Dear Tim,

I am Jia Sirui and feel bad on hearing of Mrs. Shriver’s death. At first I thought it couldn’t be true.

I think your mother is a great woman who made Special Olympics such a wonderful movement, which, to us ---SO athletes, is our life.

I remember in 2004 when I first saw her, she seemed to me a great lady full of love. I know she had helped us ---the intellectually disabled ---to rehabilitate and become enjoying happy life as other normal people. She gave us opportunities to take part in a variety of competitions and activities, through which I have made friends with many. She was so great.

I believe she is happy and content in the heaven, looking on us from high above.

Yours Sincerely

Jia Siru

親愛的，施萊佛您好！

我是 JIA SI RUI，我聽到這個消息我心裡很難受。我以為不是真的。

我覺得您的母親是很偉大的人，把特奧會弄的那麼好。對我們這些運動員來說特奧運動就是我們的生命。

記得在04年的時候我看我們的創始人的時候我覺得她是一個很有愛的的老人家。也是一個很偉大的人。她幫助了我們這些智障的人康復起來讓我們像正常人一樣快樂的生活。還有是她讓我們參加很多活動，很多比賽。還可以認識很多朋友。我覺得她太厲害了。所以我希望您不太傷心了。我相信她在天堂現在很幸福。她會在上面看這我們的。
