To The Chin Family, I give you my most deepest sympathy for your greatest loss. I just know that she was a loving and giving person. That in fact she will be deeply missed by many, but now she is jointed once again with her loving husband in heaven as it was before and it shall be until the end of times. May the Grace of God keep you in his tender loving Care always.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Choy Chin.
We saw alot of Choy Chin & Fu Chin when my mother, Myrtle Mongoy was here among us, but she too is now with the Angels.
I always remember your mom & dad with a big smile while your dad took all the pictures at different functions.
It seems like they had a very fulfilled life with a big family.
In closing I would like to extend from my family to your family, our deepest regrets in the passing of your parents.
Sincerely, Margaret Mongoy Mason
