Dear Minh, Huong, & Elizabeth,
I have a few regrets in my life and one of them is not having a chance to meet Catherine when she grew older. I still remember just like yesterday what a wonderful little kid she was when I met her the first time in Toronto. Thanks a lot for sharing with the world Catherine’s photos and videos with her families and friends. How wonderful those memories are that fill in the gap between then and now!
We are so sad to know your sudden loss of Catherine, such a pure soul. We are also relieved and impressed that you have bravely tried to overcome this heart-wrenching pain to do something meaningful and good to others. I am sure Catherine would have been very proud of her family for doing this.
Catherine will always be in our memories.

Carter,
This has been the hardest month of my life. I have tried to keep myself busy, so that I don’t get that spare moment, to cry. I miss you so much, everything seems to remind me of you. Every time i hear a classical song, i think of you. Everytime I sit in class, and seem to be doing fine, suddenly I look at your seat and sorrow fills my soul. Sometimes I still feel your presence. I still hear your unique laugh, I still feel your punches which are your way to show your love , I still imagine those hugs, which i used to scream in pain for, yet now, i would give anything to have just one more time.
Carter I love you so much..we all do.
I miss you so much , but I want you to know.
Us cousins, we know you’re still here with us at every sleepover. We all know that your spirit remains with us always, and that you are happy.We know you’re watching over us..
I love you so much Carter.
My one and only carter.
your cousin,
Alice.
Dear Alice;
I read your note and my heart sank but I just want to let you know that you have done such an outstanding and admirable task to pull your friends together for the Toy Mountain project. I know that Catherine is up there and smiling to all of you. Have a peaceful Christmas and please remember that Catherine is always with us, she’s just not physicially here, but her spirit, her love and her passion will stay with us forever.
Love,
Auntie Lan
Dear Alice,
Tears fill my eyes when I read your notes… We all miss her so much that nothing seems matter much. Yet I am sure that with your love for Catherine and all your dedication, hard works to support the Catherine charity fund, you surely make Catherine and all of us very proud. Like you said, I also believe that Catherine is very happy from where she is now, and always, always watching over us. She sure does not want you to be sad. Her love, her unique curiosity in life will be always with you, with us… Wishing you a peaceful holiday.
Auntie Li
