From the Chao & Langley Families
With heavy hearts, we share that Colleen Chao (Langley) peacefully made her way home to eternity on July 27, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.
While our hearts are broken, we are grateful that her passing was peaceful. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for, encouraged, and loved Colleen and our family throughout this journey. Your kindness has meant more than words can express.
We take comfort in knowing Colleen is now completely healed, at peace, and home after demonstrating such resilience and strength.
We pray Colleen’s words in her last book, ‘On our way home’ can bring you hope in your own lives.
Love Eddie, Jeremy, and the Chao/Langley Family
