In memory of Cece Hu

Our beloved child

January 3, 2025 - March 14, 2025

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

This was written when the people of God thought all hope was lost, and God reminded them that despite the terrible circumstances, He is still Good.

Cece’s Story

Cece was our sweetest, cuddliest, squishiest baby — so beautiful, chunky, and precocious. We want to share her story and celebrate her life.

Before this all happened…

Yih-Chun and I plan to write a series of posts to celebrate Baby Cecelia's life and how our good God is still with us in the midst of pain.

Reflections from the kids

[By Yihchun]

We offered our older children a chance to write their memories of Cece on this website, and they both wanted to share some words.

One snowy night, the birth of Ce…

[By Evelyn]

It took us a few years to want another child. As people imagine, raising kids is not an easy feat. And after having two spirited daughters, YihChun and I debated for many years whether we could handle more.

Grief is a funny thing

[By Evelyn]

出事後才發現我身邊有多少人也是失去過孩子. 我很感謝她們作為過來人在共同的痛苦中分享了經驗. 有位朋友形容哀悼很奇怪, 有時候真的感覺好像沒事了, 一切都過了, 甚至笑得很開心, 但下一陣就可以被悲哀(甚至憤怒)充滿.

After the accident I was reminded of how many of my friends have had losses as well. I am so thankful for these women coming together to share their wisdom in our shared grief.

Eulogy

[By Yih-Chun, translation/中文翻譯 by Evelyn]

This letter to Cece was our eulogy at her Celebration of Life service.

這封信是我們為 Cece 寫的. 作為她安息禮拜的追悼文.

What Ce’s sisters wanted to tell her (while she was still in my belly)

[By Evelyn]

Humor heals, and kids say the funniest things. I wanted to include some of the lighter memories of Ce with her sisters. When I was almost due, I asked for the girls to write down what they wanted to say to Ce.

Thank you for all who attended the service. We are thankful for all your support.
