I'm so sorry for your loss.

Mr. Chow was truly one of the kindest and most humble person I've ever known. His gentle spirit and generous heart made a difference in so many lives.
I will always cherish fond memories I have with all of you. I miss you all so much.

Thinking of all you from afar.

My wife and I went to your restaurant for many years. The food was amazing. But you and your wife and children were great people. I am so happy that you had such a wonderful life. We need more people like you and your family in this world. Thank you for a great memory for me. May the Lord bless you and your wonderful family.
