今天，我们怀着万分沉痛的心情，送别我最亲爱的母亲 —— 杨茜女士。

母亲于1950年7月7日出生在上海。她的一生，是勤奋与坚毅交织的篇章。

她童年时期就读于长治路小学，后转至茂名路第一小学，1964年进入长乐中学。1968年，在国家最艰苦的岁月里，她响应号召，下放至安徽霍山农村劳动，在极为艰难的环境下锻炼成长。返沪后，她进入上海烟糖公司工作，兢兢业业，踏实肯干。

在1980年代，母亲独自带着年幼的我南下深圳，进入财贸幼儿园学习并考取了幼师专业。那段时间条件艰苦，但她从不抱怨，始终以乐观和坚强面对生活。她是那种无论多难都不退缩的女性，用一双手、一颗心，为我撑起了整片天。

1990年回到上海后，母亲没有选择安逸，而是走上了创业之路。她曾开过书店、经营花店，也曾担任东方名发廊的总经理，深受同事和客户的尊敬。

后来，她与父亲史湧华先生一同创办了“粥天粥地”餐厅，凭借着对品质与服务的坚持，这家店成为许多上海人心中温暖又实在的去处。母亲对事业的远见与判断力令人钦佩，许多朋友都说，她是那种“看得比别人远、做得比别人稳”的人。她认真、勤奋、正直、有远见，是真正值得信赖和敬重的人。

母亲为人正直、厚道，待人真诚宽厚，永远把别人放在前头。她一生不图虚名，但在朋友心中却是永远的大拇指。她不张扬、不计较，只踏实地做好每一件事，把一生都用在了爱与责任上。

晚年移居美国，她终于能放慢脚步，享受与家人团聚的温暖。她笑容更多了，心情也开朗了，我们都以为，人生终于要开始对她温柔了......但命运终究太匆忙。

母亲于2025年7月1日安详离世，享年74岁。她走得宁静，也带着我们满满的爱。

亲爱的妈妈，您一生操劳，您一生坚强。如今，愿您在天堂安息，不再有疲惫，不再有痛苦。我们会永远记住您：那个认真、勤奋、正直、有远见，用爱撑起无数人的杨茜。

我们爱您，永远怀念您。

您的儿子

David Ma

与全家敬上
