We extend our deepest thoughts and prayers for a wonderful women who seemed to touch everyone with her wonderful smile and infectious laugh. She always treated us like she was our own grandmother and welcomed us with open arms. We always enjoyed the red envelopes, dumplings and gentle pressure to make a grandchild for her and my parents. We will always keep her in our hearts and think of her fondly. She truly embodied the concept of being as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. She truly radiated love to anyone she met. The Chang family will always miss po po and think of her fondly. The world is a little brighter because of all the lives she touched and all the family she created.
