There are no words that can express how we feel. All we can think about is that we have an angel. Ms. Chiao is, was and always will be remembered with lots of love. She has a very special place in our hearts. She was very caring and loving, a great professional and a mother to us. I will never forget how she always made sure that the office was kept warm and how she joked about how I bundled up just to cross the street. It was a great pleasure to know and work with such an outstanding person. May God give you strength Ricardo, and Bless you always. Te acompanamos en tu dolor.

For the short time that I knew ms. Chiao, I learned that she was very nice, caring and loving woman. She was very dedicated to her work and loved by all. She will be deeply missed.

I came to Franklin, you were already there. I took it for granted, I would depart and you would still be there. Over the years we have laughed, talked and sometimes diagreed, but never in my wildest dreams could I have forseen an end so tragically. You have touched us all in so many ways, that I know for sure, you will be remembered for many, many years. "Rest In Peace"

Throughout the cause of history and life, we sometimes meet people who make you laugh, cry and some you never forget. Ms. Chiao was one of those unique people nobody forgets. Her sense of humor, the way sometimes she tells a joke with a straight face was priceless and one of the kind. Life in Franklin always reminds me of the great chinese philosopher, chairman Mao, as we remember, he was the great leader, who first spoke about "the million mile journey". He said on quote: "The most difficult part of the journey is the first step and the first one mile". We'll miss Chiao. You took the first step and the first mile and the rest is history. Honestly, Lady Chiao, you did it your way with style and dignity. You are a great leader, a good friend and a nice human being in my heart. I'm going to miss you for a long, long time, but I will never, ever forget you. May the almighty lord keep you safe till we meet one day. Rest in perfect peace.

A message from Chiao: We are here for only a season. A peace before a storm. We journey down many paths enriching many lives and we are enriched by those we need. When we come to the end of that path, and the lord lye me down to rest, I pray you don't weep for me. I have journeyed on to a greater season and a greater peace without the storm. "Rest in Peace and God Bless".

No one could ever, ever replace Ms. Chiao. She is very helpful, dedicated, and hardworking person. She's also very sensitive in one's needs, always there willing to help when you need her. Ms. Chiao's memories will linger forever. Trully, I will never, ever forget her.

Ms. Chiao is my "Mentor". I've learned so much from her being a hardworking / dedicated to her job. A very nice, caring, tough person that I won't, & no one can forget.

Losing Ms. Chiao is such a big loss. I will miss seeing her face when I come in to work. When I first got my cat, I used to talk to her all the time about problems I was having with him. She had such a great love for cats that she would see him as a human. She was great to talk to about everything. I would see her talk to the nurses, if she was unhappy with something that happened. She had a nonsense way of getting her point across without getting nasty. She was greatly respected and loved by all. Her loss is felt by everyone who knew her. Franklin and her fellow employees will miss her greatly

God in his infinite wisdom thought it fit to call you home and though, we may not understand why? so soon, we were blessed and privileged to have known you. You touched many lives including my families; You always inquired about my family specially about Arnold. My husband after he turned 50, you jokingly call him "Old man" when he spoke to you on the phone. Yet you were conscientious enough to ask if he minded you calling him "Old man" (When it never bothered him) You gave advice on the kids education. You'll be deeply missed.

There is no paper of book big enough to describe how much Ms. Chiao has touched everyone she has come in contact with. She treated us all like her children and we cared about her like a mother. It is a shame to see such a good person leave us. She will be missed, remembered, and loved always.

Paying tribute to the memory of our beloved Mrs. Chiao: With unexpected sadness, death has come among us. The news of the untimely death of Mrs. Chiao came as a great shock; Particularly distressing. Now, that she has silently closed the door and departed from us, sorrow fills our hearts at this sad moment - a sorrow that is deep and personal, a sorrow that is visibly and profoundly felt by all those who knew her. The simplicity of her character endeared her to us. She is deep in our hearts and will continue there as long as there is life within us. In her passing, we feel personal loss too great to put into words. Dear Mrs. Chiao, may your soul rest in everlasting peace.

