Yen was such a great help at Cancer Care Ontario. I remember many times where I felt hopelessly lost in the various admin processes - as soon as I would talk to Yen, there was immense relief because she always knew what to do and how to do it. Yen's bright smile and laugh were fantastic assets of CCO. My heartfelt sympathies are with her family and loved ones, and my thoughts are also with her colleagues -- what a tremendous loss for CCO

My sincere condolences to Yen's family.  She is a very nice person to be with.  May you rest in peace Yen.

Yen, you were a golden ray of sunshine. Your optimistic spirit was truly infectious and an inspiration to all. I still remember meeting you on my first day at CCO as a student and am truly grateful for your guidance, humor and kindness over the past four years. You will be deeply missed.

I extend my deepest sympathy to Yen's family. I will never forget her kindness and sweet nature during my time at Cancer Care Ontario. I was fortunate enough to run into her a couple of years ago which allowed us to catch up - I will cherish that always.

Our sincerest condolences to Yen's family.  May her soul rest in peace.

Yen was a thoughtful and considerate colleague at CCO.  Her sunny disposition was delightful and made her a joy to work with.  I would like to extend my sincere condolences to her community of friends and to her family.

Yen, You helped, supported, befriended so many of us at CCO in so many different ways. We will miss your calm and cheerful presence.

Yen, I will remember our fun times on the 14th floor. Whether it was watching the Royal Wedding, or admiring your latest Joan Rivers watch, you made every day a bit of fun. 

To Yen's family:  My sincere condolences to you at this hard time. I want you to know Yen made Cancer Care Ontario a brighter place. Her memories will provide smiles for years to come.

Bogs, I will miss you forever, but it gives me comfort knowing you're with our creator, happy, beautiful, and with no more pain...Goodbye for now, but I know someday, we'll see each other again my friend, I love you, and you'll always have a special place in my heart! - Pags

Dear family members of Yen,
I offer my most sincere condolences to you on the passing of Yen from our world into the one we aspire to be...to join the other angels we've lost too soon.

As I once read on a card:  "something/someone so much a part of us can never really be gone".  

My heartfelt condolences.

Working in different departments of the same office in Manila, I had very good memories of your overall cheerful disposition. It was a pleasant surprise to bump into you in Toronto several years ago. We were always rushing on our way to work. Even though we were heading towards the opposite direction, you never failed to stop and say hello, give me a big smile and wish me a nice day! What a beautiful way to start my day! I will cherish these sweet memories of you, Yen. My heartfelt condolences to Yen's family, relatives and friends.

I still can't believe that you are gone so soon!  Yen was always smiling and such a wonderful, kind -hearted colleague. Always smiling. I will miss our French conversations and the laughter each time we tried to remember the French we learnt with Nicole. Yen will be missed. My sincere condolences to Yen's family and friends. My prayers are with Yen and her family. Rest in peace my friend!

Yen, you always made laugh - your humour was so infectious.  

Rest in Peace my friend.  

My prayers and sincere condolences to Yen's family

My sincere condolences to Yen's family and friends. I will always remember her beautiful smile. Rest in Paradise Yen.

It was initially very hard for me to accept that you are gone so soon. But it comforts me thinking that you are now with our Lord. I will miss your laughs and your "kwentos". It will never be the same without you. We have lost a dear friend but you will always be in our hearts. May you rest in peace....

My deepest condolences to Yen's family and friends. Yen was one of the first people to welcome me to CCO when I first started and her friendliness and cheer was always constant when we'd see each other. You're in my thoughts and prayers. We miss you and thank you so much for everything!

The world has lost a gentle soul. You will be missed.

Our sincere condolences to Yen's family.   It was a shock and we were very sad to hear of Yen's passing.  She was such a joy to work with.  Not only did Yen smile a lot but she made her colleagues at Cancer Care Ontario smile with her.   Yen's good humour and hearty laughter will be terribly missed.  We will cherish the fond memories.
Rest in peace Yen.
Perpetua and family.

Colleague, friend, hot-chocolate drinking buddy...I hear your laughter still. The world is a smaller place without you, dear friend. May you be peaceful, may you be happy, may you be well, wherever your spirit dwells.

For a flower has left for her heavenly abode,
Like her, may we too spread love & joy to those  around us

What lovely photos. It is so wonderful to see Yen's beautiful smile again. It was such a pleasure to work with Yen over the last few years. I miss her already. She was a friend to so many of us at Cancer Care Ontario and a great colleague. Please accept my condolences at the loss of your sister/aunt/daughter.

Eternal rest grant unto Yen. May the perpetual light shine upon you. May you rest in peace.

Not just your family, but your congregation and your work team will miss you so much. My prayers are with the family - please know how much we cared for her.
