Anip Lam (林淑儀), 56, of Hong Kong, passed away on February 23, 2019. She had been fighting off leukaemia since September of 2017 and had been very brave and strong throughout this journey. Unfortunately near the end, she developed many infections in her blood, lungs and heart. She was put into dialysis due to kidney failure. During her last moments, she was sedated when her blood pressure and heart rate started to drop. She had a peaceful passing and did not feel any pain.

She was born to the late Lam Sze (林四) and Chan Kwan (陳群) on November 7, 1963 in Hong Kong. During her time in Hong Kong she made clothes for a living and stayed in many different parts of the city with her cousins. She loved spending time with her family and enjoying festive seasons such as Lunar New Year and going out with her two sisters and friends on trips around Asia.

In 1990, she decided to leave her home of Hong Kong and join her then boyfriend Albert Yau (邱漢明) to begin a new life in Toronto, Canada. In the same year of 1990 they decided to get married and start a family together. We are able to see Anip’s spirit and teachings live on through her two children, Connie Yau (邱康婷) and Andre Yau (邱卓宏), of Markham. She was a fair and just woman that always taught her children the importance of equality despite gender and age; and to always be selfless and help those in need.

She was a firm believer of the Golden Rule - to treat others the way that you would want to be treated. She would always ask her children “What if it was the other way around? How would you feel if someone did that to you? Life is a multiway street that goes both ways, if you treat someone like that they could easily do the same to you.” She wanted to foster an environment that was filled with love and support for all those around her and raise her children to be understanding and considerate of others.

Anip always loved creating, whether that be through the culinary arts and exploring new recipes, or using her sewing machine to make new clothes for her children and house hold items. She was so gifted that when her daughter was a child, she even wanted Anip to make her wedding dress for her when the day came! She would constantly find new uses for recyclable items to create a more environmentally friendly home.

Desserts, cakes, sweets, macarons and DURIAN were her all time favourite foods! She would constantly long to go for high tea where she can relax with a cup of rose tea while enjoying a slice of cake or read a book. There was even a point in time where she was obsessed with making homemade cheesecake because she had just learnt the recipe. If there’s ever a cooking show on tv, you can be sure that Anip was watching it!

Anip enjoyed hosting gatherings and welcoming people to her humble home. She always though that although her house isn’t that grand or tidy or pretty, as long as we’re all gathered together and happy then it was enough. She would always worry about pleasing her family and friends, so much so that she would say that its ok to put in more effort/money/time/love as long as it made someone else’s day a little better. If it was possible for her to go that extra mile for someone, she would think ‘why not?’

Although she has passed, her loving memories continue to live on. There will be a one day viewing on Saturday March 23, 2019 at Elgin Mills Funeral Centre. The visitation will be from 9:00am - 10:00am. The funeral will take place from 10:00am - 11:00am and the witnessing will be 11:00am - 11:30am. There will be the burning of traditional yellow incense that visitors are welcomed to partake in to pay their respects if they feel comfortable to do so. Shortly after the funeral, we will be having a Consolation Feast at 12pm at Mandarin Restaurant. Please RSVP whether or not you will be able to attend the funeral and luncheon at your earliest convenience to a member of the family.

邱林淑儀女士於二零一九年二月二十三日病逝於西乃山醫院，在二零一七年九月確診患白血病，她一直非常勇敢和堅強地對抗病魔。不幸的是，她的血液，肺部和心臟都受到感染。由於腎功能衰竭, 她要接受洗腎治療，她的血壓和心跳開始下降時，她被注射鎮靜劑。最終她平靜地過世，並沒有感到任何痛苦。

她於一九六三年十一月七日由林四(Lam Sze)和陳群(Chan Kwan)在香港所生。她是長女，肩負着照顧兩位妹妹的責任。在香港生活期間，她以縫紉賺取生計，並曾經與她的表兄弟姊妹在香港的不同地區居住。她喜歡和家人共渡時光，尤其在不同節日與農曆新年，她亦特別享受與她的兩位妹妹和朋友去旅行。

一九九零年，她決定離開她在香港的家，並與她當時的男友邱漢明 (Albert）一同在加拿大多倫多開始新的生活。同年，他們決定結婚並一起建立一個家庭。通過她的兩個孩子，邱康婷(Connie)和邱卓宏(Andre)，我們能夠看到她的精神和教導。她是一個公平公正的女人，不管性別和年齡，她總是教她的孩子平等的重要性;永遠無私，幫助有需要的人。

公平及分享就是她的左右銘。
她時常教康婷（Connie)和卓宏（Andre)做人、處事都要公平，不會偏𥘵任何一方。分享更是她的原則，在合理的情況下，姑勿論做家務，又或者美食當前，都會甘苦與共！

Anip總是喜歡創作，無論是通過烹飪藝術和探索新的食譜，她還用自己的專長用縫紉機為康婷(Connie)和卓宏(Andre)做新衣服和家居用品製作。她非常有天賦，當Connie還是孩童時，康婷(Connie)甚至希望媽媽能在自己出嫁時為她做婚紗禮服！她會不斷尋找可回收物品的新用途，以創造一個更環保的家

甜點，蛋糕，糖果，馬卡龍(macarons)和榴槤(DURIAN)是她最喜歡的食物！她經常渴望去喝下午茶，享用一杯玫瑰茶，同時品嚐一件美味的蛋糕或閲讀烹飪書和報章雜誌，放鬆自己。甚至有一段時間，她找到芝士蛋糕的食譜後，她迷上了自製的芝士蛋糕。如果電視上有烹飪節目，你可以肯定Anip會在靜心欣賞！

Anip喜歡舉辦聚會，並歡迎人們到她簡陋的家中。雖然她的房子不是那麼宏偉，整潔或漂亮，但只要大家開心地聚集一起，那就足夠了。她總是顧及家人和朋友的感受，只要家人和朋友開心，她不會計較付出更多的精力/金錢/時間/愛。若然她能力所及而可以令更多人開心，她會毫不猶豫地說：“WHY NOT？”

雖然她已經過去了，但她的美好回憶仍然繼續存在。
二零一九年三月二十三日星期六在Elgin Mills Funeral Centre舉殯。時間為上午九點至上午十點。葬禮將於上午十點至十一點舉行，見證時間為上午十一點至十一點半。葬禮後，我們將在中午十二點敬備纓紅宴。地點有待安排。請儘早回覆，以便家人安排。
