Venus - a beautiful, kind and sweet person I laughed and chatted with at work at Ortho Biotech. She was hard working and a family person.  She loved international foods and was always smiling. 
Venus left us too soon. May God bless her and her family during this difficult time.

My heart is just broken over losing our dear Venus.  She was such a beautiful spirit and soul and I will always fondly remember her fun, friendly spirit and her smile.  I had the sincere pleasure of meeting and working with Venus at J&J - our desks were right next to each other & she was just a ray of sunshine making me smile and laugh every day.  She is truly missed.  Ryu, please know Venus, you and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers.  My heart goes out to all of you and know my family and I are sending you much love, grace and serenity during this difficult time.  

Venus was a wonderful lady and I enjoyed working with her. She never had a cross word or bad thing to say about anyone. Such a delight!

So saddened by the loss of our colleague, Venus Payo. May you rest in peace dear friend and kind soul.

I send my sincere condolences to Ryu and family. My heart was broken when I heard the news and still is. Venus was one of our “OBI girls”.  She was a wonderful, sweet, kind person, and great friend to so many people. We all had so many great times together. Venus please Rest In Peace. Until we meet again. 💜


Venus was the heart of our OBI girls group. We all met in 2002 and have been there for each other through so many ups and downs and belly aching laughs. Thank you for being a friend. We love and miss you terribly sweet  V. 

Ryu and family, my heart was broken when I heard the news that we lost Venus. I worked with her at OBI, Jonhson  n Johnson NJ.  So many fond memories. Always appreciated Venus' love for food! I pray that she is resting in peace now. Hugs to you, Ryu. 

I have fond memories of Venus growing up in Somerville with our other friends. I will remember her for her outgoing spirit and food enthusiasm.
