Remembering you, mom, on your birthday. Have a great party in heaven!

Dear Mrs Ho, Just thought I should let you know I missed you a lot when I went back to Hong Kong for the 40th reunion of the Class of 1974. Many classmates were there. So were Mrs Chan who taught me Math, Mrs Tong who taught me Biology, and Mrs Fletcher who taught me French. Mother Carla was also present during tea. I couldn't help but think how nice it would be if you could be there. Then I could hear you calling me Alex again. You are sorely missed! Love, Alice

Dear Mrs Ho, You must know I miss you because you came to see me in my dream. You hugged me and said,?????????!?Yes, Mrs Ho, we were all your ugly ducklings. You taught us well and turned each of us into what we are today. Thank you, Mrs  Ho!

"Now God's home is with people! He will live with them, and they shall be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain. The old things have disappeared." Revelation 21:3-4

Mrs. Ho, I forgot whether I did thank you for all you taught us by words and deeds. You were always so gentle, patient, caring, and smart in reading our minds. You were my F.1B class mistress and English teacher in 1970. Despite all these years, I can still remember vividly how you taught us Guided English! I will go on to be "hardworking and serious"- the Remarks you put in my Report Card. Thank you always, Mrs. Ho.

Mrs. Ho was my F.1 math teacher, the best math teacher I ever have. She did not only taught me math. She taught me how to conduct oneself in life, how to be an upright citizen. Thanks for your great gentle guidiance, I can be where I am today. Deepest condolences to the Ho and Kwong families. Mrs. Ho, I'll forever miss you.

Mrs. Ho is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Even though I have not seen her again since 1977, her kindness, patience and great smiles are always on my mind. She is one of my fondest memories of Sacred Heart. May you rest in peace, Mrs. Ho.

I would like to send my condolences to Beatrice and her family. I had very fond memories of Mrs. Ho as she was my F.1 class mistress in Sacred Heart. She was extremely kind and understanding. That’s the impression everyone had of Mrs. Ho.

What I remember of Mrs Ho is her gentle behaviour with colleagues and students, her dedication and love of her pupils, willingness to cooperate and the peace that always she brought in whatever circumstance. May God welcome her in HIS Heart, which is the Sacred Heart she served for many years.  
Sr. Ida

The day that Aunt Helena helped me to get into Sacred Heart Canossian College saw great changes in my life and in the life of my whole family because I was introduced into the Catholic faith.  From then my family members was baptized one by one.  May you, dear Aunt Helena, enjoy heavenly company with my parents and scores of our relatives.  May we also join in prayers, in heaven and on earth.

Mrs. Ho was my F.1 Class mistress, she was the first one to teach us the importance of having friends for life. Mrs. Ho we did it, my best friends from my F.1 A class are like my sisters and we support each other whenever in need. Thank you.   
May your soul rest in peace.

My condolences and prayers go out to all of the Ho and Kwong families at this sad time. Cathy Austin, GTK Press

I would like to express my deepest respect and gratitute to Mrs. Ho.  She has been a very dedicated teacher.  I will never forget how nicely she pronouned  the word "librian" and "February", without omitting the"r"s.  I have kept her invaluable teachings in my mind and will keep her loving face and voice in my heart.  May the angel of the Lord leads her to the green pasture in Heaven!

I always remember Mrs. Ho's patience and love for her students.  Mrs. Ho was my F.1A classmistress and maths teacher.  She influenced us not only by words but she also demonstrated how to lead our life appropriately.  You are always in my prayers.  May God rest your soul in peace and console your family.

Amy Chan (Hong Kong)

Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just remember that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

Ho Auntie had known me even before I was born. Since then, she had been a family friend, teacher as well as piano student. I remember her as the most soft spoken, kind, patient and humble woman as well as the most hard working student. I will surely miss her.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father's house there are many dwelling places.
If there were not, 
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back again and take you to myself,
so that where I am you also may be,
Where I am going, you know the way."
John 14:1-4

My condolences to the family of Mrs Helena Ho.  She was to me Miss Chan in my school days.  I often told friends and my children how she recited English poetry!  She was the best!  I wanted to be able to do the same like her.  I also remember she wore the Chinese maturnity outfits when she was pregnant.  I do remember Mrs Helena Ho.  I wanted to visit her but I did not want to "disturb her."  Now I wish I had "disturbed her"!  I will never be able to see her again.  Just to think of it is very sad indeed.  I will carry my memory of Mrs Ho in my heart.  Good bye Mrs. Ho!

