Look towards the heavens for your strength because if you love God you will see Venas again. Venas was like an angel sent from God who helped me take care of my father, my mother and even my babybrother Bob. I will continue to ask the Lord to comfort Beautiful,Ms. Chin, all of her love ones and even her friends. God be with you.

We send our deepest sympathy to Venas's family. She took care of our Mom when she was in assisted living & Mom loved her! When I would go to CT to visit Mom, she would sit down with my grandson & tell him all about Jamaica, she even gave him a flag because he had asked her for one. When my Mom was moved to a nursing home, Venas would take a bus just to visit her there. She was so very sweet, always smiling & making my Mom smile too! We all were so grateful for her excellent, loving care! Venas, make sure you say hello to my Mom & enjoy your visits with her in heaven.

To the family of Venas, I am so sorry for your loss. Venas was a very sweet and caring person to my mom while she was in Assisted Living, which is now called Middlebrook Farms in Trumbull. She attended to her lovingly and gently. She made my mom laugh, and sang spiritual songs to her. My mom held and kissed Venas's hand often. I believe she felt the love Venas had for her. She will be missed greatly on this earth, and those that knew her know she is with Jesus now. I believe my mom and Venas had a glorious time reuniting in Heaven.

May God bless Venas and her family and loved ones at this difficult time. She cared for my Mom for years and was so loved by her and my whole family. She loved to sing and had such a beautiful voice. I know Venus will be singing with the Angels in Heaven. I will miss your beautiful smile.
