It was a pleasure to have met Christina just two months ago when she visited Portland for the Flying Tigers Conference at Portland State University and reunion events that she was so involved. I enjoyed her enthusiasm and knowledge about Chinese American history. My condolences to Sheldon and all the Lim family on your great loss.

Dear Aunty Dookie, Uncle Harry and Sheldon, I am so sorry and sad to hear about Tina. I will always remember her as the spunky little girl we would play with when we visited your family as children and the wonderful, full of life woman we enjoyed and laughed with as we grew older. Tina always had so many stories to tell and we will miss her so much, but her spirit will live forever in our hearts. She has gone too soon.
With love and sadness,
Darwin

I met Christina during the planning for a documentary about Asian American police officers. It was clear to me Christina had a grand plan and her dedication to this project was most evident. I was happy to have known her and I appreciated her work ethic and professionalism!
