Always a smile and warm welcome greeted you at her door. Visitors were treated like royalty and fed the most delicious food with extras to take home - along with prize winning vegetables from her garden. Mrs Wong you are missed and admired in the qualities of Lily, Barry and Kami.

Goodbyes are so hard... And this one in particular makes every cell in my body ache with sadness... 💔 Some people say that living a long life should provide some comfort to those of us left behind after someone passes but to me, it just means you loved them that much longer & harder, created more memories with them, shared more, laughed more, cried more with them & built a stronger bond ... While my heart hurts terribly, my head knows that you are in a better place now, free of pain and all the sorrow with which the hardships of your life haunted you. I will miss holding your hand, hearing you laugh, listening to you share stories from the old country, seeing your face light up when I popped in for surprise visits, giving you “head bonks” and “oo-ah, oo-ah’s”, having that unconditional love that only you knew how to make me feel with a simple knowing glance. You were my guiding light, my advocate, my soft energy in a cold, hard world. Selfishly, I want you still here with me in physical form but spiritually, I know you will always be with me and you will guide me from above as my guardian angel... This is one of my fave pics of you that sits on my desk... I hope you are dancing as happily in heaven now as you were in this pic here on earth. I love you and will miss you for eternity my sweet Popo. Rest in peace, rejoice in being reunited with the loved ones you’ve missed for so long and remember how I always told you, when you couldn’t shake the sadness of your hard life, “Think happy thoughts”... Be happy Popo, be happy. You of all people deserve that. Finally. Now and forever. With all my love, sweet Grandma, dance, smile, and be happy ... you are finally free ... 🕊💕
