Dear Mrs. Charlotte and the entire extended Chang family: Please accept our sincere condolences on your recent loss of Admiral Ming E. Chang, a wonderful man with many military and professional accomplishments.
Your friends in Boston send our respects and we were blessed to have his frindship and collegiality as a Board of Directors at our YMCA in Chinatown.
He had a great smile, a sense of humor, and a sensitivity for the common people and to the social and political advancement of Asian Americans. A man of many talents,vision, and humanity who shared these gifts with many.
Hope the many good memories of you will be in the hearts and minds of your loved ones forever.
Ming, may you rest in peace, and God bless you.

Saddened to hear of your loss Donalda. An eskimo proverb to consider..."perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are happy." You are not alone. Remember the stories...you certainly must have soooo many to savor.

Sailors pray,
For fair winds and a following sea

The smell of salt in the air,
The feel of their skin as it's touched by the spray

An albatross soaring above,
Dolphins in the ship's wake at play

To witness a work of art that only God can create,
The sunset at the end of day

At night a million stars in the sky,
Safe anchorage in an islands lee

When the time comes to die as for all it must,
To awake in Sailors Heaven where nothing ever rusts

And always there would be,
Fair winds and a following sea
