Keep missing mother in your thoughts, worried husband pleads
.... Chen ended his remarks by sharing the vows he read to Leung at their wedding two years ago.
"Today, I marry my best friend. The one I laugh with, dream with, live for and love," he said, at times struggling to maintain his composure.
"On this day, I take you as my companion forever, through all of time and space." ....

“the past two weeks have been the hardest times of my life and I miss Florence terribly.”
Those words from the husband of missing Florence Leung.

The founders of the Van City Moms Squad, including Kimi Nomura Schwab, were part of the crowd of supporters.
“We don’t know Florence but the story obviously touched us close to heart. We have a social network and we actually held a postpartum awareness event a couple months ago. We just can’t help but feel if we were only able to reach Florence and have her attend and listen to the moms share their honest and brave stories, maybe there is something that could have been done,” Nomura Schwad says.
Updated. Foul play is not suspected. For those not familiar with the area, if she was found at Bowen Island, it is likely that she jumped at Prospect Point where her vehicle was found. That's speculation, but a reasonable conclusion.

[h=1]Husband of Florence Leung releases emotional statement about PPD, pressure to breastfeed[/h]
On Tuesday, her husband, Kim Chen, posted an emotional message on the Facebook page dedicated to his wife’s memory.
“You are Not alone. You are Not a bad mother. Do not EVER feel bad or guilty about not being able to “exclusively breastfeed”, even though you may feel the pressure to do so based on posters in maternity wards, brochures in prenatal classes, and teachings at breastfeeding classes. Apparently the hospitals are designated “baby-friendly” only if they promote exclusive-breastfeeding. I still remember reading a handout upon Flo’s discharge from hospital with the line “Breast Milk Should Be the Exclusive Food For the Baby for the First Six Months” , I also remember posters on the maternity unit “Breast is Best”. While agreeing to the benefits of breast milk, there NEED [sic] to be an understanding that it is OK to supplement with formula, and that formula is a completely viable option. I will talk more about this in the future.”
