Yong Vang Chang funeral

Words from the children of Yong Vang Chang:

Dear families and friends,

For those who did not know, our father, Yong Vang Chang, is no longer here with us. He fulfilled his mission here on earth on June 18, 2021.

March of 2021, our dad was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer after complaining of stomach pain. Upon hearing this news, life came to a screeching halt for him and our whole family. Being so far apart from each other, we could only hope and pray he held on until we see each other again.

Because of how much pain he was in already, he decided to battle the cancer on his own, opting out of chemotherapy. Shortly after that, his health deteriorated much quicker than we anticipated. In order for him to be comfortable, we decided to put him on hospice.

Through God’s grace, in May we were able to spend time with him before he passed. Our children were able to hug and kiss their grandpa one last time, as we all watched with teary eyes. And as for us, his children, we were blessed to have the opportunity to say good bye to him and have him say it back. Words that we kept so deep in our heart were finally spoken, and tears that we hid so deep down poured out without a fight. Before we knew it, everyone was back to their daily lives, leaving dad and mom all alone again.

The time we had together was too short and it broke our dad’s heart even more. Depression set upon him as he lay in bed missing all of his children one by one. Not being able to eat or drink, his health weakened and his days were numbered. It was a long and exhausting battle, but at the end we lost our dad to cancer on June 18, 2021 at 6:20 am. May he rest happily and feel no more pain.

In hope of doing this gofundme is not to gain money on our behalf but to give access for those who would like to give sunshine money but can’t attend the funeral. Because of Covid and restrictions, traveling may be hard on some so we understand fully if you can not make it. With every dollar that is given, it is greatly appreciated and we pray that you will get it back in ten folds. If you would like to send sunshine money to us any other ways, please feel free to contact anyone of us through Facebook or donate directly to PayPal [email redacted]. Thank you again.

The funeral will be held on Sunday August 8, 2021 at Kaul’s funeral home in Clinton twp, Michigan. We look forward to seeing everyone as we need all the support we can get. And for those that cannot make it but have sent money and prayers, we want to thank you all from the bottom of our heart. May God bless you all.
