I was saddened to read of Shenshen's passing in the URI Quadrangles Summer issue. Shenshen was my sorority sister in Alpha Chi Omega, and she graduated two years before me. She always had a smile on her face and was loved by all. I was particularly touched by the announcement of her passing because I moved into her single room at the sorority house when she graduated. At that time, there were only 2 single rooms in the house so I was grateful to "inherit" hers. God Bless Shenshen and her family ~ She will be remembered by all who knew her.

For the family of Shenzhen Wu I have had the great pleasure to know Shenzhen for many years as a customer of CVS. She was a remarkable woman. Being an avid golfer, I was enthralled with her many stories of her years with titleist. When she first found out I was a pretty good golfer, she wanted to know what golf ball I played.I told her titleist pro v 1. She then asked me my swing speed. I said about 90. She responded "you swing too slow!" And the next time I saw her, she brought me in a dozen titleist next tour balls and a prov v 1 with her name on it as Project Manager ---- which I still have and cherish.I heard many stories about her family and grandchildren. She was very proud of you all! With sincere sympathy, Gary Olson

Dear Carl, Michael, Margaret and families: Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss of Shenshen. I have only fond memories of her friendship and various activities with her when she was with Acushnet Company. For all of her successes and love of her R&D work, none compared to her great love, pride and joy in all of you. Thinking of you at this time. With kind regards, Janice Spark

Dear Carl and family, Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved wife, mother and grandmother. My late wife Ilene and I were privileged to have her as our neighbor and dear friend whose kindness and thoughtfulness was unsurpassed. She will be missed greatly by all who knew her. May her memory be internal.

Story shared: How Auntie Shenshen changed my life.

I am saddened that I cannot be there to say my goodbyes or to give Uncle Carl, Margaret and Michael and their children, hugs in person.

I am however very grateful to be able to have this short opportunity to share about how Auntie Shenshen impacted my life.
I consider myself very fortunate to have been influenced by so many strong women in my family. Auntie Shenshen was one of those women.

It was the end of 7th grade, Auntie Shenshen and Uncle Carl had come over for a dinner party.
Per the usual affair the post dinner musical entertainment was to commence and all the guests had begun to walk single file down stairs to the Shey Piano Studio in anticipation to hear a soon to be high school senior Bruce serenade everyone on the piano followed up by the little virtuoso Stephen on the violin.

I stayed up stairs in the kitchen. For a brief moment the muffled sounds of music were clear and pronounced and then quickly dulled as I heard the studio door open and close followed by foot steps walking up to the kitchen.

Auntie Shenshen had come up and was looking specifically to talk to me.
She had noticed I wasn't down stairs and as we began to talk she quickly commented, 'you must have a hard time keeping up with your brothers. May I give you some advice?'

'sure'

'Do not. Do not try to compete with them.'

I was so surprised by this, partially because I wasn't expecting her honesty but also because I had said nothing of my teen angst and she hit it on the head. While we talked about many other things, it was the last thing she said to me that has stayed with me to this day.

"Seek out what you love and what you are passionate in. Then do it. Do it for yourself and do not let people try to tell you that you can not do it"

Her words of wisdom have been a mantra for me in almost everything I've set out to in life. I am humbled and grounded because of it but also comforted in knowing that she helped give me the nudge I needed to set me on my path.

I remember how kind and gracious she was when visiting Margaret at their house as teenagers! When I taught aerobics at Titlelist years later she was so friendly , going out of her way to say hello to me.
