In Loving Memory of Mr. Lau: Mr. Lau was a loving husband and father from Guam. He was in a car accident in 1989, which left him paralyzed from the neck down. Mr. Lau had the finest acute therapy in Hawaii. He and his family moved to California to obtain advanced physical therapy. Unfortunately, RVL S.C.O.R.E. was not in existence yet to offer him assistance. Once Mr. Lau arrived in California there was no availability in a well known rehab hospital, so he went to a convalescent hospital. Five months later Mr. Lau’s last words to CyCy Lambert was, "Don’t let this happen to anymore of our people!" Mr. Lau passed away the next evening knowing that his words helped to inspire CyCy Lambert to found RVL S.C.O.R.E.

Joyce has had patience while waiting for her workmen’s comp. approval, which will allow her to come to California for advanced physical therapy, because there isn’t any advanced therapy available in the islands. It has been almost two years since she started this quest. Joyce say’s "I can’t give up, and not continue to pursue this, they could do this to all others after me!
