In memory of

Ah Jin Chig 戚愛珍女士

July 25, 1929 -  July 28, 2023

In Loving Memory of our dearest mother.

Passed away peacefully at Sunnybrook Hospital Palliative Care Unit at the age of 94. Beloved wife of Lau-Kum WONG (predeceased 2022); cherished mother of Pui-Ying, Lui-Ying, Albert (Agnes), Della, and Thomas (Cindy); loving grandmother of Patrick, Amanda (Curtis), Ronald, and Natalie (Jason); proud great grandmother of James and Joshua. Born in Shanghai, China, July 25, 1929, moved to Canton in her late teens, married the love of her life, Lau-Kum, at the age of 20, and then later moved to Hong Kong.

She was an intelligent, meticulous, determined self-learner. She learned Cantonese, knitting and sewing while raising her young family of five children. Immigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada in year 1991. Always presented herself elegantly, soft spoken and passionate to others. Loved cooking, knitting, travelling, and gardening. She devoted her entire life to her family and was loved by all who knew her. She taught us all what is important in life – to love, support and care for family and friends. Her presence brought laughter and warmth to our lives.

She will be greatly missed and never to be forgotten by her family, many nieces, nephews and lifelong friends in Canada, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Thank you, dear mother, for all you have given us and the precious journey of this lifetime together. We are honored to have been your children.

A woman with a loving soul and kindness.
Her warm gestures always warm my heart and feel comfortable around her. I miss her dearly with an aching heart.
I know she is happy now in peace to be uniting with her loving husband and my mum her best friend in heaven.
Love

媽咪(我的奶奶),請原諒我用這個方式與你拜別。

媽咪,戚愛珍女士,是一位讓人尊敬的好母親、好妻子。媽咪美麗善良,處事待人明理豁達、聰明堅強而又悟性高啲性格一直都是我的好榜樣,刻印在我心中。
我是廣東人,記得當年我還未嫁入黄家,一次和媽咪討論一件物品的價值時,她用上海話說了一句”棟D佛斯棟D”(即鈔票不是鈔票),我馬上就聽明白了😂⋯⋯這是第一句我馬上完全聽得明白的上海話,上海話真可愛,及後亦結下我和丈夫 Thomas在上海生活、工作的緣份。
我每次見到媽咪,佢永遠都是笑呵呵的叫著我,Cindy 呀⋯⋯Cindy呀! 上年孫女Natalie 結婚,她忙着與我在房間挑選出席婚禮的衣服,這一切還瀝瀝在目。媽咪痛錫我,愛我。她對五個子女及至孫兒女,更加痛錫有加。記得大孫女Amanda在英國出世後,暫由老爺奶奶在香港照顧,媽咪就每日忙于給Amanda喂飯,編織毛衣給她穿。媽咪的女紅尤其出色!
家中有客人到,媽咪一定在厨房忙碌做菜,熱情地叫客人多吃、多吃。說到做菜,眾人皆知媽咪煮得一手好菜。而我,更愛看媽咪做菜。記得初嫁入黄家,每次她在厨房做菜,我總愛站在爐頭旁邊看着她怎樣做,例如我最愛吃的魚頭粉皮湯,而Thomas又會靜雞雞地問我「學識未?」我笑笑點頭!
又記得上年在多倫多家中,媽咪行動已很緩慢,身體亦需要大量休息,有一天中午時分,我在煮糖水,她正要上房間午睡,行過我身邊,掉了一句話給我:“不要再加水了!”,真的什麼事情也逃不過媽咪的法眼😅,她真的超級精靈可愛。
媽咪,感謝有你陪伴的日子,留給我們那麼多珍貴美好的回憶,日後的歲月𥚃我們只能在這些回憶𥚃與你重聚……
愛你,想念你,千言萬語在心中,今日淚流千行,哭泣與你拜別🙇🏻‍♀️!若有來生,希望你我再度相遇相愛…..永遠愛你的兒媳婦 Cindy❤️
