In Hanoi, we had a lot of work with many successful meetings at the training center and in the living rooms of our business partners. Hanoi proved to be a gray city on the Red River. The "Year of the Dragon" didn't arrive only from Sunday to Monday with lots of fireworks, but also with lots of rain and storm. We were at the home of Anja, a Downline, when we received the news of the sudden and unexpected death of our friend Double Diamond SakTanaprakob. Heart attack in the Chinese New Year's night. We immediately broke off our stay in Hanoi and rushed to Bangkok to attend the funeral ceremonies. Just hours before his death, I received an email from Mr. Sak with the following text: "Dear Eva, we are waiting for your coming. The sad news: before Chinese New Year, Mrs. Manvika Khunklai (Crown Ambassador and Founders Coucil member) passed away last night. The cause came from rapid cancer. Your schedule is as follow :....
And he told us in detail what he expected us to do. Within days, Amway Thailand lost two of its top leaders! We not only lost a loyal friend and companion in Khun Sak - and this far too early. The Thai business would probably not exist without him. He was a role model, always motivated and motivating, always helpful, indefatigable and never willing to give up someone. In February, we will therefore go to England to take care of the local organization of Sak and Boonsiri. In April we will be back in Vietnam. Sak and Boonsiris group is well growing there. Our son Peter and Manuela were with us in Bangkok, but we only had a short time for a Klong tour with little Samuel. We were happy to participate in the ceremonies every day with all business partners. It was to show respect, esteem and gratitude to a great man. We also hold the seminar prepared by him according to his plan. A few hours before his death he sent us an email about his plans and projects. We know, his next targets had been to become a Founders Council Member and to qualify Diamond in Europe. We will do everything possible to help his goals come true and support Boonsiri in any way we can.
