Family Tie  / Winnie Wong (daughter)
To my Dearest Daddy,

I am so sorry that I have not been visiting you at your website! Please forgive me!
However, I do think of you everyday. Even you are gone , but somehow it seems like it is just a dream.
When I was sick, I thought of you. when I am happy, I think of you.
when I am sad, I want to be with you.
Chinese New Year is coming next week. The family is having the chinese new year dinner tonight as usual. Nel and I are not going to be there. He is working today.
Daddy, I think I am going crazy! I want to move back to SF, but Nel doesn't want to. However, I am living a very comfortable life here. No work, just being a housewife. On the other hand, I do miss the family get together events.
The two girls are getting bigger. Kelly is so smart like you and Karmen is getting better at school. You will be proud of them.
Also, you have became a great grand dad last year. Wanda has her first child named Sonia. Mom is the same like usual.
I know you are watching over us in heaven.
daddy, I miss you ... xoxo Close

Still miss you...  / Gloria (daughter)
Dearest Daddy,

Three years have come and gone
Life for us has changed...
Nothing is the same
Something is missing...you

You were once the glue
We now do the best we can
Nothing is the same
Something is missing...you

We still wish to make you proud
You are still with us in all we do but...
Nothing is the same
Something is missing...you.

Always on my mind, forever in my heart...
Gloria Close

Time goes by  / Winnie Wong (daughter-spoiled)
My dearest daddy, Time have gone by! it is almost your birthday again! As a mentioned to Gloria that I wish you are here with me, so we can spend more valuable time together. However, I will never forget the time that we had share together especially your laugh and your kindness toward everyone!!! I will always treasure the love that you had for us! I missed you so much!!! Forever Love, Winnie Close

Forgive me Dad...  / Gloria (daughter)
Daddy, how are you?  I'm sorry for not visiting as much...but you hear me at home?  You are on my mind and I need/want to see you.  

I'm very sorry for not understanding the pain you went through...I was a coward and not wanting to face the truth so I allowed myself to believe that you were ok.   I know I will pay for this mistake and suffer what you experienced...I only hope then I will have your forgiveness.

Look after us Dad...and try to pay me a visit...I do miss you.  

Much love,
Gloria Close

An Angel by Your Side  / Angelica Grover (Twinless Twin)
May You Always Have
An Angel by Your Side

“May you always have an angel by your side
Watching out for you in all things you do
Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days
Finding ways for your wishes and dreams to come true
Giving you hope that is as certain as the sun
Giving you the strength of serenity as your guide
May you always have love and comfort and courage
And may you always have an angel by your side
Someone there to catch you if you fall
Encouraging your dreams
Inspiring your happiness
Holding your hand and helping you through it all
In all of our days, our lives are always changing
Tears come along as well as smiles
Along the roads you travel, may the miles be a thousand times more lovely than lonely
May they give you gifts that never, ever end: someone wonderful to love and a dear friend in whom you can confide
May you have rainbows after every storm
May you have hopes to keep you warm
And may you always have an angel by your side”

I wished you are here!  / Winnie Wong (daughter)
Dearest Daddy, This is me, your third daughter-Winnie!!! I missed you very much and I hope you are here with all of us now!!! Funny thing is when I see an old Chinese man who dressed like you walk by me, I thought it was you! I cried at night when I think of your last day here with us!! I wish you are here so you can wear a special PJ which I can make for you! the memories which I have with you are unforgetable and it hurt so much to think about it!!! Remember the last thing which you had told me in your bedroom!!! I will never forget it!! I am doing my best to be the best daughter, best sister, best auntie and best wife to our family. Daddy, I missed you so very much and it hurt deeply inside my heart!! Love you always and forever!! Close

Daddy Girl  / Anh Nguyen (none)
I know exactly how you feel.  I lost my father June 6, 2003 from cancer.  Before he passed I never thought I would feel this way because being asian (im vietnamese) we were brought up to have a stronger bond with mothers so these emotions have caught me by surprise.  But I do think about him everyday and moment.  And like your father, my father loved his grandchildren.  At age 70 he was so stong he sometimes take his shirt off and wrestle with them.  Now, before I go to bed I will say a prayer not only for my father but yours as well because like the circle of life they will meet and see what influences that have made on "Daddy's Girl."  Close

Im sorry for your loss of a loved one  / Danielle (Passer by )
I have come across this page and the words that Gloria and Winnie have wrote about there Dad passing seem all but to true.  I lost my father in 2005 and I too have a site here for him.  This website is very inspiring.  I just wanted to send my condolences to you and yours.  I hope you all have a happy new year! Close

Condolences / Trisha (Stranger)
Dear Family,

Please accept my condolences; I am very sorry for your loss. In times of grief it is very hard to know what to say that would be comforting, especially since I am a stranger to you.

