My condolences to the Fong family. Though I have never had the pleasure of meeting Lily, knowing the character of Glen, I am sure she was just as lovely and honourable. My prayers are with your family.

Dear Mr. Fong and family. We are very sorry for your loss and are thinking of you. Mrs. Fong was always so kind and warm to all of us every time we saw her, always with a smile, an offer of a delicious meal, and with that great laugh! I know my parents cherished her and your Dad's friendship for five decades starting in Kirkland Lake and Virginiatown and then moving that friendship to the GTA. All of us will miss her very much. Tina, my sons, and my Mom send our condolences and deepest sympathy.

Oh Glen, what can I say. What a shock to receive this terrible terrible news after coming back from from my christmas gathering in Niagara Falls.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
