The day I discovered Jay Kuo and Ma was the day my life changed forever. Thank you, Jay. It's an honor to know you both ~ through your words and heart-warming dialogues with your Ma ~ and your activism. You make the world seem like a better place.

Peace and tranquility to you and your family, Jay. Let our collective love support and soothe you in the coming days.

When you do everything you can to show your love to MA, your wound will heal faster and cleaner. (From someone who has been there, done that.)

Thinking of you. I was with my mom when she died. It is an honor.

Oh, Jay, my new internet friend. My heart is with you on this journey. I and my siblings gathered in April to lay our mother to rest. She was 96 and had given me 15 brothers and sisters. No one is more spectacular than our own moms, but mine was extraordinary. I pray you all find a good peaceful time with your MA. I will tell you, life will never feel the same, so cherish and cling to every moment you still have with her. My best wishes to you and yours. ❤️🙏

I lost my Dad two days before Thanksgiving. He was 91 and in hospice; even though I knew his end was coming and I thought I was prepared, I found out you never truly are. I'm so glad his suffering is over, but I, too, am pondering how to live in a world without him. I hope you and your family can find peace, solace, and laughter through tears during this time. I know your Ma will be happy that she is surrounded by family right now.

I am so very sorry, Jay. Tell Ma you carry love from thousands of us who she does not know but know her through the marvelous son she raised.
