Rose TAN Obituary
Rose Bridget Tan (nee Chung) passed away peacefully on April 18, 2015 at the young age of 62. She is survived by her devoted husband Tony, and daughters Madeleine and Rebecca. A dynamo in a diminutive 5'2" frame, Rose was a rare blend of femininity, wit, energy, creativity, courage, selflessness and old- fashioned gumption. A Celebration of Rose's Life will be held at The Arbutus Club, 2001 Nanton Avenue (at Arbutus Street), on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at 2:30 p.m.

Dear Tony, Madeleine & Rebecca:
I am so sorry to hear of Rose's passing.
I first met Rose when she joined us for the annual girls' Christmas Buffet at JJ's Fine Dining in the Vancouver Community College.Rose was a delightful guest at our dinner table regaling us with stories working with the Vancouver Opera.
Dear Rose, you will never be forgotten by those of us whose lives you touched.
Yes, love and remembrance does last forever.
