LUZ ONG It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Luz Santiaguel Ong on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at Seven Oaks General Hospital. She was born in Dasmarinas, Cavite, Philippines on March 4, 1946, the fourth of nine children and the eldest daughter. She is predeceased by parents, Urbano and Marcela, and her brothers, Melchor and Augusto. She is survived by her loving and supportive husband of 36 years, Jaime Ong, her children (and their spouses): Lorelyn (Edwin Zurbano), Joel (Cathy), Jaime Jr. (Aileen), her grandchildren: Leiyah, Andre, Raenan, Christian, and Rhys, her brothers and sisters: Tiquio (Noring), sisters-in-law Janing and Puring, Dee (Onnie), Dora (Efren Ordonez), Unthee (Totie Sico), Nica (Willie Urrutia), and Ading (Dante Genido), and many nieces and nephews in British Columbia, Alberta, California, and Winnipeg, and in-laws, relatives and friends from Philippines and Canada. Throughout her life, she provided guidance and advice and wished only the best for her family and friends. Even during her illness, she was still thinking of what was best for those she cared about instead of herself. She will be greatly missed and forever remembered for all the things she did for us. The family would like to extend a special thank you for the care and compassion shown by Dr. Finlayson, Dr. Dalling, nurses and staff of Unit 6 and 7, 5th floor, at Seven Oaks General Hospital and staff at Health Sciences Centre - Women's Hospital.
