黃美琪的似水流年
黃美琪於1946年11月7日出生在湖南長沙，祖籍廣東樂昌是黃昌儒先生與嚴自英女士的長女。父親任軍職官拜中將於1949年隨軍撤離大陸赴台，其母帶著兒女跟著大批軍眷隨後也來台定居於中壢。家裡孩子們共有三個兄弟和五個姐妹，成長過程大家相聚熱閙融融。此後美琪在台北完成了學業，於1967年畢業於淡江文理學院。
美琪母親在兒女們小時候就帶著他們虔誠地參加教會崇拜和活動，並且兒女們都在詩班分部獻詩。因為兄弟姐妹們歌喉好，酷愛歌唱，所以年長的四位姐妹就組成了黃氏姐妹合唱團，不時在台視群星會等節目演唱。爾後美琪幾個姐妹互相牽引陸續申請到美國猶他州楊百翰大學留學，美琪也在1971年赴該校就讀，而黃氏姐妹合唱團仍繼續活躍在大學的校園表演活動中，並且經常跟隨著學校文宣團赴各地巡演。
1972年美琪在校園團契亞洲分會裏認識了也是從台灣來的留學生湯先鉅，往後兩人開始交往相戀，並於1973年9月8日互結連理。同年12月先鉅學成後，申請到加州矽谷的公司工作，倆人就一起遷往該地定居。再次年轉換工作遷到德州休士頓，而美琪也找到當地金融管理公司的數據處理工作。後來1976年，先鉅換工作到亞省鳯凰城上班，接著美琪找到信用卡公司的數據處理工作。從此全家在鳯城一待就是四十多年。
到了1978年美琪懷孕產下長女敬儀Serena，1980年次女敬卿Bethany也誕生了。那幾年裡美琪辭去工作在家相夫教女，全職管理家務。80年代初美琪夫婦也帶著孩子們到鳯城華人播道會參加教會的崇拜，重沐主恩。再到1988年美琪家隨著其他八個家庭轉到現在的西北華人浸信會繼續敬虔服事聖工。美琪的廚藝精良，燒得一手好菜，在教會的聚餐活動時，都會做來大量可口的佳餚分享教友們。並且她藝術天賦不錯，常在教會插花、飾物佈置，團契活動海報繪製上都能盡力的奉獻服務。
在兩女兒上大學後，她就有時間重回職場，但她改做服裝綉飾設計，衣裳彩繪構圖等她喜歡和善長的工作。後來敬儀於1999年從亞省大學畢業，就留在吐桑城工作，而敬卿於2001年從加州大學洛杉磯分校畢業，也留在洛城上班。成了空巢家庭後，她就能在休假期間偕同夫婿一起到大陸、台灣和美國各地名勝旅遊。到了2010年代中期美琪夫妻俩皆相繼退休，兩人都有更多的時間安排旅遊行程了。
可惜好景不長，美琪的幾次旅程經常落得因為心肺功能的衰退，體力不支，再加上瘦小導致骨質疏鬆，一不小心摔倒碰撞，馬上發生骨裂傷的不幸收場。最近兩年，美琪因為心肺功能更形減弱，經常發生因衰竭導致昏迷而被送往急症病房搶救。兩個月前，美琪又因心肺衰竭引發肺血栓和心率高而血壓低，再度昏迷住院，經搶救平安舒醒，醫生們會診後的結論是心肺功能已無法改善治癒，必須放棄一切無謂的治療，而讓美琪回家安寧頤養天年。
4月18日早晨美琪起床，但她不循慣例推著助行器走到客廳休息，卻自行想走到廚房倒杯水喝，但在半路上站不穩跌倒，造成右肩骨裂傷。再進醫院後卻因打點滴造成心率爆增太過危險，後醫生吩咐放棄施打點滴，並簽令讓美琪回家靜養。她出院回家後，一直都昏迷，原因是骨裂傷所造成的壓力太大，致使她的身心無法承受而崩潰昏竭，漸漸有些器官放棄功能運作，跟著是腸胃功能停擺，再餵食湯水只會逆流氣管。最後身體終因6天餐水未進而於4月27日凌晨息勞主懷。
美琪的個性非常會體諒人，經常為人著想，時常烹調許多美食招待家人、朋友及教友。聖誕節時總是親手做些小禮物送給親友，讓大家快樂，又會做許多好吃的小點心分享每一家。美琪集活潑樂觀溫柔熱心及才藝於一身，尤其對音樂特別有天賦，喜歡跟人一起唱和聲，她的離去真是令人懷念婉惜。美琪已經與主同行，我們為此向主感恩。神的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。因著神的恩典，不久便和美琪在天國有相聚的永生。
