"Willyum" gave us so many happy memories, most of them are documented in my photo albums. I particularly love the special nickname he gave me "Batty Bear". May God bless.

DEAR AUNTIE LILLY, COUSINS MARSHALL, DWAYNE, AND ALLISON,
ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES WHEN I WAS A KID WAS WHEN UNCLE WILLIAM TOOK ME AND MY FAMILY TO THE GRAND CANYON (AND I THREW PAPER AIRPLANES DOWN INTO IT).
MAY OUR LORD BLESS AND COMFORT YOU ALL.
LOVE FROM DAVID, MIMI, AND TIFFANY LUM

All my life my Mom & Aunt (Michaelene and Pearlene Bevolo) have talked about going to Mr.& Mrs. Ong's store as kids. They thought it was great to get a free hot dog. They remember playing with all of the Ong children. Thank you for giving 2 generations happy memories.
Our hearts go out to you during this time of sorrow. May you only have many happy memories to help you through.
Blessed Thoughts,
Michelle Miller
