Matt, I’m sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.
Dear Matt, I was deeply saddened to hear about your mother's passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
My condolences to you and your family
We are saddened by this news. Hope Matt and family be strong during this difficult time and knowing his Mom’s spirit will always be with them.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Vickie, you are one of the sweetest persons I came across in my life. You will be in our prayers. My sincere condolences to your family.
Dear Eric,
Very saddened to hear of this news.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
From first meeting you at Columbia (Freshman year!) to Software Engineering Lab (Senior year!) and those all-night coding sessions, to attending your wedding with Alex and Jack in 1990 and meeting Vickie, to seeing you and Vickie and your kids at your house in Holmdel with Alex and Jack, such incredible fond memories.
It comes back full circle, because Vickie found your 1984 Yearbook and we were all looking through it in your kitchen!
Vickie was such a cordial, kind, and gentle lady, and I'm sure a truly wonderful wife and mother. She will be greatly missed.
Vickie - It still feels unreal to think that she is no longer with us. When I think back to this past summer—cooking together, talking with each other, and shopping just as we always did—I’m grateful we had those moments. I will always remember her smiles, her warmth, and her kindness.
One of the memories I cherish most is how she always prepared small gifts for our family games during the holiday gatherings. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and it truly showed her caring and generous spirit.
May she rest in peace. My heart is with you and the whole family during this difficult time.
My deepest condolences to Eric and family.
親愛的Eric, 大哥,大嫂, Joana及家人,這是一個悲傷的時刻,也是一個安慰的時刻。悲傷的是我們今世再也看不到Vickie了,再也看不到Vickie那文靜的笑容。讓我們安慰的是,Vickie睡了,安息了,不再有痛苦。聖經說: 神要擦去他們一切的眼淚;不再有死亡,也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛,因為以前的事都過去了。神應許,當神的日子來臨的時候,我們會再看到親愛的Vickie。
我們都知道Vickie很少講話,只知道她默默的相夫教子,充分顯露了臺灣女性的那種堅忍。這樣的畫像,活畫在我們的眼前,是真實的,令人印象深刻的,這樣的印象,一直在提醒我們要思念Vickie真實的生命,這些都是她生命當中所不能磨滅的印記,她雖離我們而去,但是她在地上所帶給她的親戚朋友的印記,將永遠活在我們心中。
聖經希伯来書11章說我們在地上是客旅。這世界不是我們永遠居住的地方,我們每一個人都要離開這個地方,但是回哪裡呢?聖經說我們有一個更美的家鄉,就是在天上的。人生是客旅,但是神應許我們,有一个美好的歸宿為我們預備好了,叫我們不要憂愁,這就是一個很大的安慰。所以,Vickie已經進入天國樂園的所在,聖經說,在基督裡死的人,不是死了,是「睡了」。「睡了」,是指著什麼? 是指著她必定會醒過來,只是因為她現在累了,需要暫時的休息。每個人因著失去親人都會悲傷,但是,讓我們最得安慰的是,將來神再來時,會把我們的親人一同帶來。Vickie與我們現在的分離只是暫時的,我們還會相見。因為,我們是有盼望的人!
我們親愛的Vickie,雖然我們為你流淚、悲傷,但這只是暫時離別的悲傷,终有一天,我們會有再相見的一天。安息吧,Vickie!願您安息在神的懷中!你的最小叔叔 陳煌輝 12/02/2025
Dear Eric, my brother Huang-Sing, my Sister-in-law, and Joana and family, this is a time of sadness and comfort. The sad thing is that we will never see Vickie again in this life, and we will never see Vickie's bright and quiet smile again. But what comforted us was that Vickie is asleep and rest in peace, no more pain. The Bible says: God will wipe away all their tears; There will be no more death, no more sorrow, no more crying, no more pain, because the past is gone. God promises that when God's day comes, we will see dear Vickie again.
We all know that Vickie rarely speaks, which fully demonstrate the perseverance, inheritance of Taiwanese women. Such a portrait, painted in front of us, is real and impressive, and such an impression has always reminded us Vickie's real life, which is an indelible mark, becoming a living testimony. Although she has left us, but the relatives and friends she brought for such culture inheritance will always live in our hearts.
The Bible says that we are strangers and exiles on earth. This world is not a place where we will live forever, each of us will leave this place, but where will we return to? The Bible says we have a more beautiful home, which is in heaven. Life is a journey, but God promises us that a beautiful home is prepared for us, so that we will not be sorrow, which is a great comfort. So, we can now be sure that Vickie has entered the paradise of heaven, where the Bible says that those who die in Christ are not dead, but "asleep." What does "asleep" mean? It means that she will definitely wake up, just because she is tired now and needs a temporary rest. Everyone grieves because of the loss of a loved one, but what comforts us the most is that when God returns, He will bring our loved ones with us. Vickie's separation from us now is only temporary, and we will see each other. Because we are people with hope!
Our dear Vickie, although we shed tears and sorrow for you, this is only the sadness of temporary parting, and one day, we will see each other again.