There were no strings, boxes, and a "U-Haul" to relocate, you just answer the call. Why! Oh why, did you went for the fall, I wish you were here - we would have a ball. Since you must go, the shock was a blow too hard to understand, but quite easy to know the hugs, the tears, the "Oh No". "Oh No?" showed you were a light and forever will glow. So then, Sleep on beloved, sleep and take your rest lay down your head on the saviors breast. We love you - but he loves you best. Goodbye - Goodbye - Goodbye
You will always be remembered!

(From 10/04) Dear Ms. Chiao, I will miss....Your warm greeting every morning at 5:45 a.m. Your fresh brewed coffee at 6:00 a.m. Finding your Chinese library book in the ladies room at 6:15 a.m. Your fresh flowers on my desk all the time (just because you knew I loved flowers) Your help with the staffing and schedules, Your daily voice mail messages, Your cat stories, Your drawing lines in my census book (I still can't draw a straight line with the ruler) your updating my Dialysis list, You completing my PPD test every year. I think St. Francis must have needed help in heaven (with an overflow of animals) and that's why you were taken to heaven too soon. I will miss you always and think of you often.

(from 10/04) Tonight, I am with a broken heart and sadden beyond words could express. For the past week we have experienced the most challenged event in many years at Franklin. On October 21, 2004, Thursday evening, I learned the most horrible and unbelievable news from Ricardo,(his wife,) Nurse Chiao - Our valuable team mate- passing in a car accident. It was heart breaking and unacceptable. We always thought this kind of event would only occur to someone else. Chiao was a very, very, "special" person, in her 56 years she has touched many, many lives that surrounded her. As a person, she was loving caring, genuine, helpful, considerate, respectful, flexible, and always had a smile. Nothing is too much for her, she would go out of her way to comfort others and complete her responsibilities. She always shown extra touch to make everyone motivated and energized, e.g., freshly made coffee, a kind and encouraging word. As a professional she was a role model nurse for all, never afraid to get her hands dirty. She was knowledgeable, organized, loyal, competent, committed, hard working, concerned, thoughtful, utilized her critical standards of resident care is upheld at all times. She was an excellent communicator and leader with firm and positive approaches. Her open mind disposition made each procedure's implementation process much easier. Her presence made all of our lives relaxed at night. Her extraordinary following through skills made Franklin Team special. Training new employees, she would hold their hands until they were confortable/confident. She has contributed so much to Franklin - it was a "calling" not just a "job".
Today, she has left us. On behalf the Franklin Nursing Team, residents and families. We thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss you very, very much for the years to come. We will always love you. You will live in our hearts/memories forever. We never will understand why, but we will go on as you would. God Bless Always, Love always Juliet Chang

Dear Ricky,
I am very sorry to hear about your cat today. I understand how important your pets are to you, as they are to all of us. They are a part of the family and its just as sad to see them go as our human family members.
I've been thinking a lot about Ciao lately. I still have the dishes she gave me years ago, I think they are antiques. I think of her everytime I use them.
I'm sorry I was not able to attend the funeral. I would have if the baby had come sooner. They don't let you fly when you're 10 months pregnant. Anyway, the baby is really cute and he doesn't really let us sleep much but it is really great to have this new addition to the family. Our dogs are a little jealous of the baby, but as you know mom is spoiling even the dogs during her stay with us.
It's always great to have family with you during special times and in times of need. If you are ever interested in taking a little vacation, please come to California and visit. We're having a little Christmas get together and a baptism for the baby the day after new years day. We would love it if you could come out here.
Take care and God Bless You,
Love always, Mary

Chiao etait precise, prevoyante et attentionee. Les amis qui pleurent sont depart se consolent en pensant qu'elle naurait point voulu souffrir en trainant une longue maladie. Elle n'a pas eu le temps de nous dire adieu a chacun de nous. Ce qu'elle aurait voula faire sans doute, attentionee comme elle l'etait. Elle a fait cependant
en nous temoignant au jour le jour de son amitie. Jusqu'a la derniere minute, nous aura ete presente parmi nous avec la meme constance c'est cette image de sa presence que nous garderons en nous.

I never called you by your first name; it was always Ms. Chaio. You were always a very caring and dedicated individual. That's the kind of person you were: always giving of yourself to others. You've touched so many of us with your laughter and great warmth. You will be greatly missed.
Love, Martha
