Hello Jessica and Peter. I have thought of you frequently over the past year and the loss of your mom and wife.  As time goes by the memories of good times and love are filling up the hole that was left last year in your lives. 

Of course this past year has been filled with many firsts. First easter, mothers day, and so on  .. ..... you have many amazing memories as do I and a houseful of momentos  to cherish. 
I miss her too.

Dear Grace,
Sorry it took so long to write in here. I don’t have a good excuse. Life got in the way. As I am getting up there in age, I have lost friends and family but I have to say, your loss has affected me the most. Although we only knew each other for a short 5 years, we packed a lot of friendship into that time frame. Many lunches on Commercial Drive for sushi, long chats at the office, fun times at Good Fridays (also at the office), are just some of my many fond memories of you. You were such a kind and giving person! Leaving us kind notes and treats on our desks, always the hostess with the mostess at all of our parties, always being a shoulder to cry on, always wanting to help out and take care of everyone you knew. The world needs more people like you were Grace! I had a dream about you the other night. Not about anything in particular, you were just there. One of those full colour vivid dreams. I think you came to visit me in my dream :) I miss you Gracie! You are gone too soon. Til we meet again. Your friend, Wayne 


I miss her already.

She was my mentor, a colleague,  work-mom, work-sister, shopping buddy, and my good friend. I'll cherish all the memories we had, I will never forget her.

My dearest Grace,

You are an extraordinary human being! It is my privilege to call you a dear friend!  You were always positive, direct, honest, caring and loving. You put family and friends above all else. I love you and miss you, heartbroken not to have you with us anymore. But I know after you shed the tired and worn out body, your spirit soars high and travels freely. You are among us, make us laugh and love more. 

Love you and miss you dearly!

Alice

My dear Grace,

You are someone I hold dearly in my heart. I will always remember you as a "Ray of Sunshine."  You are a special part of my childhood,  not just in tutoring me on every weeknight, but back then before the computer and the internet connected world, you wrote out thousands of study questions by hand for me in preparation of my school tests and exams.   Aside from studying, we shared personal moments where we discussed as friends on topics ranging from your love relationships to your career; from my school life back then to you sharing with me your tips on motherhood after I have became a mother myself.  

The enjoyable moments we spent and the endless discussion topics we shared not only allowed us to build our special bonding as student and tutor, but most importantly, as each other’s dear friends.  Grace, I will dearly miss you, but your spiritual body will live on far greater than my fond memories of you. 

"So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; and it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body."  
(1 Corinthians 15:42-44)

Yours always,
Jade 


Dear Grace,
I can’t believe you are no long amongst us.  Your passing away reminded us to treasure every moment in life and to love our family and friends more.  Sorry I did not host a Heep Yunn New Year’s party at my place last year because of some family matters.  We had so much fun in the past parties and your laughter brought us abundant of joy in our house.  Your enthusiasm and warm personality will always live in my memories.  
May God hold you in His hands and Rest in Peace.
My heartfelt condolences,
Jessie


Grace's  warmth and caring for everyone, and her smiling face are evident to everyone who met her, as you can certainly tell from the tributes here. 

The last time we spoke, I was struck by her still very positive outlook in the face of the battle she was in. Grace is a very special soul, and I will remember her and cherish that. 

Grace, if I could be there in person to celebrate your life I would. 
My sincere condolences to Grace's family and all her friends. <3 

My Dear Grace
So thankful and blessed for having a unique and amazing friend like you!  Your love and laughter will be in our hearts forever. 
Goodbye  with a Big Big Hug
Will meet again.  Love 💕
Olivia Cheung HYS

My Dearest Grace, 


I still cannot believe you are not among us anymore. Our friendship started 7 years ago when I was hired by H+B. From the first day I met you, I had a feeling you would always be my friend. You always cared about me, supported me and always had a treat for me on my desk. I will never forget that! 


I will never forget your beautiful smile and your kindness. You always cared about people and wanted to make sure they were happy. 


After I left H+B, I was always so excited to see you and have happy hour lunch together! We would talk, laugh and chat for hours. I really missed our gatherings (you, Julie and I). 


I am so happy that Julie and I could surprise you and celebrate your 60th birthday at my place! It is one of the best memories I have with you. 


You will always be in my heart and I will love you forever!

