Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we gather here today to bid farewell to a remarkable soul, Lawrence Tung. Though our hearts are filled with sorrow, let us also remember that his life was a source of inspiration and humility that touched the lives of many.

Lawrence lived a life that exemplified the true essence of humility and grace. He never sought recognition or accolades, but touched the lives of those around him in the most profound ways. As we reflect on his journey, let us find solace in the beautiful words of the Beatles: "There are places I'll remember, all my life, though some have changed. Some forever, not for better, some have gone, and some remain."

Born with an adventurous spirit, Lawrence's love for exploring took him on countless camping trips in the vibrant landscape of Hong Kong. The whispering trees and majestic mountains became his sanctuary, reminding us that he cherished moments of simplicity and connectedness to nature.

But his zest for adventure extended far beyond the borders of Hong Kong. He embraced the thrill of skiing, venturing to the snowy peaks of the United States. With every glide down those mountains, Lawrence found liberation and embraced the challenges that life presented, reminding us to fearlessly chase our dreams without hesitation.

Through his years spent here, he created a foundation of love, compassion, and kindness. He touched the lives of those in his community, leaving an indelible mark that will forever be felt.

In times like these, we often find solace in prayer. And so, let us take a moment to recite the serenity prayer together:

Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference."

These words encapsulate the essence of Lawrence's journey. He carried with him the understanding that life was filled with both challenges and blessings. With unwavering courage, he embraced each obstacle and rose above it, always emerging stronger.

As we bid farewell to Lawrence today, let us be inspired by his humble spirit, his thirst for adventure, and his dedication to his loved ones. May his memory remind us that within the tapestry of life, it is our connections, our experiences, and the love we share that truly matter.

Let us now honor Lawrence's legacy by singing the resonant melodies of "In My Life" by the Beatles, as we celebrate the life of this exceptional individual who touched our hearts and souls.

Rest in peace, dear Lawrence. Your light will forever guide us.
