Rest in peace mommy. I will miss you very much. You have been so kind to me since we met 3 years ago. You are a great mother and grandmother and thank you for all the delicious food you have prepared for me. You have raised Wayne very well. He has such a good heart and I am sure he has earned this from you. Thank you for making me feel so welcomed in the family and feel like home in Canada.
My dear sweet mom, how do we even begin to process everything that has just happened? You have been the best mom and the best popo we could have asked for. You always put us first, you never asked for much or anything in return and always lived the simple life. You have a golden heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me and our family. I will never be able to put into words what you have taught me and done for me, but forever grateful. In the last 6 months, I know you have been suffering, sometimes very quietly, but you were still determined to put us first. We will miss you dearly. I will cherish all the special memories we have together. Now it’s time to fly high mom. You are our Guardian Angel. You are in heaven with God, koungkoung and popo Wong and no longer physically suffering. You can now rest in peace dear mom. You are forever in our hearts, never forgotten. We will always keep your memory alive and celebrate you! We pray God bless you abundantly and that you are happy in heaven. We will all we reunited one day. Rest in peace mom, I love you forever♥️

We are heart broken to hear of Elizabeth’s passing. Although our interactions with her were short (xmas eve at Karen & Michael’s), Elizabeth always greeted our family with genuine kindness and a warm smile. It was evident she had a strong sense of family and adored her sweet grandchildren. Thank you for sharing the ceremony online. Wayne and Brian’s tributes were heart felt and a beautiful send off to a classy lady.
With caring thoughts from The Parks – Andy, Lisa, Julie, Emily & Samantha.
