A Tribute to: My Grandmother
My Grandmother's Recipe for Soy Sauce Chicken
I’ve been collecting notes for a memoir of my childhood growing up in
Malaysia and my coming of age in England.
I got to thinking about all
the people who have been in my life. Some of them, like my family, are
a part of me and others, like friends and my partner, have become an
important part of my life. Others have come and gone or just passed
through. But many have left something behind - curious legacies that,
taken together, make up the fabric of who I am.
In these notes, I write
about some of these curious legacies. Today: My Grandmother’ Recipe for
Soy Sauce Chicken

Susan, I had to do this short tribute to you.......to say AWR is
fantastic, you are fantastic. I watched from afar the growth of your
dream, from concept to reality......what an intrepid woman you are...
A Tribute to: Stacey McInroe Conner
In
the fall of 1987, before there was a North Texas Amputee Support Group,
we received a call from friends in New York about a young girl in
Houston who had lost both arms at the shoulders. She and her family
needed help.

Stacey McInroe Conner, a wonderful volunteer and member of the North
Texas Amputee Support Group, died at 4:35 a.m on Thursday May 24, 1990.
A Tribute to: Lynn Hamam
My friend Lynn is my unsung hero, the one who cares, supports, loves and gives beyond her own needs.
Lynn is the one who is the guiding light for those who are lost. The
one who, when others are falling by the wayside, will carry on. And for
these attributes? Lynn asks nothing in return.
A Tribute to: Jill Lewis
My Mum, Jill Lewis, had breast cancer and a mastectomy to deal with back in the 1970s when she was
in her thirties .
She was ill for a long while and
then, to the outward world, and especially to her children, she appeared to be well
again.
A Tribute to: Nawal Sakkaf
All tributes to my best friend, love, fiancee - Nawal.
Being with her is the perfect thing that has happened to my life...
A Tribute to: Debbie Goodbody
Debbie......
Friends since we were 5 years old, we have walked a long, winding path through life together.
We have played, laughed, fought, cried and somehow worked our way through to today. Your friendship is a great blessing in my life, a constant that I know will remain no matter what.
