Dear Chu Family,
Your mom was one of the kindest people I have ever met - genuine, funny, warm and smart. I feel blessed to have known her and your dear dad while I was in college. We all learned so much from both of them. Our thoughts and love are with you all.

Dear Lee,
I only just learned that Bettie too has passed away. Your father and mother were my inspiration and it is with great sadness that I send this note of condolences to you and your family. The great joy and life lessons that your parents gave to me and my family will be cherished forever. With great sympathy, Frances

My deepest condolences to the entire Chu family. Your mother, Bettie, was an extraordinary woman whose warmth, compassion and generosity touched so many of us that attended Conn College. She gladly took us under her wing and provided encouragement especially during our afternoon teas. I will always remember her beautiful smile and positive attitude. With sympathy,

Lee, Ellen, Kevin and Paula,
I am so deeply sorry to hear of your mom's passing such a short time after your dad. I am stunned. And truly saddened. No words can lessen the pain you must all be experiencing. But please know that so many of us loved your mom -- she, like your dad, was an integral part of our CC experience. It has been hard to imagine the two of them apart; now they are together once again. I love them and miss them dearly.

Dear Lee,
I just became aware today of your mothers passing. There are no words adequate to express my sorrow for you and your family. The Scriptures tell us that when we cannot bring ourselves to express these things, the Spirit groans on our behalf. Would that He be groaning for you and yours.

I just arrived home from a trip to Ireland and caught word of Bettie's passing. I was so saddened as Bettie has been my neighbor in Shaw's Landing for the past six months. She was wonderful to me and helped me to integrate into the neighborhood by co-hosting 3rd floor parties. She could always be seen walking down Bank St to visit the downtown shops and Muddy Waters. She will definitely be missed! My thoughts go out to the rest of her family for such a loss.
