Two reader comments about Philip Chau
Philip is the most sweetest, caring, intelligent, care-free man you could have ever met. He was a nursing student at Rio Hondo College. On his spare time he volunteered as hospitals. Philip was unfortunately and tragically taken away from us to soon. Philip is survived by his parents, 2 sisters, 3 brothers and many other family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

If there were more people like Philip, this world would be a much better place. I miss him so much, his family and friends miss him so much.
