How to find Winnie Leong's grave

 I sometimes drop in to visit my cousin Winnie's grave because it's very close to one of the Costcos I go to.  I figure if it's too hard to get into the left lane to turn up Hickey Blvd., then Winnie's hinting it's time to go straight and visit her.


This is how you find her.   First of all, she's at Cypress Lawn at 1370 El Camino Real, Colma, CA 94014.

Second, here's the map to drive to the right spot.   I have a little camera icon to mark where the other picture was shot.   That one's to give you a visual on direction.


Winnie was the oldest child of Dad's oldest brother, Lim.  One of Dad's favorite stories  in his entire life was the search to find Lim's family after he passed away and he had heard that they were in Oakland when we lived in Fremont.  Dad talking about it will be in a future video upload.   You can see Winnie tell the story from her POV in Dad's Memorial video.

Because of our age difference, Winnie and I did not have much of a relationship.  But our daughter Natasha was just starting to learn Mandarin in preschool and I was really hoping she could practice with cousin Winnie as she got older.   We did all live in San Francisco together, after all.