Today I formally say goodbye to my dear friend Grace, I was her secondary schoolmate in HK, I do not have the luck of having her around in the recent 30+ years but her care and love were deep in my heart.  Grace embraced me when I experienced the first big frustration of getting a disappointing public exam result.  After not connecting with Grace for 10 years, I went to a cruise with my husband and passed by Vancouver, she gave us a warm welcome and treated me like a little sister, she told my husband that he should take good care of me.

My beloved sister, last night I saw a bright star in the sky, twinkled like your smiling eyes, was that  you looking at us with your bright smile?  I understand that you are far from us but your love and care are always around with your beloved family and friends.  

Bye with a big Hug we used to have, Love you.

Mariana Lau from HYS

Dear Grace

Just couldn't imagine this was the last picture we had.  Your caring heart, enthusiasm, integrity and genuine laughter made you a star among our group.  Missing you, you are always my beloved big big sis.  RIP!

My Dear Grace, 
We met at H&B, I was hired as a CAD specialist and we become fast friends. That was almost 20 years ago! We remained friends ever since. I’m so honored to know you as my work mom/big sister/great friend who cared for me and looked out for me even I left H&B. I miss your smile, warm touch, laughter, and fabulous style of clothes. You always looked cheery and made me giggle.  My most fond of memories are having lunch with you and me nibbling your yummy spare ribs.  You were always willing to share your lunch with me. And many happy hour memories at white spots. Our beautiful memories will always stay with me in my heart.  Rest in peach Grace, I’ll miss you.  


My Dearest Grace,

G Ma was such a fitting nickname for you as you were my work mom “G Ma”.    You were one of the most caring and giving people I had the pleasure of knowing.  You would walk into the office every morning with the most cheerful disposition.   Although we only knew each other a short time,  I’m honoured to have had the pleasure of having you in my life.  I’m even more so honoured that you were able to meet my babies.  Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I will miss your smile, your laughter, your singing, and just taking with you about life.  May you find rest and peace where ever you are in the universe now. Love you Danielle oxox 

Grace, although we had been colleagues for only a year, our friendship has lasted for more than thirty three years, it is a great gift from God.  I will treasure our memories and we will meet again in heaven somedays. Rest in peace.

Auntie Grace, 

It is so hard to say goodbye when you mean SO much to everyone of us. You always carry such a big beautiful smile on your face and always make everyone in the room happy!  You are a gift giver and always offer a helping hand. We love being around you! 

You will forever be in all of our hearts! 

Here is a photo of my mum Annie and Auntie Grace :) 

I remember the day Grace began her career with Catalyst....she brought some previous customer service experience with her and the contract furniture industry became her new found passion. And it was a passion to reckon with!
Complete, on time and flawless was her mantra. Always ready to give a smile and a giggle about the crazy world of ordering and installing furniture. (I can still hear that giggle!) Grace was that bright light in the office that you knew would make it work.
But she cherished the social side of all our lives even more. For one, she loved to get away to the White Spot on Georgia for lunch; share stories of her family and catch up with yours.  Grace was always on board to hang out and have a bit of fun.
A dear friend; I will miss Grace and offer Peter, Jessica  and the family my sincere condolences.

Grace was my beloved sister-in-law. We were two women bound together into a much larger extended family through marriage. Over the many years together, we welcomed the birth of new little ones, celebrated birthdays, graduations and weddings.  During countless dim sum luncheons and family dinners, Grace & I often found ourselves huddled together sharing stories about work, the challenges of raising kids and taking care of aging parents. She often seemed in a hurry - even in her conversations - which sometimes would exasperate me by asking a question followed by another before I could fully answer. I understand now that time is indeed a luxury; there truly is no time like the present.

Grace always made a point of asking about me and my family and continued to do so even as her own health was quickly deteriorating. Each of her questions broke my heart as they were always about the care of someone else or something that absolutely needed to be taken care of; Appointments to be cancelled, things to be collected or returned. She just had a way of getting things done - even till the very end.

She loved everything I baked. If there was cake, Grace would be there. I shall miss her very much and trust that where she rests now, there will be an abundance of pastries and extraordinarily good wine. 

Grace, I will be thinking of you and remembering your love and laughter with my next glass of red.

Anne

Grace , was the best friend anyone could ask for.  I had the honor of working with her for almost 20 years.   My children grow up knowing my friend Grace was part of my H&B Family. 
She was always ready to help out or plan little fun, at the office or after work.  She was one of a kind person in my life, thank you for all the beautiful memories.    Our time together was to short but we did make the most of it. It was a pleasure knowing you thank you for  all the great times together. 

