Not sure what to say?

Francis and family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. You will be in my prayers.

Dear Shen family- Mrs. Shen, Pauline, Francie and William,
I have such good memories of Mr. Shen from our days in Ravinamy, and playing at your house as a child. My parents thought the world of him, too. Thinking of you all during this time.

Florence and Pauline: Big Brother Will Chen notified us the sad news about John's passing away. John sets up a good example for many to be a constructive, optimistic,diligent and problem solving Civil Engineer. He doesn't go away. John is still in our hearts. Luh and Karen Chang

Florence and Pauline: we were sad to learn from our son Arnold's email message whose family has just moved to WL from Bay Area since last July. We will sure miss John for his kindness and smile especially when he returned from his fishing trip in Canada and delivered walleyed pike fish to us with a big smile. When we visited your house, John loved to BBQ ribs. He mixed his own spices and made the very delicious ribs.

Uncle John will be greatly missed. He was a very dear friend to our family. One of the last things our Mom told us ... "if our family ever needs any help, go to Uncle John ..." I remember fondly how Uncle John would stop by after his fishing expeditions to share his catch with Dad and Mom. And always with that wonderful smile.

Uncle John Shen knew my dad loved eating fish, and I remember how he would specially bring over some of his catch after fishing trips. He was a wonderful friend to our family, and we will miss him.

When I think about Uncle John Shen, I remember his smiling face. I remember how he would share his freshly caught fish with our family. He was so happy standing at our front doorstep holding the fish -- it was true joy. We will miss him dearly.

Mrs Shen, Pauline, Oliver and Family. We are very sorry to read of your loss. You have our heartfelt sympathy.

Frances, Pauline, and family - thinking of you and sending my condolences for your loss.
