Coach Yen

Recently, one of our Linfield coaches suffered a terrible loss.  Longtime WR Coach and former Wildcat player, James Yen, lost his father Clarence after a courageous fight with lung cancer.  I wasn't sure if it was my place to discuss this on the blog and I'm still not sure if I'm out of line in writing about this.  However, I was recently contacted by a friend of the Yen family regarding the passing of Clarence they asked me to pass along this link to a guest book where our Linfield family can reach out to the Yen's to express our condolences for their loss.  This family friend is right in that our Linfield community should reach out and tell the Yen's we support them and care for them. 

There is nothing any of us can say or do to ease the pain of such a loss but it's important to support those we care about during a time of loss.  Coach Yen has been such a positive force for the Linfield coaching staff over the years and his players and coaching peers have a deep bond with Coach Yen.  Most of us may have not had the pleasure or honor to meet Clarence Yen but that shouldn't stop you from reaching out to express your condolences and well wishes to Coach Yen and his family.
