Kris and I are so sorry for your family’s loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
Dazi was first cousin of my dad. I found this page on the web while searching info about my family tree. I cannot tell how emotional it is to read about her and the big beloved family!
I would love to get in touch with some of them, if they see this message.
