Mei Kwan has died.

May 19, 2022

We just received the shocking news that Mei Kwan, wife of the Rev. Dr. Franco Kwan (former convener of our EAM Chinese Convocation) passed away in their home in New York.

I spoke with Franco earlier. The funeral (cremation) service for Mei will be in New York at a still undecided date.

Mei and Franco were here in New York a week ago. While on vacation, they visited the Episcopal church Center and we had lunch together.

Franco returned to San Francisco for church as Mei wanted to stay a little longer in their New York home. A few days later, she suffered a heart attack.

Franco said the cremains will be brought back to San Francisco for a memorial service at True Sunshine Church, most likely sometime in early June.

I will keep you informed of the dates.

Meantime, our thoughts and prayers are with Franco and their children: Grace, Calvin and William.

"The soul of the righteous is in the hand of God."

Rest in peace, Sister Mei.
