This is a bittersweet Mother’s Day for me since it is the first one after my mom died. I miss our daily conversations and her sage advice. I miss how she was always up for whatever silliness we could dream up. I miss all the great food she cooked and how she always took care of us. Happy Mother’s Day Mom, I will always miss you.

Typical Deby - 3 days late on the New year. Also typically CHIN family - your kids are all celebrating next Saturday. Gong Hay Fat Choi Mom!

Mabel,

We lost Gordon last year. Your passing so soon was such a shock. You and Gordon were together for 60 years. You two shared many adventures and trips together. You were a great couple and a great team. And you two will be a great team together again. Gordon is waiting for you. We will miss you terribly. You and Gordon are together again. The two of you will always be remembered and never forgotten, in our hearts and memories.

You are loved and will be missed Auntie Mabel. Spending time with you was always a highlight at family get-togethers. You had a great curiosity and love of life - I always enjoyed getting your take on everything from Tai Chi, to world travel, to family stories from the old days.

I am very honored that I was accepted as a son-in-law by Mrs Mabel Chin. She was tolerant of me when I was at my worst for the sake of her beloved daughter, Deby. She won me over with her patience and kindness , and influenced me to become a better person. Whenever we visited me made sure that I had good coffee and was made comfortable. I feel like she welcomed me into the family and I grew to love and respect her so very much. She was a fantastic mother, grandmother and mother-in-law. She truly was, and in memory, still is a wonderful person. 

Mabel was an inspiration to me as a young woman. She taught Chinese cooking classes through 4-H; more importantly, her home was our home away from home. Our families were close and she both comforted and inspired me. I learned so many lessons during those years. She helped me grow into a responsible adult. Thank you!

I have known Mabel for nine years, since joining the Cascade senior center. She taught me so much about tai- chi and patience. Mabel was an amazing lady and she has greatly influenced the rest of my life. She and Gordon are together and are at peace.

Mabel, you have always been the second mother to Hank and me. We always appreciated you taking care of us in our younger years before you moved away shortly after Deby was born. Raising twins is always a difficult task.  We can always distinguish who is who in the baby pictures because you were the one to always carry me. 
I already miss our two and sometimes three weekly conversations. I am so grateful to have travelled with you at least annually in the past 20 years. I will see you again someday.
RIP Dear Sis

Mom, I will miss you so very much. I wasn't ready for you to leave us, but I know you are with Dad now and traveling new adventures. I hope that I will be as strong as you in the coming years. I miss the little things, like our morning texts, and the big things like helping plan the big family vacations. I'm going to miss talking to you about the trials and tribulations of daily life. I know you are watching over us, keeping us in line in your own special way. Love Deby
