We honor our dear Auntie Daisy, who has always been a dear and pivotal member of our Chan Clan. Her beaming smile & wit brought warmth and humor to our happy family occasions, and if there were ever a crisis she was the first to volunteer & offer her support. How lucky we are to have had her in our extended large family. We will never forget, and always be grateful for her generous nature & goodwill to others.

Prayers & Peace, as we count our blessings & feel her smiling down on...
