Before saying anything I want to emphasize that being here
today despite this great loss we are all lucky to have had Lili in our lives
even if it was only for a little while. She will be greatly missed but the love
and kindness that she has shown through her life greatly triumphs over the pain
of losing her.
I trained Lili when she first started to work in the office and she instantly excelled and surpass me in her abilities. Also, she was always very considerate of my school load and if she knew that I had an exam or project coming up she made sure to finish as much work as possible so that I can study. She was also a very smart, dedicated, humble student herself. It always amazed me how she was able to keep up her high grades, work, volunteer, and do research while also making time to spend with the people she cared about.
When I go into work I would always focus on finishing what I had to do and leaving as fast as I could. However, Lili was not like that. Yes she was busy but she was calm. There were many times she would come in on her day off to talk or study in the office so that I had company while I was working. Going to work now and seeing all of the forms that she signed off on it saddens me to think that it will come to a point that I will stop seeing her handwriting on the forms that she has signed off on. Talking to Elaine, Lili’ s sister, makes me feel that Lili is still her in this world. She may be gone physically but being surrounded by all the lives that she has influenced and was influenced by makes me feel that she is here with us and will never be forgotten. Lili and I had always planned to one day have lunch with her sister so that we can all be friends.
Although she will not be there when we do finally meet she will be happy to see that we are finishing something that she always planned but did not have time to do. Looking down on us I know that she will be happy that friendships are forming and lessons are being learned from her even after her time has passed and I hope that everyone here keeps this in mind.
The last thing that she would want is to see the people she cared about being sad. I am confident that she would want all of us to see the best in the worst situations such as this. Although it is unfortunate to say, with an incident such as this people are awakened and reminded to feel through their hearts and love with from their soul. We will start feeling the need to care and love the people that are still here with us more passionately. We will stop trying to rush through life and enjoy the moments that we have now. While I had lacked this mentality in the past, Lili always seemed to have mastered it. Her feelings were true, her attentiveness and care was genuine, and her heart was pure.
In the fast-paced and chaotic world we live in it becomes rare to find something simple to hold on to and stop the world from moving so fast. Lili’s capability, ambition, and personality were far from simple. However, her kind, humble, innocent nature was what is simple and because of this she will never be forgotten and will always be loved.

Please also allow me to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to come to my sister's memorial service and/or write something in honor of Liliane. Your kind gestures have meant so much to my family and I hope you all know that if there's ever anything I might be able to assist with, you need only ask and I will always try to do my best to help.
One more time, thank you and wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.
