So many wonderful memories that I cherish, you are missed beyond words can express.  Extraño sus historias de niñez cuando la maestra la regañaba por las travesuras que cometió.  Sus chistes,  sus consejos siempre fue como una segunda madre para mi.  Until we meet again Tia ❤️

Three years ago this date we lost such an amazing soul.  Our life would never be the same as we once knew it.  

Not a single day passes before us that we don’t remember you and dad with a smile.  Constantly cherishing and remembering moments of our shared life that hasn’t been the same without your presence.

We are eternally grateful for all the life lessons, the simple conversations and your unconditional love.   

We remember you this day, with a heavy heart because you are no longer here by our side, but more grateful than ever that we were blessed to have you and dad be a part of our life story.  

We believe and know our paths will cross once again, and until that time comes, know you are truly missed, always in our hearts and never forgotten.  

Love , 

The Wong Family 

Ron, Celia, Emily, Derick & Ruby 

What can you say about losing the matriarch of your family? How can a person find the right words to describe such an amazing woman? I don't know! 

I do know my world has become a lesser place without her. She knew how to make each of her grandchildren feel special in her own way. She always had advice for any situation, or a home remedy for any sickness. She always took care of me and made sure I was always the first to eat because she knew how much I loved food. She would spoil me with whatever amazing meal my heart desired irregardless of what she was cooking for dinner that night for the rest of her family. I can't count how many times I ate myself into a food Coma at her house.

 One of my most cherished gifts is a blanket she knitted me for Christmas. She was wise enough to know that a gift like that would be a gift I would always have that she made with her own hands, her effort, and her love. She was a special woman. 

I truly enjoyed spending time with my grandma. I could never understand why other people didn't enjoy spending time with their grandmothers the way I did with mine. I am extremely blessed to have had such an amazing grandmother. My grandmother and all her sisters (my great aunts) are exceptional women. I hope we can all learn from all of my aunts so that we may always have a piece of them in our hearts and everyday lives forever.  

Abuelita, I will not say goodbye because I know I will see you again.  I know you are not gone, but instead are watching over us as our guardian angel. I love you grandma! 

Your loving grandson, 
Pedro Sanchez 


Abuelita, toda vía no lo puedo creer. Nada me pudiera preparo por la noticia que dios estaba lista para tener la a la par.  La vamos ha estrañar  mucho  pero siempre vamos a celebrar su vida. Gracias por todas las memorias desde que heramos chicos tú sabías cómo hacernos reír.  Cuando yo tenga niños les hablaré de ti, Rest In Peace abuelita. 

There are too many memories to narrow it down to one moment, but I feel fortunate to have lived my life with the love my grandmother shared with me. She loved bigger than the world and most importantly she was always their for me with a hug and a smile. I love you abuelita. I thank the lord that you were to one he sent to show me the way and I know one day I will be along your side again. 

Querida Tía Celia, mucha tristeza el día que se fue. Tengo muchas memorias con usted, siempre estará en mi corazón.  Te quiero mucho ❤  Descanse en paz Tía. 


What beautiful youthful Celia meant to my family and me... Always funny in her own kind of way! Always had the best comebacks, she could out master anyone with her witty vernacular. She had a sharp sense of fashion and design that was timeless. She was always so accepting of me and my family, no matter who I brought her way! Always willing to open her heart and home to us all. The best cook on earth could never pass up one of her meals! Anytime, I asked her to watch any one of my kids it was always Si, with pleasure! She never said no, even if she was busy. She always made it work! Her family was her heart and life. Celia will be in my heart forever and never forgotten. Our world was a much better place with her in it. She is the epitome of a woman, a role model to all. Love you, Celia!
