A Tribute to Aunt Fong

Forever in Our Hearts: Remembering 
            Aunt Fong (芳姨) 
We are heartbroken to hear of Aunt Fong’s passing, with the memories of our September visit still so vivid. She talked about our past visits, and about how she used to take Chung-Chung, our son, to the nearby park and play with him when he was little.

Whenever we visited Vancouver, Aunt Fong made us feel comfortable and welcome. She invited us to stay at her house, and her hospitality was generous and unpretentious. She even let us stay in her room! When we went out to dinner, everyone seemed to know her and would stop by to say hello. She had kind words for everybody, and we will never forget how her laugh could light up the room.

She kept in touch with everyone by phone at Chinese New Year and on birthdays. We loved talking to her, as she spoke openly and honestly about people and situations without hiding her true thoughts.

Her authenticity, wisdom, love, and energy will always remain in our hearts.

Rest peacefully, dear Aunt Fong.

Condolence Message

I was deeply saddened to hear about Auntie Jennifer’s passing.  Having known her since I was a little boy, she was more than just an Auntie to me.  We spent a lot of happy moments together when she often invited me to sleep over with her and her parents in their house on George Lane, Hong Kong.  She was then a teenager, and I was a little boy 12 years younger.  We shared happy moments playing in playgrounds, shopping for candies, and going to cinemas, sometimes joined by my younger brother Peter, and some of her friends.

I missed her a lot when she immigrated to Trinidad.  She then got married to Uncle Stephen to build up a happy family with six children.  We visited each other quite often after her whole family moved to Canada.  In the past twenty years, she has been flying all the way from Vancouver to attend my Mom’s birthday celebrations in Hong Kong, sometimes accompanied by her children and grand children.

She has now left us to join Uncle Stephen in Heavan.  She will be remembered as a warm caring and joyful Auntie.  Her beautiful spirit will always live on in my heart.
