Dear Wayne,
I'm so sorry for your loss. This site has introduced me to
someone who was very dear to you, and I can understand why. She was such a
beautiful woman with a smile that seemed able to light up any room. These
qualities have been preserved not only in this site but in you. Be proud.

Dear Paul:
So sorry to hear the passing of your better half and our
friend Jennie. Our deepest condolences to you and your family. I cannot pretend
to know how you feel even though I have gone through this myself. We still
remember Jennie vividly sitting in a tea house(Lau Sher) with you in Beijing in
1997 when we both presented papers in an engineering conference. We also
remember her vividly walking in the Canadian Rockies when we went for a high
school reunion in 1999. Both Julianne and I had a long talk with her during that
trip. Her sweetness and kindness, together with her smile, will be with us
forever.
Paul, be strong and step bravely forward with your two kids(they
are no longer kids, but still are to parent). We are all behind
you.

Dear Wayne,
My sincere condolances to Paul, Tina and you. Jennie and I
were college classmate at National Taiwan University during the early 60. I
remember her being a nice, warm, friendly and outgoing classmate. There were so
many fond memories about sharing the same college classes,trips,parties, and
after school bus ride home. We had pleasure again to meet Jennie and Paul in
recent years when they came to visit Wayne in Southern Califonia or seeking
Chinese herbal treatments for her illness. I felt so sorry for passing of a
great friend. Wayne, you did a great job in this web site for all to
visit.

My condolances go to Paul, Wayne and Tina on the passing of
Jennie
Chen. I came to know her when Paul came to work at
GM Manufacturing
Development in 1964(?). Of course, I knew
Jennie only through Paul who is my
dearest friend for life.
Jennie prepared several meals as we often did when
fellow
workers at GM would get together for good times after work.
One of
our favorite things to do after dinner was to play
Indian Poker -- a silly
game where all got to laugh a lot.
The last time I saw Jennie was during a
visit to her home
with Paul in 1994(?). I spent three days at the home
of
Paul and Jennie and it was a good time for me. Jennie was
so focused on
healthy living that we all thought we would
be gone long before Jennie. It
came as horrifying news that
Jennie had cancer which was eventually to take
her beautiful
life. I am so glad and I am a better person for knowing,
working and playing with Paul and Jennie. It was one of my
sadest days
when Paul called me to tell me the awful news.
I believe Jennie may have
developed cancer which killed her
from her work in the chemical laboratories
of Ford and
Boeing. She was too health conscious for anything else to
be
true. I will miss her singing voice answering the phone
when I called Paul.
I still have vases and folding screen,
both with chinese images and text on
them which I bought
when Paul and Jennie owned an import store here in
Michigan.
Eternal life is the thoughts and behaviors which she taught
to
us while she was alive. It is the long lasting effects
of all the good things
she did among us. I will remember
Jennie all of my life. I never heard her
say a bad word
about anyone or anything.

Wayne,
It was an honor to have met your mother through this website.
Her intelligence, spirituality, and sense of adventure have truly lived on in
her son. Thank you for a glimpse into the life of this special woman.

Dear Wayne,
I am so sorry to hear that your Mother passed away. I
didn't meet your Mom, but I know her son, and what a geat person he is. You are
a reflection of her, and a good reflection at that. She will sweetly, and
comfortably rest in heaven and look at you as a blessed part of her life.
Congratulations to both of you. My Mother died on Jan. 30,2001, and the
adjustment to her absence is difficult, very difficult. However, be encouraged.
God's sense of time, healing and the future is powerfully gentle and complete. I
have found that the sense of absence has developed into warm feelings of
affection that I have not previously experienced.
I wish you and your Dad the
best.
Keep in touch.
Your Friend,
Dan

I hope this guestbook will serve as an area
for each of you to share
your perspectives on who
Jennie was and how you want to remember her.
Even if you didn't know my mom, I encourage
comments about what you have
learned after going
through this website. Thanks in advance.
