My condolences to the Eng family.I will remember Mary, she was a beautiful person. My prayers go out to all of the family in this sad time.
We were saddened to hear of Mary’s passing. We have fond memories of Mary who was a loving, kind, and gentle woman. She was very proud of her family and was a good friend to all. Our sincere condolences go out to all of you at this difficult time.
Victor,
I went to school with you and Tony. I remember my mom and dad taking me often to your parents’ cafe on Beacon. Your mom was so gentle and kind to me. My heart goes out to you and your family in the loss of your mom. My dad, Harry Tobin ,helped some of your family immigrate and always spoke so highly of your family. He passed away a year ago at the good age of 99.

“I’ll Never Smile Again…” was something Eddy and Jack Tang used to love to sing together. Surely, they are now smiling for an eternity, as Mary now joins them, along with late Auntie Bessie, together in Heaven. Mary will always be remembered as being so kind and ladylike. Ann and Jane, as daughters-in-laws, God’s grace be mantled over you and the kids. Bless you for your love and care for the Eng family.