When we lose loved ones in death so many emotions and thoughts flood the mind. Some wonder, where the deceased are, can they see or hear us, will we see them again? If you have wondered these things, please see the following web link that has some very comforting thoughts from the Bible.

Sincerely,
Trisha

Miss you...  / Gloria (daughter)
Dearest Daddy, Christmas came and gone...did you come to join us for the gathering?  I hope you liked the roses and the card I got you...  It's New Year's Eve and the girls are here.  They have grown so much and they really enjoy sleeping over...you would be so happy to see them.   I know how much they meant to you and the joy they brought you...they miss you a lot and speak of you often.  

Miss you...love you...wish you were here... Close

Another year...nothing changes  / Gloria (daughter)
Dearest Daddy, can't believe you've been gone for 2 years already.  Still can see your smiling face, hear your kind fatherly voice...how can it be that you are no longer with us?  Your last days and last moment still haunt me...it just breaks my heart to realize how much pain you were in but I was too naive to see it or too weak to admit it...always thinking you've turned the corner and you'll be fine...

Daddy, I'm so so very sorry...I can never turn back time but I hope you know how much I love you and miss you.  You were always so kind, fun, easygoing, curious...we all miss you so so much...

Always on my mind...forever in my heart...

Gloria Close

Happy Birthday  / Gloria (daughter)
Dearest Daddy,

Happy Birthday...only wish you were here so we can celebrate and do the things you love...dim-sum, horse racing, relax at home, dinner...

The Chinese saying "Holidays intensify one's thought of families"...how true and sad...  The holidays are just no longer the same without you...

While others are celebrating today's Harvest Moon Festival, we'll be wishing you were here and thinking of the times we've had together. 

Miss you so very much...

With much love and sadness, 
Gloria Close

Happy Birthday to you!  / Winnie Wong (daughter)
Dearest Daddy, it is your birthday on this coming Friday! I have dreamed of you last two times. I have thought of you almost everyday when I am awake. It always bring me tears when I think of you. I missed the good times that we had together. I missed the conversation which we had together. I missed your laughter! I missed going to your room and watch TV and DVD with you. I missed going shopping with you! You always make me laugh when we were shopping together. Daddy, Your love is the most important thing in my life and I am thankful for the the day you bought me to this world. Thank you for sharing your life with me! Love Always and Forever, Winnie Close

Happy Birthday  / Candy Lynch
Larger then life your star shone so bright

unforgetable memories  / Winnie Wong (daughter)
Good Morning! Daddy, I am having my first cup of coffee this morning! I will never forget the time which you and I have a cup of coffee together! I think of you every time I have my coffee. the memories of you were so sweet and also very sad! I cried when I think of you. People say" life goes on" I disagreed! our heart is empty due to you are gone! Love forever and always, Winnie(y.w.) Close

Missing you...  / Gloria (daughter)
Dearest Daddy, miss you so very much.  Visited you on Father's Day - what a sad day...  Still remember the last Father's Day we celebrated together...having a sad lingering feeling that it may be the last.  I miss you so very much.

Please forgive me, daddy.  I was not strong for you during your last days...so much I could have said or done for you but didn't.  Instead you stayed strong for all of us until the very end...kept up your pride and dignity throughout your pain and sufferings.   

You taught us until the very end...know that we all love you and miss you very very very much...

You can never be replaced or forgotten.  Know that you are always on my mind and forever in my heart.

Love you dearly forever,
Gloria Close

A comforting hope  / Liz
I would first like to express my condolences to the family.  I would also like to share a positive hope from the bible, it' s taken from the bible book of John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 which says: " Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."  This is just one of the many promises that the bible holds out for those we have lost in death.  To find out more please feel to contact me at my email address.
