的经历，永远成为我们友谊的美好记忆。树华一生努力奋斗、照顾女儿、勤奋工作…。願她在天堂安息！望Jiajia, Fayfay及家人节哀！❤️❤️
