elevated 1jyLO Obituary
elevated 1jyLO 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 1jyLO 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 1jyLO Now that you have left us, I have this to say to you:
elevated 1jyLO “Having a perfect wife is three generations’ kismet
elevated 1jyLO Raising two successful children by far your merit
elevated 1jyLO Heartfelt satisfaction by better half’s side
elevated 1jyLO Love stronger than gold never wavers like tide
elevated 1jyLO When my time comes I will be again by your side
elevated 1jyLO As time goes on my love for you will never subside
elevated 1jyLO So honey, wish you go comfortably and rest in peace
elevated 1jyLO Just don’t forget my honey kiss.”
elevated 1jyLO 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/
