With the family’s permission, we share this heartfelt message written by the children of one of our residents. This letter sincerely reflects the meaning of life and care at Amenida Seniors Community.
Last week, we gathered to celebrate the life of Mrs. Ro Gab Hee, who lived at Amenida for 12 years and passed at the remarkable age of 102. Following her 천국환송예배 (Celebration of Life service), her family shared this letter with us—expressing their gratitude to the Amenida team who walked alongside their mother through every moment of her life.
*“To the Amenida angels, who are filled with kindness and love:
To the angels who protected my mother’s life with love, When my mother felt lonely, you came to her and became her light. When she was afraid, you sang hymns to comfort her. When she became withdrawn, you shook a baby rattle and made her smile. When her appearance became frail, you told her she was beautiful and gently brushed her hair. When she could not sleep, you softly patted her chest and sang lullabies. When she was in pain, you placed your hands on her forehead and prayed for her. When she could not swallow food, you patiently coaxed her and fed her. When she could no longer care for herself, you washed her and dressed her. When she could no longer tell front from back, you became her hands and her feet. When she became exhausted, you felt sorrow for her and shed tears quietly in your hearts. When her soul departed, you looked toward heaven and waved goodby. You promise to meet her free and liberated soul again in heaven, among the angels of love. We will hold Amenida’s love and gratitude in our hearts forever."*
— From the children of Ro Gab Hee
This is what life at Amenida looks like—a community where every resident is treated as family, and where staff are committed to care with confidence, compassion, and pride.
