Mrs.Chu,
I found you to be one of the finest people I have ever known in my 67 years of living. You were always greeting me with your dazzling smile. I felt like your best friend while you were with me at Washoe Med. I will never ever forget you and I'm so glad you came into my life when you did. Your loving friend, Coni---Reno, NV

Dear Diana & David - Your Mom was our very good friend of many years. We worked together at UNR at the Orvis School of Nursing. We were so sad to hear of her passing. We will always treasure the time we spent with your Mom and Dad. They were very special to us. They will be greatly missed!

Dear Diana and David, Your mom was an amazing person, and I am so sorry she is gone. She was so kind and supportive, always quick to laugh, and always made me feel a part of your family. I have so many happy memories of our trips to Sacramento to watch David play ping pong, eating dim sum, your mom's special shrimp recipes, once in a lifetime trips overseas, and family weddings. I wish I could be with you both right now. Love, Candi
