In memory of

Eliza (Wai-Han) Ho

March 10, 1960 -  October 23, 2024

With deep sorrow and immense sadness, we announce the passing of Eliza Ho, beloved mother to Wayne and loving wife of Daniel Yeung. Eliza passed peacefully at home after a short and courageous battle with ovarian cancer. For close to a year, she faced every chemo, surgery, procedure and appointment with immense determination. She spent her final moments with her Husband, Son and Sister-in Law, Queenie, by her side.

Eliza’s love for her son was her life's heartbeat, her purpose, and her endless joy. A dedicated mother, she poured her strength, compassion, and boundless care into every moment they shared. Wayne was her world, and nothing else mattered. Though we struggle to find words in this time of unimaginable grief, we take solace in knowing the legacy of love, courage, and devotion Eliza leaves behind. Wayne fought tirelessly alongside his mother, attending every appointment and advocating for her care amidst a challenging healthcare environment.

Thank you to Dr. Lillian Gien, Dr. Christine Lau, Dr. Tiffany Ng, Dr. Elizabeth Tolhurst, Dr. Helen Tecklemariam, Dr. Joshua Kosta, Dr. Niren Shetty and especially the many nurses who worked tirelessly to care for Eliza.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the family's preferred charity of choice, Ovarian Cancer Canada or the Children's Aid Foundation of Canada. Links to the tribute websites can be found in the upper right hand corner under "Donations"

A note from Wayne:
Thank you North York General Hospital for taking care of my mom for over 30 years, starting from her pregnancy, through her diagnosis and to the final weeks and days. To the North York Family Health Team, thank you for providing us the best primary care that a patient could ever wish for.

To Sunnybrook's Medical Imaging Department and the Odette Cancer Centre, thank you for everything you've done to support us during this time. Whether we were on our way to chemo, a scan or an appointment, thank you to everyone who cared for us and made us feel like home.

Dearest Eliza,
It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to you. I really can’t let you go! I haven’t said many things to you, but most of all I want to say thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to care about you, chat with you, and be with you in your last days. Eliza, if we are destined, I hope we can be neighbours and confidants again in the next life. Eliza, you will be missed forever!

给我敬愛的 Eliza,
你從來是我心中的善良丶開朗丶關懷、俏皮的小妮子。 這刻心情確實有起伏,伏的是我不捨得你,起的是我堅信你的美德會永遠舆我們長存。 我祝願你去更美好的世界延绩這美。
但笑人生無常,卻信友谊常在。
偉。

Dear Eliza,
收到妳嘅消息,心下沉了好一陣子;認識妳有20幾年,這幾年雖然我們不常常見面,但以往大家的小朋友同一時間長大,有好多機會一齊聚會、打麻雀、燒烤、大食會…. 這些都恍如昨天發生。懷念妳煮的餸菜、美味的自家焗义燒、我食過最好食的Eliza牌鳥結糖…. 願妳在新的國度展開新的旅程、並化身天使繼續守護妳的兒子及丈夫。永遠懷念。
