Not sure what to say?

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Dear Po Po:

Hello! How are you? Have you eaten? I hope that you had a safe trip, and that you’re enjoying your new place. I hear that there are no allergies where you are. And I hear that there are no headaches, and that the television only has two channels: the Chinese Opera channel and the General Hospital channel. Sounds like a great place. I’m happy that you made it there, because you deserve to relax and enjoy yourself.

We all miss you very much. But we also want...

MOTHER

Your mother is always with you.

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.

She's the cool hand on your brow as you are falling asleep.

Your mother lives inside your laughter and in every tear drop you make.

She's the place you came from, your first home.
She's the map you follow with every step you take.

She's your first love and your first heart break and nothing on earth will separate you.

Not time, Not...

My deepest expressions of sympathy and sadness over the loss of your wife and mother, Minnie, on behalf of all my family, the Nunez clan. My father, Martin Nunez, worked for Lincoln Chan for many years, and we all grew up together in Courtland. I graduated with Wallace in 1958 and personally know how you must be feeling now. God bless you all in your time of sorrow.

I grew up in Courtland and the Chan family became an extention of my own. My deepest sympathy to the entire Chan family.

My deepest condolences to the family. I was Minnie's supervisor at the Department of Motor Vehicles in the 1970's. I remember that Minnie was a dedicated and hard working employee. I've never forgotten her, especially her dedication to her family.
