elevated z2nYf Obituary
elevated z2nYf My honey, Irene Hoi-Nin Yu, was born on January 2, 1945. It is with great sadness and disappointment that I have to announce her passing at Yee Hong Peter K Kwok Hospice, on September 9, 2021.
elevated z2nYf Irene graduated from Mary Knoll High School, and from Hong Kong University with a BA degree in 1967. Then she immigrated to Toronto in 1968. After we met each other and went frequently on dates, we got married on January 6, 1970. What great fortune for me! She had lots of interest in travelling, especially to Europe, so we cruised many times with our friends (e.g., Baltic Sea, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Yangtze River). We also did land tours throughout Eastern, Western, and Southern Europe.
elevated z2nYf Now that you have left us, I have this to say to you:
elevated z2nYf “Having a perfect wife is three generations’ kismet
elevated z2nYf Raising two successful children by far your merit
elevated z2nYf Heartfelt satisfaction by better half’s side
elevated z2nYf Love stronger than gold never wavers like tide
elevated z2nYf When my time comes I will be again by your side
elevated z2nYf As time goes on my love for you will never subside
elevated z2nYf So honey, wish you go comfortably and rest in peace
elevated z2nYf Just don’t forget my honey kiss.”
elevated z2nYf In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in memory of Irene to Yee Hong Community Wellness Foundation. https://www.yeehong.com/foundation/ways-to-give/
