"Grand Master of a Generation" Lau Kar Leung's funeral will take place on July 23 at the Universal Funeral Parlor. His widow Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) yesterday posted a comic book drawing of Master Lau on facebook and revealed that it was the work of Master's friend Ah Ching for the memorial program. She said that Ah Ching is a famous Macau illustrator and once drew the cover of her book. Because Ah Ching was familiar with Master Lau's humorous personality, he believed that he would not say "farewell forever" to everyone and thus wrote "Everyone please!" as his farewell.

Yung Jing Jing also shared Master Lau's soul returning home to drink cola. Before for awhile before Master's passing he enjoyed cola, at his home altar cola was present everyday. Earlier the maid realized that the cola straw seemed to have been used, even the glass had soda stain. After the maid cleaned it, the next morning the glass again had soda stain. She realized whose "handiwork" it was and said that she could drink however he wanted from then on. Yesterday Yung Jing Jing also brought her daughters to give away rice in the Kwai Fong district as charity for Master Lau.
