Eulogy
Tekoa Sellars (Friend)
Entered February 12, 2025
We are gathered to remember Christina Wong, who left us far too young.
My name is Tekoa Sellars, and Christina was more than just my best friend. She was my chosen soul sister, my haven, and someone who held a special place in all our hearts.
Before I begin, I want to express my deep gratitude on behalf of her family to each of you for being here today to celebrate Christina’s life. Your presence is a source of great comfort to all of us during this time of sorrow.
Everyone who knew Christina knew she cherished her mother, and they have a lifetime of shared joy. She proudly displayed photos of her adored family, nieces and nephews.
Kiet thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love you gave Christina, and for making her so happy. You had a beautiful love and we are proud of you. You were everything we hoped for in a husband and so much more. Christina truly adored you.
For the rest of my life, I will hold close the twenty years of laughter, memories, and milestones we shared. We journeyed down countless roads together, experienced countless sunsets, sunrises, and campfires. We celebrated each other’s victories and leaned on one another through every challenge. Christina was always our greatest cheerleader.
It’s been said that only those who truly care about you can hear your silence. We understood each other’s silences, and in recent months, I realize that Christina was being a warrior—not just for herself, but for all of us. She had an unwavering hope. She never gave up. She remained strong, fought courageously, and showed all of us the true meaning of resilience until the very end.
Christina inspired us to live fully, to embrace every moment, to be present, and to make every second count. She encouraged us to never shy away from the beauty of life, to face it head-on with an open heart.
Now, many of us are struggling with grief, and it’s hard to imagine a world without her. But Christina wouldn’t want us to stay lost in sorrow. She would want us to honour her by continuing to live as she did—fully and with purpose. In the face of our grief, let us remember her by performing acts of kindness, seeing the good in others, noticing the beauty in the world around us, and showing love in tangible ways.
Christina’s love was never passive. She loved deeply, fiercely, and without reservation. She would want us to live our best lives in her memory, just as she did.
Christina, I’ll see you in the moonlit sky, with the sand beneath my feet and hear the echo of our laughter. I’ll remember your beauty and your light with purpose every day, in every sunset, and every moonlit night.
Her spirit lives on in every life she touched, and in every act of kindness we share with others. Goodbye, my beautiful friend.
Thank you for showing us how to live life to its fullest.
We will forever carry you in our hearts and miss you.
