Sister Pui Wa was a partner of Andy Lau Tak Wa professionally. The still

medical mask to send his late friend on her final journey.
Did Sammo Hung Kam Bo see Wa Jai? He said, "Yes, he wore a mask
and passed by me. (Was he with his wife?) There was a woman, but I
don't know if she was his wife or girlfriend!" He also said that Wa Jai
was probably in decent health, but joked that his was probably better
than Wa Jai's.
The hall was mainly decorated wth white lilies. Sister Pui Wa
was rather well liked in the industry. Yesterday many attended the

Kiu Wai, Deanie Ip Tak Han, Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui, Sammo Hung Kam Bo,
Ng See Yuen, Benny Chan Muk Sing, Nancy Wu Ting Yan, Patrick Tang Kin
Won and others. Many artists sent flowers, Wa Jai and his wife's was
the most eye catching as it was the only industry floral arrangement in
the hall.
The memorial program had many photos of Sister Pui Wa with
artists and many eulogies, including Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung Kam Bo, Ann
Hui On Wa, Raymond Lam Fung, Roger Kwok Chun On, Linda Chung Ka Yun, Wu
Ting Yan, Max Zhang Jin and Ada Choi Siu Fun. Wa Jai wrote, "Your smile
melts away all the sorrow; your foresight and wisdom melt away all the
pain; your faith gives us wisdom to continue your work. We would love
you to the end, always and forever......"
The funeral committee representative Lok Yi Ling and Wong Cho
Lam yesterday spoke to the media. Cho Lam said, "Thank you to the media
for your concern, everyone knows Sister Pui Wa is a very faithful
Christian. Her will is to conduct a ceremony at the church. Tonight at
7PM the ceremony will begin. Sister Pui Wa's coffin will enter the
Church. I hope everyone would make a little room for Sister Pui Wa's
coffin to slowly enter."
