Dear Michelle and family,

Our sincerest condolences to your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

At the age of 17, I was thinking of going to college in Canada and your parents were so kind to offer me a place to stay. I will never forget your father's kindness and fatherly advices on the importance of education. Please be assured that your father was great man who impacted the lives many and he will be greatly missed.

I hope for you and your family that you will find the strength and courage in these difficult times.

I really feel for you.

Take care.

我們敬愛的父親楊嘉賓因心臟不適已於2020年二月一號，圓滿的走完77年的人生旅程。

我們的父親是一位認真上進, 勤學不輟,從未懈怠的人。爸爸小時候在馬來西亞, 因爲家境的關係, 12 歲就終止學業, 去當學徒養家。 但這並沒有停止他對學習的熱情, 他一邊工作一邊自修, 到後來他不僅熟知各種語言,更在中醫領域上有非凡的成就。

他一生刻苦耐勞, 省吃檢用， 為了就是讓我們家有安穩, 舒適, 前景的生活。爸爸是很有遠見的人, 對教育也非常重視, 不惜送我們出國唸書。因而如此, 讓我們在工作,求學道路上一路順利。

爸爸愛家愛妻, 他話不多, 但總是靜靜地聽我們聊天, 聽到有趣的事, 就會開懷一笑。 雖然行動不便, 也陪我們到處跑。

但這一切都來的太突然, 前一天才血壓低, 隔天就進醫院。很多話還來不及說，很多事來不及做。很遺憾我們不能多盡些孝道。

我們只想告訴爸爸大家都很愛很愛您且想念您！謝謝您！願在遠方的您, 不在受限於行動不便, 一路好走, 我們會好好照顧媽媽的！

It is with great sadness that our beloved father - Stephen Yong, has left us on February 1, 2020 due to heart issue.

Our Dad, Stephen Yong achieved success and respect in many aspects of his life.

Our Dad was a firm believer in education and the value of academics. In his younger life Dad did not have the opportunity to receive higher education. But, throughout his adult life Dad never quit learning; wether mastering his English communications, enjoying his computer, or advancing his Chinese medicine and acupuncture practices. Our Dad always ensured that each of his four children received the best education they deserved. As difficult as it was, Dad and Mom sent their young children far away to school, seeing them only one month per year, as Dad knew it would put us on the path to lifelong happiness and security. Whenever we shared knowledge and achievements with Dad, it always made him proud.

Our Dad was a visionary and never afraid to take on new challenges in life. In 1989, in order to provide a better life for his family, Dad decided to leave everything behind in Malaysia and started our new life here in Canada. This was not an easy journey, but Dad was the anchor of the family, successfully leading us to integrate into the life here and making it our new home. During this journey Dad’s interest and guidance in our lives created many beautiful memories within each of us which we’ll carry in our hearts forever.

Rest in peace Dad. You will be greatly missed.
