Dear Kevin and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know what a rock she has always been to your family, a truly incredible woman. One of the wonderful things is that she has passed these qualities along to all of you.
I have to say what a pleasure it was to work with you, your family and be welcomed in by all of your family. You all hold a very special place in my heart. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

With Love, Pinky Han

Kevin,

I didn't know your mom personally, but frankly knowing you told me all I needed to know. What a truly GREAT woman!

As we discussed on Tuesday, I firmly believe your mom was 'talking' to the 3 of you through the DR hospice nurse. Those were indeed special moments which are what life is all about.

We are here for you, your sisters, Sylvia and the kids.
