To Ng's family,

It is very sad to hear about Helen's passing. We had worked together for many years until her retirement and continued on-and-off talked on the phone and communicated by mails and Christmas cards. Helen was a world traveler and dedicated worker. I enjoyed very much in listened to her stories of her past working experiencs and seeing the world.

Please accept my deepest condolences.

To Bill and the Ng's family,

Charlene and I are saddened to learn about Helen's passing. I met Helen years ago whenever I visited your parent's house in San Francisco. From then on Helen and I exchanged Christmas card every years. It was nice to hear from her. She told me all about her travling adventure and how she enjoyed her retirement the things she truly enjoyed. What a great lady she was and she will be missed. We express our condolences to her loving family.
