It is with a heavy heart to post that my youngest daughter passed away on 8 January. Serena was featured in several threads though out the years. She was twin B born on [Christmas Eve 2004 in Shanghai](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chistmas-eve-twins-for-china-guy/281542). Some may remember her nicknamed “apgar” because she was born with an Apgar rating of 2, resuscitated for 45 minutes, and then straight into the NICU for a month. She was the younger of the “Chinetes” as someone here improvised. An [update here from 7 years ago](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/update-on-china-guys-twins/775760). Serena was always a happy bunny and a joy to people around her. She will be missed. To the old timers of SDMB, I just wanted to give a last update since this board has helped me through more than one trying time. I can’t write any more right now and may never add to this thread. ---

That’s understandable, China Guy. I know you loved her, and your other children too, enormously. Do you have a link to an obituary? (((((HUGS))))) ---
