Do not quite understand what is at stake.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care.
I still remember when I was young and you came to visit my family and I in New York. We instantly became friends talking about the "New Kids On The Block." Since then, every Christmas you'd spoil me rotten with your generosity and many packaged gifts!I used to look forward to receiving your postcards as you've traveled the world telling me about your adventures. I read them and wanted to travel the world when I grew up as well. Suffice to say, I have as I'm writing and thinking of you from my home in Sydney, Australia. I wish you had to chance to come out here for a visit.You have, and will be, very missed!Love,Tiff
My Aunt Jen was always there to help me with my daughter Tatiyana. She always arranged her schedule so she could spend time with her little Tatiy. She was a second grandmother to her great niece. Auntie Jen always had kind words to comfort me with when I was upset or stressed out. I will miss our talks and her beautiful smile. Rest in Paradise Auntie until we meet again….Your Loving Niece Denise
I missing your simile!
For everyone who knew her, Jen touched their lives with her boundless generosity, warmth, and sense of humor. She genuinely cared about other people, often putting aside her own concerns. If you ever needed helpÃ?¢ââ??‰â?¬Âwhether you were in financial straits, needed someone to talk to when you were down, or were seeking guidance if you werenÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t sure what direction to takeÃ?¢ââ??‰â?¬Âshe was always available and more than willing to give whatever she could. I think what I heard my Auntie Jen say more than anythingÃ?¢ââ??‰â?¬Âand I can hear her voice nowÃ?¢ââ??‰â?¬Âwas, Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?â??Do you need anything?Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã? There was no one else like her. She will be greatly missed, but will always be in her hearts.
My name is Anita (Nina) Green. I am a childhood friend of Denise, Donna, Dina and Darrell Hom. I first met Auntie Jen when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I remember her as a very kind, thoughtful and sweet person. I can remember visiting the home, meeting all of the "Auntie's", and Auntie Jen offering me Chinese Candy and other sweets. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. My deepest condolences go out to the family of Jen Wong. With Sympathy and Love to All,Nina~
Auntie Jen was kind enough to include me in an opportunity to travel to China with her and two wonderful cousins. I immediately saw how gregarious she was because everyone in our tour group started to call her "Auntie." Everyone looked after her as if she was their family because she was so much fun to be around. With all the beautiful photo opportunities, we also discovered many silly photo opps. Auntie Jen was right there with us, the good sport that she was, as we made her do silly things for our photo opp! She thought we were so goofy! Auntie was so easy going and kind to everyone. Her little giggle and smile put everyone in our tour group at ease, feeling like they knew her prior to the trip. I will never forget this trip, Auntie Jen. I enjoyed the time with you, Dina, and Stacey. It was such a privilege to travel with you! In the short stent of our travels, you have left an indelible mark on me with fond memories of you!
What can i say about my Auntie Jen? Well, she is a very caring person who always puts others before herself. I got along with her very well because we both have a good sense of humor and we always made eachother laugh. We had a really special relationship and i'm gunna miss that a lot. My favorite memory with her is going to China because it was a really great expierence and i wouldn't have gone on this once in a lifetime trip without her taking me. I think about her everyday and I thank her for all the great and wonderful things she has done for me. i miss her and love her soo much. I want to be just like her when i grow up, because she is a truly amazing person.
I have been blessed to have so many special memories with my Auntie Jen:) Auntie was a truly amazing woman who always thought of others before herself. I remember when I took her a couple of years ago to Apple Hill. She really loved that place she bought so many apple pies to bring home to give to the family. She enjoyed their pies so much we had to drive up there one more time just to buy more pies. Auntie you have left a wonderful legacy for our family and you always kept us all together. You will truly be missed.Love, Donna
