Oh Dharma Thanks for sharing this. Tsu Chen was my friend in Chicago. I got to know her at ITI In Mumbai. I can still hear her record playing and Tsu Chen pushing her glasses up her nose. Wanda and I went to see her off when she left the Order I wish she had not left I last saw her in Pune when she came for a Sahara yoga event. Did not have time to connect deeply. The wonder of the people we met and worked with Mary Sent from my iPhone

Dear Mary, Here's a note from my friend Deborah Wall who lives in Newtown, Sydney who knew Peggy well when she lived in Sydney. It wasn't until I read her English name Peggy that I connected her to her birth name. We are all fine here.
From Deborah:
*Yes, the same person you met.She was in remission for breast cancer but she got it again, fatal this time. * *She was very much involved with ‘Her Holiness Shri Mataji’ Burwood Centre community * *in the latter stage of her life.* *Yes, the same person you met.* John and I have just returned from a drive in the recently acquired Campervan after 14 nights away and travelling 3,500 kms. to Adelaide, Bordertown - (Praesidium circa 1970 and where we lived until 1972), onto Melbourne and then home via the NSW Saphire Coast. Left home Monday 23rd Sept to Adelaide via the Hay Plains. Stayed two nights and picked up the 17 boxes of Frank Bremner's Archival Files. Had various lunch, dinner, am tea with friends and went to the Art Gallery. Shared meals and conversations with Barry and Margaret Oakley, Rhonda Robins, John Boully, David and Sue White- all living in Adelaide. In Melbourne visited Katrin Ogilvy - still recovering from a fall onto her new knee replacement and Ian's death (Ogilvy - her ex ), stayed the night with Lis Banks and enjoyed a good visit with Garnet who is in full time care at the Adventist long term facility. Lis is brave, determined and challenged by her imovemnt challenges but still full of possibility. We had a great time as usual in her presence. Then to the east via Warragul and out to Ellinbank - JT's country and their organic farm. Stayed with friends in Yarragon then along the southern coast to Sale for the night. Then exploration of the south coast through Vic and NSW towns of Ballacoota, Narooma, Bermagui and Ulladulla and Bowral to our home at Hazelbrook in the Blue Mountains.. Apart from the opportunity to reconnect with our dear life time friends, the impetus for this trip was to collect the sorted files (by Jonathan Barker) from Frank Bremner's immaculate collection. The van worked well and we were very snug - with the 17 archive boxes in the passage way!! Returned home just before the heavy rains and storms began along the south coast!! Blessings to you and friends, Elaine and John On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 12:34 PM, Mary Kurian D'Souza via OE < oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Dear Dharma, Thank you for informing us of the completed life of Tsu Chen, one of the first two pioneering Asian interns (you were the other) to become part of the KL Religious House in 1969, and what gifts you were to our community, indeed. The photos capture what I recall as her serenity and happiness, qualities she appears to have sustained through her mature years. Sometime in the mid-1970s when Joe and I were in the NYRH, Tsu Chen sopped by to say hello – quite a lovely, sophisticated lady. We lost touch after that and only knew she had at some point moved to Australia. I hope sometime we might learn of her journey and the important work she undertook after being with the ICA. She was always such an industrious and committed person – a model intern. Trust all is well with you. Grace, peace and love, Marilyn (and Joe) From: OE [mailto:oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of Dharmalingam Vinasithamby via OE Sent: Monday, November 13, 2017 6:04 PM To: Order Ecumenical Community; Colleague Dialogue Cc: Dharmalingam Vinasithamby Subject: [Oe List ...] Death of Peggy Heng Dear colleagues, Peggy Heng (Heng Tsu Chen) died yesterday in Sydney, Australia.

Thankyou Dharma and all who have reminded us of the ITI 69 Singapore where I first met Peggy passed to the light. Grace and love with peaceful hearts for this beautiful spirit we encountered on our journey Isobel Sent from my iPhone
