By Karen and James and family from Canada in Memorial Online

To our dear friends in China. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you during this very difficult time. We have been very lucky to have six children that we adopted from China and 2 from the Sichuan area. One from Chengdu and the other from Bishan. We pray for all the families who have lost loved ones or who are waiting for news of those who are lost. May you hear about them very soon. We live in Canada, we send our heartfelt thoughts to you. China will forever be close to our hearts.
