Dear Mom,

Missing you deeply each day and wishing you were still with us to share in the joy and happiness of your growing family. This is the second anniversary of your passing, Mom. Emmy and Talia are getting along so well these days, full of life and happiness. They would have benefitted much from spending more time with you and basking in your love and care. I know you are looking down upon us and enjoying seeing them play and laugh together. We have all been blessed to have you in our lives.

Love,
Brian, Chaai, Emmy and Talia

Matthew 11:28-30 - Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

May God bless your soul and thank you for everything you gave us.

Auntie Bo lived life to it’s fullest. My earliest memories include her travels that included small souvenir gifts and teaching my sisters and cousins the hula. I remember when she married Uncle Guy at Stanford and had given birth to my cousins Andrew and Brian. She was a perfectionist that promoted a healthy diet (with a good dose of aloe vera) and exercise. A devoted Wife, Mother and Grandmother, she raised the boys to not only be successful in their careers, but being kind and caring people. I was fortunate to have been able to visit her one last time. Although her health was diminishing, she kept up her spirit and wit. She brightened up when she saw the dim sum brought, “ooooo!” And managed to eat some. When we Zoomed with my sisters and cousin, she clapped as she listened to ukulele music and waved her hand, in a hula gesture. Although I am saddened of her passing, I am comforted knowing she accomplished everything she wanted to do and left a beautiful legacy for her family and friends. - Love from your Nephew, Darren

Kitty and I will always remember Barbara for her warmth and kindness in shepherding our two families through the children’s musical and sporting events in the early years, presenting Brian and Andrew at musical recitals, and inviting us to Chinese educational and social events after we all became empty-nesters, She was always the “hostess with the mostest” and we will sorely miss her.

Barbara dedicated her life as a wife and mother to creating a warm home environment and raising two active sons. Barbara’s patience and dedication with developing the boy’s life skills are self-evident. Under her guidance the boys just a few to mention, learned the love of books, early key board skills, violin, soccer, debate activities and tennis. Along with challenges of raising a young family, Barbara never failed to have a hot meal waiting for Guy after a long day at the office. She was a supportive helpmate and enthusiastically accompanied Guy to many medical meetings. Our family is deeply saddened by the passing of Barbara and we will forever treasure and remember Barbara’s smile, kindness, generosity, positivity and devotion to family.

Auntie Barbara was a very special woman- a second mother to myself. I spent many summers in her care teaching me values and life skills. So many fond memories, too many to recount here. She treated me like her son giving me the love of a mother. I will always remember her kind spirit and cherish the memories I have had with her. Thank you Auntie Barbara.

BARBARA WAS LIKE MY SISTER BECAUSE I AM AN ONLY CHILD. MY PARENTS WOULD SEND ME TO FAIRFIELD TO LIVE WITH THE FAMILY EVERY SUMMER. I LOVED IT BECAUSE BARBARA WAS THE YOUNGEST AND I WAS ONE YEAR YOUNGER. I GOT TO BE A FARMER SO GOT TO PICK FRUIT AND CUT THE FRUIT. BARBARA DID SO MANY THINGS. SHE BECAME A TEACHER AND I FOLLOWED HER TO SAN JOSE STATE TO BECOME A TEACHER. SHE GOT MARRIED AND I FOLLOWED HOW SHE EDUCATED ANDREW AND BRIAN. SHE WAS SUCH A DEVOTED MOTHER AND NOW HER TWO BOYS ARE SO SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE. BRIAN IS VP AT ALIBABA AND ANDREW IS IS IN CHINA WORKING FOR AN AMERICAN COMPANY. BOTH ARE MARRIED AND HAVE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN. I AM LUCKY TO HAVE MY GRAND CHILDREN, FOUR GOING TO COLLEGE AND ONE A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL.I CAN SAY ONE THING I CAN SAY IS BARBARA WAS ONE SPECIAL PERSON WHO INSPIRED ME TO BE A GOOD TEACHER AND PARENTS TO MY CHILDREN.

I, daughter of Profs. Eugene Chan and Winifred Mao, and my husband Chung Chu Eng were saddened to hear Barbara passed away. What a kind and generous lady your mother was. I still remember that she and your father hosted my mother, my sister Youzhao, and me to stay and rest at your lovely home after my mother’s surgery at NIH from Maryland back to China in 1988. I also remember the joy and fun when I attended several eye meetings and travel with your parents in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing over the past 35 years. Your parents welcomed us when we moved to the Bay Area in 2015. Your mother was an amazing lady, and we are privileged to know her, your father and you. My family, Youzhao and her husband Lezheng Wu will always cherish those memories of your beautiful mother. Our thought and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Ken & I celebrate with joy as we remember the life of Barbara Wong as a dedicated and devoted wife of Brother Guy, a wholly committed mother to her two wonderful sons and families, and as our loving sister-in-law always ready with kind words of encouragement and compassion to us. As long as we can remember we have seen over the years her usual gracious and welcoming demeanor to invite individuals and groups to warm interactions. Recognizing her faith in God through Christ her eternal home is promised and in place as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:8 "to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord." She is greatly missed for now but will meet again in eternity.

"Auntie Bo" was my elegant and glamorous aunt. Her gregarious and lively personality made her the "fun" auntie who would share stories of her travels and many times small souvenirs. She did not shy away from life and its challenges and showed us through her example that it was possible to pursue and achieve one's dreams. She always encouraged us to be more than what we believed we could be and was proud of our achievements as if they were her own. Her sense of humor and verve will be missed- Luciano and I send our heartfelt condolences to Uncle Guy, Andrew, Brian and their families. It is a comfort to know that she will always live in our hearts.

                     Tribute to Auntie Barbara

Auntie Barbara will be forever in our thoughts and hearts. The memories we have of her will last enduringly and never leave us. She had many admirable characteristics, including kindness, generous, loving, affable and caring for others. Auntie Barbara and Uncle Guy were such positive role models.
Always warm and hospitable to my parents and us by inviting our family on trips starting when the boys were young. She gave us honest loving advice and never failed to encourage us in times of challenges with graciousness and patience. Being an example for completing tasks efficiently and effectively helped us to focus. She shared the love of cooking as well as other activities with enthusiasm.
We are praying Uncle Guy, Andrew, Tina, Alex, Elyse, Brian, Chaai, Emerson for family and friends to comfort you, Auntie Barbara's faith and love to uphold you during this time.
The Bible verses we shared together helped build each other in Christ. She expressed her faith in God and we look forward to meeting again in eternity.

With much love,
Sharon and Douglas

On arriving from the east coast to join The Permanente Medical Group, Guy and Barbara welcomed us into the community and into their lives with warmth and generosity, both traits for which they are well known. Over the decades since, we have been privileged to share in many of their family's milestones, always illuminated by Barbara's elegance, wisdom, and kindness. Like so many others, we will miss her dearly.
