Messages of Condolence
Ray and family,
We profoundly share your grief and distress on the loss of beloved Shan. That she left us at the youthful age of 62 is as hard to believe as it is extraordinarily saddening.
Somehow, we were (mid-)led to believe that she had gotten well from her health problem before.
We pray that peace and tranquillity, and good health, be with you and all yours.
Jim and Betty
Dear sister, Very sorry that you left in such a hurry, I had no hunch, no warning! I wish that we could have had time together, without the scars from earthly matters, the golf that has been separating us.
I hope that you left this world with peace, no pain, and no regret. You are always the little sister in my mind, the only sister that I have.
R.I.P.
Your brother,
Chris
非常懷念。
Shan. We love you so very much. You have done so much for all of us. We will miss you and keep praying and laughing and crying w you. I couldn’t believe time pass so pass. I remember all of us in our 20s and 30s and the kids were young and we have our pot licks. Now they are all grown and having lives of their own. May your spirit rest In pease and your family watched by your perpetual love.
My sincere sympathy to your family. May your memories bring you comfort during this very difficult time. And may God’s promise of the resurrection give you hope of the time when you can be reunited with your loved one. (Acts 24:15)
