Hey Brenda, will never forget all our good times. Thank you for all the happiness and great memories you brought us. There are just so much to say, but I know you will continue to listen up there.
Dear Linda, Anna & Chan Family
Please accept our deepest condolences for your Family’s great loss.
May Brenda Chan rest in peace.
We are greatly saddened by the loss of our beloved niece. Brenda was always such a joy to be with and her friendly smile could brighten up a cloudy day. She has gone too soon but her kindness and her positive attitude will always stay with us. While we will miss her dearly on earth we also know heaven now has one more angel there.
It has been hard writing these lines because it’s hard to use words to describe all the feelings involved in it. I met Bee at work. I remember the first day we saw each other for the first time. She was magical not because she looked like an angel, but because she had that aura… She was glowing from the inside. I feel honored and special for knowing the amazing person that Brenda was. She showed us that no matter how hard life can be, we must all learn from it every day and embrace every moment of it, because we never know how or when it’s gonna end. Have a great journey up there honey, I’m sure we’ll meet again. Again this is not goodbye, this is just see you later. I love you.
We were friends by chance and family by fate. I was lucky to know to Brenda and later be reunited as cousin in-laws. Although our times together were short, I will always remember our after school adventures and sweet, kind and generous person you were. Rest in peace now, my friend.
I met Brenda through Clara. Clara spoke so highly of her beautiful, strong older sister, Brenda. When I met Brenda her smile was contagious and her kindness shone through. Brenda will forever be missed. Sending all my love to the chan family.
My deepest condolences to Kenny, Clara and the family.
I still cannot believe that my dear friend Brenda has left us.
We clicked right away on the first day I met her. I still remember telling her that good friends are hard to find, and I can tell right away who we should keep close and who not.
Just in a glance, 9 years has passed. Until this day, I have cherished her friendship. We always enjoyed each other’s company no matter where we met or talked.
Brenda has the kindest soul and she really is like an angel sent from above. The only reason she has left us so soon is because god wants to keep her close to him.
Brenda, I will miss you deeply. Every time I look at the sky, I will think of you and know that you are looking at us, smiling from high above.
May you Rest In Peace. God bless.
