The mass will be given by Father Emil Lim.
Directions
Universal Funeral Parlour is within walking distance of the Hung Hom railway station (formerly KCR, now MTR), near the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
The map on the left shows the location in red. Click on the picture for a larger image on a separate page.
To reach Hung Hom from Discovery Bay the quickest route is to take the DB03R bus to Sunny Bay station, the MTR to Lai King, cross over to the red line to Central and alight at Tsim Sha Tsui. From there walk through to the Tsim Sha Tsui East station (the signs are clear and it is all underground) and take the first train to Hung Hom.
The MTR map is available online for those unfamiliar with the train system.
If you can make it, please do. This will be our chance to pay final respects to Vicky before her body is flown back to the Philippines.
If you’re reading this somewhere other than Hong Kong, please spend a moment on Sunday in prayer or reflection.
On behalf of the residents of the community in which this woman lived, worker and employer alike, there can be no final benediction until the circumstances of her death death are understood.
While it might seem absurd to worry about the death of one person when 100,000 die in Myanmar, and 20,000 in China, in a single week, the human community can understand natural disasters, but cannot quietly tolerate with conscience a single unexplained death, particularly if that death seems to have come from its own hands.
I implore interested readers to not let the issue quietly die. Something is askew. May God attend whatever services are to be conducted this weekend, but may outrage and offense continue to demand an explanation.
