Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss. 🙏
The kindness and smile of Mrs. Margaret Huong will always be remembered. She was cheerful in the staffroom. I still remembered that we had a joyful dinner with her and a lot of SSGC graduates in Toronto, summer of 2014. She was very happy too. Rest in Peace, Mrs Huong.
I really appreciate Mrs. Huang. She wasn't just a chemistry teacher, she cared for us. I am glad that she is in the arms of our loving Lord.

....... I tend to have trouble controlling my emotions and it will not be pleasant for your mother to see or hear people crying around her. Please just let her know that our whole family love and appreciate her very much, starting from my mother, your Nainai. (grandma)
It's all because she is such a good and tolerant person, and she loves your father so much that she’d put up with us all. We’re truly lucky to have her. I also hope she will be comfortable and pain free.

I'm sad to hear from Cathy that your Mom had left us. My condolence and I hope she didn't suffer too much pain at the end.
Margaret is the best sister we're lucky enough to have. She was generous, tolerant, caring and loyal. She can be a little spacey at times, but that made her all the more lovable. We're all lucky to have her for as long as we've had.

“We were old friends”
Margaret told me many times when I was working as the social worker at Mon Sheong Richmond Hill Long Term Care Centre.
The first time I met Margaret was she came to the Centre for a tour together with her daughter. Because of her hearing ability and in order not to miss any information, she followed me so closely and I was afraid that I would step on her. Margaret asked a lot of questions in details about the operation and services provided in order to find an appropriate placement for her beloved husband, Felix. She already impressed me from the first encounter.
Felix admitted in December 2011 and she moved in a few months after. Margaret compromised her community lifestyle in order to be with Felix. Margaret was a loyal and attentive wife. She always looked for the best interest of Felix and was sensitive to his needs. Felix suffered from dementia, but she did not gave up hope on him, she was consistent to find ways to help to maintain his cognitive functioning. She attended related workshops and kept on stimulating Felix in different ways.
Margaret lived a long and happy life. She has a loving husband and caring daughters and sons. Margaret was cheerful, confident, vibrant and full of life. She never stopped learning. She continued to lead an active life after admitting into the long term care centre. Not only she joined the college alumni with Felix in the community on a regular basis, she read books, sewed, knitted and doing calligraphy. She was also the chair of the Residents Council. Margaret was an inspiration.
It was an honor to know her and be a brief part of her life. I will miss her, but it warms my heart that I have sweet memories of her that I will cherish. May she rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to the family members of Margaret. May you find peace with all the fond memories and Margaret will stay in the hearts forever of those who love her.
Margaret’s old friend,