Grace rest in peace , thanks for support to our family when we were in need , Now our turn to support your family and friends  may God bless you all

Grace
It is unbelievable that you are gone. That morning you messaged me , i thought it was like all the other messages we have been sending back and forth until i read "Im coming to the end of my life". It stopped me in my tracks. ...over the days I came to believe and pray for a miracle.  Coming out of surgery myself, i was unable to travel. I was sure there would be time to see you. We continued to chat until the chats became less and less. I read and re read your initial text. I realized you were saying goodbye.  
I had to get to see you. Thankfully i made it and saw your beautiful angelic face.  I made it to sing you the song i promised i would sing.  Holding your hand, I could feel your gentle squeeze. I wanted to believe you knew i was there and then when i was holding sweet Jessica i saw your tears.   For that moment, we were just you and me,"sisters" and family always. Im so sorry you are gone!
You taught me how to honour and respect one another, to see each other and our differences, and to be patient with the things i did not understand. You called me your 'queen' almost from the day we met and it made me giggle.
I know you were sad when i retired and maybe a little anxious but you celebrated with me and gave the best retirement speech.
I was so proud of you. As i sat there beaming at your passion, i thought of our first introduction 28 years earlier. All the things we went thru as co workers, mothers, daughters, wives and as devoted friends. Never did i think that i would be saying goodbye to you in my lifetime,  but here we are saying goodbye and my heart is broken.
There are so many memories and stories that i could have shared.....a few stories that are locked in the vault of our sisterhood! 
When I left the hospital that day, the words would not come to say goodbye. Just 'I love you Gracie'.
So rest my dear friend. I will miss you and still I cant say goodbye. So a toast to you dear Grace. 
Your forever friend and sister and your Queen
Bonnie

Grace , I can still remember our grade 12 year at Marian High , you introduced my husband to me and that year we got together almost every weekend , we had so much fun. You are such a wonderful friend. 
Unfortunately we got separated during university years to different social groups for so many years until recently we are back in contact. I can’t believe our reunion was so short.  
Your smile will always in my heart!
Rest In Peace my dear friend!

"Auld Lang Syne is precious memory"
Goodbye, Old Grace, see you in another space and time.

Another photo with Grace at Granville Island  on July 2016.

Grace was a dear and caring person.
I worked with her at Catalyst and Holmes and Brakel for a number of years.  She was always the first to ask after your wellbeing, and was happiest socializing those she cared about. 
The world is a grayer, sadder place without her in it.
She will be missed.


Grace, when you told me that you are very ill and are approaching the end of your life. The news shocked me as we were still communicating not long ago.
I can't believe you left us so quickly.
Since our childhood, we have so many wonderful memories, watching the "Sound of Music" together; swimming; celebrating our grandmother's birthday; Yum Cha ......
You always give me support and encouragement when I took an exam or find a job. I still remember that in my last year at the University of Hong Kong, you helped me type my paper. In the summer of 2016, on the way to Alaska. I visited your family. You showed me around Vancouver and took care of all my luggage so I could pack lightly for my Cruise. You are always passionate about people. Looking back, I'm glad you and Jessica were with my family during Christmas 2017. 
You will stay in my memory forever,
My wife and I had prayed for your health almost every night since you became ill. Before we see God, we don’t understand it, and we may never understand it. Why doesn't he listen to our prayers? Now you are free from all the pain and burdens on the planet.
Let us have faith that we will have a big reunion in His kingdom!
Wai Lap

Grace,  You’re gone from our sight but never from our hearts.  Rest In Peace.  We’ll meet again someday.

Auntie Grace is one of the most inspiring and hard-working people I know. She hooked me up with my first 'real' job, but most importantly she encouraged me at a young age that I don't have to be afraid to aim higher. This remarkable woman has left a legacy in my life. It's hard to say goodbye right now but I look forward to a big hug in Paradise. To Uncle Peter and Jessica, my deepest condolences. May you soon find the peace that surpasses understanding. 

I had the honor of having Grace in my life even for a short period of time she made a big impact. Brought cheer ,happiness and laughter into the office. Always offering a helping hand and guidance. Will always remember your heart, karaoke and wine sampling! Forever missed.
