    Obituary
    • The late Thelma B. Maw, the second donor who left her fortune to Angels' Haven, was born in February 19, 1916 and graduated from University of California at Berkeley. She came to Korea in 1949 and worked as a physical therapist at Severance Hospital, Seoul. She attended Eunpyung Methodist Church and helped foundation and operation of Angels' Haven. She retired in 1982 and returned back to Corona, California. As Executive Director Cho visited her in 1994, she gave him a lot of pictures and slidefilms of Angels' Haven. They are our valuable assets in the aspect of historical records. As she passed away in November 15, 2005, Thelma Maw bequeathed some of her property to Angels' Haven.

  • Notes 
    • 'Day by Day' - Virgil Maw

      All it takes to start a mountain
      Is a tiny grain of sand.
      What becomes a mighty river
      Can be cupped in one small hand.

      There would be no bridge or building,
      Not one mighty work of man
      Without that one beginning,
      Some first mark upon a plan.

      All the steps that lead to Heaven,
      Straight or tortured on the way
      Are but footfalls and another
      Taken day, by day, by day.

      In her life of Christian Service,
      Who can number those today
      Who live and love a better life
      Because caring was her way.

      Who can know what mighty torrents,
      Ever growing there might be?
      What a river must be flowing
      To that great Eternity?

      Started by those acts of kindness,
      Building strength along the way
      From her quiet selfless service
      Given day, by day, by day.