At school, you are a great teacher.  In life, you are such a wonderful lady.  Your face, words and kindness will always be remembered by our Sacred Heartists.  Our love will always be with you and your family.

Mrs. Ho was a very dedicated teacher at SHCC, she had been a teacher of my aunt, my sister and me.  Mrs. Ho was my classmistress in Form 1A teaching me not only Math, but also guiding me to walk through my teenage years.  Now that I'm a mother of two preteen, Mrs. Ho's teachings gave me a great inspiration while I'm bringing up my two daughters.  Mrs. Ho's kind, soft and gentle voice will always echo in my ear.  I will keep Mrs. Ho in my daily prayers, and may she rest in eternal peace with God's grace.

I wish to express my sincere condolences to your family for your loss.  Mrs. Ho taught me "Library" in form 2 and she seemed a very gentle teacher.  Thanks to Mrs. Ho for her dedication in teaching at SHCC.  I'll pray for your family during this difficult time.  Rest in peace, Mrs. Ho.  I'll keep fond memories of her as she demonstrated a life well lived.

Extending our deep and heartfelt sympathy to the family and may her loving memories live forever in our hearts.

Mrs. Ho was my math teacher at Sacred Heart Canossian College in the sixties.  She will always be remembered as an inspiring, fair and caring teacher by all of us.  

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.  May you find peace in God's everlasting love.

It is very sad to learn that Mrs Ho has left us but may we find some consolation in knowing that she is now resting in God's loving arms.

Mrs Ho was my F.1 English teacher.  However what she taught us was not only the academic things, but more importantly she taught us how to be and behave as young ladies.  I can still remember very vividly what she told us we should not do and say as young ladies, and this had a big influence on me.  She was always mild and kind, and never lost her temper though we might not have been an easy group of students to handle.

May God's love heal and console.

Auntie Helena has always been caring and loving .She generously without condition share her love and help to all who needs, She is a successful sample of  a Catholic should be. In Heaven , may she rest in HIS arms, for she has done well.

At a time when words are hard to find, I just want to say that my prayers and thoughts are with you.  May you rest in everlasting peace.

Fond memories of Aunty Helena keep flooding back - I vividly remember my childhood days of long walks with her and cousins Beatrice, Frances & Agnes during school holidays and the study sessions (English & Maths) we had under Helena's guidance, without which I would never be able to have such a previleged live in Australia now.

Student of Mrs Ho

I saw Auntie Ho, my Godmother, for the last time on Thursday, Dec. 23. What stood out in my memories from this cherished last visit was not her frail body nor her difficulties in speech or motion, but her thoughtfulness in making sure that we got our Christmas presents – something that she had done every Christmas for as long as I can remember. As she held on to my hand when we said goodbye, I saw past her weak face and clearly discerned the loving kindness and smile in her eyes, the same eyes through the years regardless of her age or physical condition. How symbolic...to open her last Christmas gift for me and found a heart-shaped pot-holder! She will be dearly missed.

Dear Mrs Ho, This is Alice, but you always used to call me Alex. I've been trying to find you for years, but I guess i was asking around the wrong circle. Now that I finally have news of you, it is too late. I feel so sorry. I am so sad. I've been to school in different countries, but you have always stayed my favorite teacher. This afternoon I was telling my daughter how you patiently drilled me in the negative numbers. You gave me extra homework every day until I finally got it---when I was in Form Two. That was a lot of patience. Thank you, Mrs Ho. I will never forget you. Love, Alice

Dear Mrs. Helena Ho,

Our first impression of you - a gentle but firm, kind and friendly lady - will remain in our hearts.  

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of grief.

Gerald, Bernadette, Augustine & Alison

"Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn people back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, you mortals." A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night...Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:1-4, 12

"Your compassions they fail not, they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness" Lamentations 3:22-23

Mrs. Ho, you will be deeply missed, dearly remembered and fondly treasured in our hearts and minds. 

Your god daughter, Christine Szeto

We are deeply saddened by the passing away of Madam Ho.  May she rest in peace and that the love of God be with her and her family.  Deepest condolences.

Piera and Alfred Wu

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
