Dear xh,
Xy has told me the very sad news about WANG Xiaofeng. I have such fond memories of working with her since 2008; all the visits to the lab and meeting new students each time. On every visit I made, she was so helpful and kind to me. I am going to miss her.
Perhaps you could say these things to her family as they may take comfort in knowing that Xiaofeng had friends around the world.
I am told that the work in the lab will continue. I am delighted about this and will willingly help to keep the seed work going.
Kind regards
H
