Sending condolences to the Fong and Jine family on the passing of Jean.
I have many fond memories of going to the restaurant during my high school years in Botwood. Jean and James were always friendly and welcoming to us even though we were probably more of a nuisance than a source of revenue.
Thinking of you all at this sad time.
Harvey and Gerry,
So sorry to hear of your sister’s passing. Our thoughts are with you and your families.
Harry Jim and Sandy Bonia.

Gilbert Wong ( Botwood), Debbie and family

Our most heartfelt condolences.

To Gerry & Coleen. Sorry to hear of the passing of your sister.RIP
