“The loss is immeasurable,
— unknown
but so is the love left behind.”
I got to know Professor Shiao through the social media group she created a couple of months ago, and was hoping to meet her in-person when the pandemic is over, without realizing she was fighting for her life since November...
Knowing her life has touched so many others, I am quoting the lyrics of "Candle in the Wind 1997" to express my deepest condolence:
"And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will"
RIP, Professor Shiao
