I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Xibin at Connexn and BEA. My memories of him always start with his smile and easy-going nature; he was quick to help out and eager to work on complex projects. But what really sticks with me was how excited Xibin was when he and Christine had their boys. When she brought the twins in for the first time to meet everyone and he held them, I knew he was going to be a terrific father. I also remember when he brought them in for a parent/child day at BEA, he was so very proud of both of them. It breaks my heart to think that he won't be there to see them finish growing up and pursue their life's happiness, but I know he will always be in their hearts and memories. I am glad they will know what an amazing man he was from Christine and from our shared memories of him. My thoughts are with Christine in this time of loss and I hope all of our love and thoughts eases the grief just a small amount. With love and sorrow, Mandy
