好友希拉走了


美國眾議院議員希拉積克森李昨晚十時在其寓所在家人之陪同下走完了她七十四年的精彩人生,也為美國近代史寫下了輝煌之一頁。.

我們認識她是她在市議員任內,她的激昂即席演說造開啓了今後三十多年之政治生涯 ,舉凡國家大事及市井小事總有她的身影,敢說能說的口才變成維護少數族裔的重要聲音。

過去三十年來,我們主辦的所有重要社區活動包括新年園遊會,國際貿易中心嘉華年會晚宴及十年前在市中心舉辦之慶祝二次大戰結束七十週年大會都有她的精彩之演說,就在半年前她又來到美南新聞廣場看見了正在興建中之銀行大樓,她緊握著我的手錶示祝賀和關心,並答應到時參加剪綵,但是如今已經無法實現。

多年來希拉給予社區之無私貢獻,尤其對我們華亞裔社區之關怌永遠銘記在心。

希拉為她的人生寫下了充實精彩的事蹟,我們在此祝福她在天國之路一路走好。

Our Dear Friend Sheila Has Passed Away
U.S. House of Representatives member Sheila Jackson Lee walked through her wonderful life of 74 years accomplished with her family at her side last night. She wrote a glorious page in the modern history of the United States. Her passing marks the end of a remarkable life and an illustrious career in American history.
We first met Sheila during her time as a City Council member. Her powerful impromptu speeches laid the foundation for her 30-year political journey. From national issues to local concerns, her outspokenness became a crucial voice for underrepresented communities.
Over the past three decades, she graced all of our major community events with her inspiring speeches. These included our Annual Lunar New Year Festival, our ITC Gala and the 70th Anniversary of the End of World War II in downtown at Minute Maid Park ten years ago. Her voice resonated with strength and conviction.
Just six months ago she visited our newly constructed bank building at Southern News Group congratulating us on the project and promising to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Sadly, that promise will remain unfulfilled.
Shelia‘s dedication to our community, particularly the Asian American community, will be forever remembered.
