Raha Jorjani published a comment Supervisor Chan was a human rights advocate through and through and in losing her, Alameda County and the greater community have suffered a great loss. Supervisor Chan's support for our Immigration Unit at the Alameda County Public Defender's Office has been unwavering and steadfast and yet another example of the direct difference she has made in the lives of some of our most vulnerable community members. And an example of courageous women of color coming through for all of us, yet again. It has been an honor to collaborate with Supervisor Chan over the last several years and we will miss her dearly. Our hearts go out to her family and friends during this time. Supervisor Chan - thank you for your brave heart and clear voice.

Juan Gonzalez published a comment Supervisor Chan served as an ardent advocate for the underserved. The residents of San Leandro are particularly grateful for Ms. Chan's role in saving San Leandro Hospital from closure. At the time the hospital was the only acute care hospital with an emergency room in our city. Ms. Chan's persistence delivered dividends with the hospital's ownership being transfered to the publicly controlled Alameda Health System. Thank you for this and many other examples of fighting for those in need.

Maryruth Belsey Priebe published a comment It was an enormous honour to learn from such a creative, decisive, determined woman whose passion for equity and building a better community was evident in everything she did. Alameda will certainly miss Supervisor Chan’s leadership, but her legacy will live on in all the lives she changed, including mine.

Candace Eng published a comment I attended the memorial celebration of life this afternoon for Wilma Chan. All the speakers eloquently express all attendees were feeling. I was proud and fortunate to have Wilma Chan as my Alameda County Supervisor/political representative. I attended a senior luncheon hosted and attended by Wilma Chan at the San Leandro Senior Center right next to the San Leandro Hospital m, which Wilma rescued from closure. I’ve been a San Leandro resident for the past 30 years. I am a fourth generation Californian, Chinese-Anerican born in Oakland, CA and the daughter of the first Chinese-American elected to the Oakland City Council, Dr. Raymond L. Eng. I believe he would have proud of Wilma Chan’s numerous accomplishments on behalf of our community. She will continue to be a positive role model as her legacy continues to in her legislation and deeds. We were blessed to be the recipients of her efforts!
