In memory of

Lin Kwok高郭蓮夫人

January 28, 1932 -  September 12, 2021

It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we share the news of the passing of Kwok Lin at the Markham Stouffville Hospital on September 12th, 2021 at the age of 89.

Predeceased by her beloved husband, Ko Fook Yiu (高福耀) and late son, Ko Sai Yao (高世友), she is the beloved mother of Louisa & David, Jennie & Raymond, Janet, Simon & Elaine, Liza & Ernie, Judi & Fred, cherished grandmother of Ken, Cecile & Andrew, Wendy & Michael, Celine & Vince, Allison & Tim, Ian, Jacqueline, Sandi, Jasmine, Kelvin and dear great-grandmother to Cameron, Leia, Aidan, and Audrey.

Kwok Lin was born in Guangdong, China on January 28th, 1932. Our mother was filled with immense strength and kindness, devoting her life to raising her six children single-handedly and helping those in need. She was a very determined self-learnt educator, a passionate knitter and most of all, a great cook to her family. She became a Canadian citizen in 1995, living between Hong Kong and Toronto with her children and grandchildren.

Always enjoyed her favourite brandy during dinners, we are sure she is now having a drink in heaven with her family and friends. We are very reluctant to say goodbye to her, but know that she is now at peace and is reunited with Dad and her family in heaven. Her remarkable strength will live on amongst us in generations. Her absence will be felt greatly and she will be dearly missed by her family. Our mother will always be in our hearts, we will always love you.

With unending love from your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, farewell and rest in peace.

*Due to the current Covid-19 gathering restrictions, the funeral service will be attended by immediate family members only and by invitation only. Please take a moment to sign the guest book for the family. Your love and support during these difficult times are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

In our hearts, you will be forever the most beautiful, the strongest and the one who loves all of us so very much.

Now, you have left us, we are all heart-broken. But we also know that you have no more pain or suffering, you can freely move around. You are already in heaven, reunited with Dad, our Uncle and your families again.

We are only parted temporarily, we will see you again. You will forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace…..your son.

奶奶, 我希望妳在天國裏面可以同老爺開開心心地一起,一齊去你哋以前曾經去過的地方, 一齊享受你哋鐘意食的珍饈百味.

奶奶,好多謝妳織比我們的頸巾,我們會唔捨得用,好好保存它們。
我希望妳在天國裏繼續織好靚的頸巾比妳好久無見的家人,比他們分享同樣的溫暖。

嫲嫲,

I write this while cradling my newborn daughter and after putting my toddler to sleep - and in reflection of your life, I am in awe and respect of how you managed to raise six children on your own. I don’t think I ever appreciated this until I became a mother myself. My wonderful dad and aunts are a product of your resolve and parenting - thank you for all that you have done to raise them. Your legacy is reflected in your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and for that I am ever so grateful.

I will always remember our family meals, having after-dinner drinks with you, and your gifts of handmade pajamas. The orange Porsche toy that you gave Cameron recently is one of his favourites - he played with it so much that the headlights have broken off! We will forever treasure it and our memories with you. Rest In Peace and until we meet again.

Love, your granddaughter,
Cecile

嫲嫲,

Thank you for being a loving grandmother to Cecile and I, and great-grandma to Cameron and Audrey.

I will always remember the fun I had meeting you and the rest of the extended family in Hong Kong many years ago. Since then we have enjoyed many more family meals and milestones. I will never forget Cameron giving you a big hug and kiss as a thank you for his beloved orange Porsche toy. He cherishes it and will always remember you for your loving kindness.

Rest in peace until we all meet again on the other side.

Love,
Andrew
