It has been a decade, but feels like yesterday. We miss you, miss your lovely smile, your generous kindness, your dedication to the things you love.  

No longer in our life to share, but in your hearts, you are always there.

Dear, 
Happy Birthday! Missed you more year after year!

May the celestial angels sing Happy Birthday for you!

It’s sunny today. Just like the day you came to this world.

It’s sunny today, just like the day you came to this world.

We were together in the best days of our lives. You will always be young in my heart, in my dreams. 

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it. Another year, another wet and dark Vancouver winter day.... 

The song is ended but the melody lingers on.

Greetings from far away, you are still here with us. Happy Birthday!

You may be gone from my sight, but you are never gone from my heart - Happy Chinese New Year! 


I know you never go away, you are here with us every day. 
Happy Birthday!

No longer in our life to share,
but in our hearts, 
you're always there.

And while she lies in peaceful sleep
Her memory we shall always keep.

You are still here, never leave. Miss you! 

Cannot forget, tried. It does not mean too much, but maybe. Again, happy birthday!

One more year.  Hope you are doing well. It does not matter where you live. As long as life is peaceful and happy.

Happy birthday! You are still there, that is all I believe.

Dear Zuohong,

I remember you when I woke up in this quiet early morning. I remember you dancing with smile like a shining star in the sky. I remember you just like yesterday...

Dear Zuohong, what a shock to here of your passing. And I still cannot believe that you are not with us anymore. It is felt just like yesterday we studying in the library, walking in Stanley Park, play bedminton, exchanging tricks when facing the camera... It is my pleasure to be a friend with you. You are such a gentle but strong woman, and your beautiful and optimistic smile will always be remembered. Thank you for all the kindness you have brought to us.

Yang Huaiyu, may all the memories help you through the most difficult time and days ahead.

Sincere condolences to the family of Mrs Zuohong who passed away at such an early age. Dear Zuohong, may you rest in peace.   Sizhen  Peng, Beijing, China

Zuohong, we were blessed to have you as a friend and co-worker. 

It was such a pleasure to have you around for work, lunches, dinners, karaoke and shopping trips. Thank you for picking that yellow designer dress for me at The Bay. I got a lot of compliments every time I wore it.   

R.I.P. my friend, our prayers and condolence to Kevin and the Geng family.

Words cannot even begin to express my sorrow, I still feel hard to accept the loss of our dear Zuohong ….. 

Zuohong, my memory keeps flying back to the cheerful moment of running into you in UBC, the moment we chatted and laughed together, your kind and tender voice …… Zuohong, you are still alive in our hearts and minds, you never truly leave us. 

Kevin, please accept my heartfelt condolences, she will not be forgotten.

To Zuhong's Family:

I am 'stunned' to hear this sad news. I can still remember when Zuohong came into our graduate program, when I was Environmental Group leader and adviser. She impressed me immediately, with her quiet sense of dignity, elegance and enthusiasm for the difficult program ahead,I was very happy to welcome her and  she never let any of us down in the 4-5 years she was with us. 

The world has lost someone 'special'...my deepest sympathies to her family and close friends.

Me deepest condolences to Kevin and Zuohong's family.. I was saddened to hear that Zuohong has left us.  Please cherish your many good memories of Zuohong.  I fondly remember Zuohong as being a poite and and happy person.  We had many enjoyable coffees together as colleagues.  She will be missed.

The shocked news reached us in a chilly winter. We have lost our best friend Zuohong Geng forever. Although we have learned that Zuohong was very sick for days and kept track of Zuohong's health condition, at this moment, we still could not help bursting into tears and our hearts started bleeding. We know Zuohong, the angel with beauty and talent, rest in peace in heaven now. And we want to say, Zuohong, the beautiful days that we spent together in London dwells in our memory forever, and you will always be  in our hearts wherever you are. We pray that Kevin (Huaiyu) would have wisdom and strength to spend the difficult time.

First time we met you, was in a Summer.
We so liked you - elegant, calm, kind and bright.
Second time we met you, was in a Summer.
You were the same - elegant, calm, kind and bright.
Hard to believe it was your last Summer!
Though your life was short,
It was fulfilled with love and happiness
Rest in peace, you will be remembered!

Zuo Hong, it is hard to express our sadness to lose you as one of our best friends. Your smile, courage and calmness will be remembered in our hearts. It is unforgettable to have a trip with you, Kevin and other friends to the Golden Ears, have Dim Sum together and make Jiao Zi at your home, even when you announced your sickness to us last year. You look soft from your appearance, but strong in your mind. We will miss you!

Kevin, you have our deepest condolences. Our support will be here for you!

Zuohong:
 
These days, I have many vivid images in my mind: a beautiful autumn day at Burnaby Lake, you dressed in purple, walking a cute sled dog from BCSPCA; I followed you, pushing a stroller with my daughter in it.
 
I really enjoyed our conversations during those walks. Thanks for sharing with me your passion in cuisine arts, animals, and travel, and many other life stories, which I find very inspiring. I wish we had done it more.
 
It must be another beautiful day in paradise. Rest in peace my friend, and let the healing begin.

Zuohong, my dear friend and colleague, it is still hard for me to believe that you will never come back to office and have coffee with us again. Your smile, elegance, love, dedication to work, positive attitude and passion to life will always be remembered in my heart. Wish you peace in heaven. YI LU ZOU HAO!

My deepest condolences to Zuohong's family on this tragic loss. I had the pleasure of working with Zuohong on several files and will miss her.
Rest in peace.

My first impression was an elegant, calm, quiet but very bright girl. I was right. As an essential part of the technical team, you showed us your positive, constructive and self-directed attitude. You also displayed professional work habits at all time. I will miss you, Dr. Geng.

My dear friend, Zuohong, I know you are with God in heaven, and you will always be with us in our hearts.   The fond memories will bring you alive whenever we think about you. You are such an intelligent, strong and cheering soul that inspires others around you. You faced challenges with smile, confident and dignity. You earned our respect and friendship. You had a fulfilled and spectacular life, love and be loved, with no regret.
You have been a true friend of mine since the time we studied at UBC. Those live pictures will never fade… in the library, at our gathering, playing poker with Kevin and Frank after midnight, chatting for hours about life and career... We will miss you. Hope one day we will meet you in heaven.

Kevin, May memories help you through the sorrow, and our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Kathy Zhang, Frank Zhan & Family