Rest in peace, dear Vickie!
– Your youngest uncle Huang Huei Chen 12/02/2025
So many memories of Vickie! She was one of the first people I met in high school, and she was my best friend. At your wedding you were a real-life princess! Quiet strength and elegance. I was blessed to reconnect: it felt like old times again! As we talked about everything and nothing—it was wonderful just to sit with you. Your generous and kind spirit always soothed me, grounded me. We laughed over old jokes, shenanigans, the old neighborhood, and caught up about our families and our dogs. My cheeks hurt from smiling/laughing too. You filled my heart, as you do with everyone you meet. Thank you! I miss you, my dear friend! I take comfort that you’re at peace, with Jeter at your side. My family sends our love, prayers and support to your amazing family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Could not have found a nicer neighbor. May she rest in peace. Love, Tom & Jen Bracco

You will be missed, Auntie Vickie. You never lost your cool no matter how obnoxious we all were as kids (and as adults). Your love and warmth will be cherished by all of us and you will carry on in our memories forever.
Auntie Vickie - I will forever cherish all the laughs and the happy memories we shared together. Rest in love
Auntie Vickie— thank you for being such a lovely and caring aunt over the years! You fought well and hard, and I’m very grateful we able to see each other one last time before you left us. You will truly be missed!
Vickie was the best older sister one could have. She was the quiet one. She never flinched with my annoying and bratty disturbances. Instead, she was always so patient and never got angry. This is who she was, kind and tolerant. Vickie probably didn't even realize that I followed in her footsteps from St. Francis prep, NYU college, marrying a Taiwanese man and having two children (one girl and one boy) both 4 years apart. We were the exact mirror of each other's life paths but yet we were so different. Who will I shadow now without her? Eric, you will still be a part of the family so I hope you still come to all the family gatherings and Matthew/Michelle, I am still your auntie and although nothing like your cherished mother, I can be there if you need to talk or need anything. I wish Vickie peace and rest as it's been a long battle and hope we meet again on the other side.
Rest in peace auntie Vickie! We will miss you
Eric and family: very sorry to learn of Vickie’s passing. Please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family. We were heartbroken to hear this sad news.
Vickie, I'm thinking of you and the incredible memories we shared. Our trips, vacations, and family gatherings were always filled with laughter, love, and adventure. Who could forget the board game nights and bingo wins? Of course the winning prizes(the ones you prepare are always so beautifully wrapped and decorated). You brought so much joy to our lives, and you'll be deeply missed. Rest in peace, dear Vickie! Your memory will live on in our hearts.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Dear Eric, my deepest condolences! It is unimaginable to loose Vickie.
Vickie and I worked together for several years and kept in touch ever since (over more than 20 years), despite being separated by borders and long distance.
I will always cherish Vickie’s friendship. The smell of basil and the taste of tomatoes from her garden still linger; it seems to be just yesterday. Her sunny disposition brought joy to every conversation. She was so positive, even at the worst of times; one would not have known that she was going through so much when she joked about issues with smiles.
Vickie and I talked about our latest travels and travel plans. I am so glad that she was able to take the Mediterranean cruise that she had aways wanted to. And, yes, Vickie, you will always continue to travel!
Vickie will always have a place in my heart.
I am so sorry not to be able to spend more time with you. I will miss you.

I will miss Auntie Vickie with all of my heart. It is deeply saddening that her life was shorter than we all wanted, but despite that it was full of love and memories. She was strong and caring, always bringing a smile to my face. The memories we made together will never be forgotten and I will cherish them for the rest of my life. May Auntie Vickie rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to Vickie’s beloved family — Eric, Michelle, and Matthew — as well as to her parents, sister, and extended family.
Vickie was a dear friend and coworker. We knew each other for over 25 years, and in those early days when we worked together, our many shared interests brought us close. I will never forget the times we would sneak out during our lunch hours to go shopping — you always knew where to find the best deals. We had so much fun planning our kids’ activities and birthdays, and shopping for clothes and toys.
I will miss you deeply, Vickie. I will miss your gentle smile and soft voice, and the greeting cards you sent me every year with your beautiful family photos. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
Dear Eric and Family,
Our deepest sympathy goes to your family for your loss. Rest in peace.
I will always remember Auntie Vickie's warmth and generosity, she was so incredibly kind and caring and I am saddened at hearing the loss of such a kind soul. I still remember when we were all playing Blank Slate and she had the same answer as me and we both lit up and high fived each other. Though it's a small memory, it gave me a real sense of connection that I will always cherish. Her kindness will forever continue to make an impact in my life.
It’s only been a few days, and it still feels unreal that Vickie is no longer with us. I know it will take time, because Vickie has been part of our family since the late 80’s when Eric first dated her. We had countless get-togethers, and I always imagined we would grow old together, traveling more, sharing stories, taking out dogs on long walks, and laughing about the aches and pains of getting older.
Just last month, the four of us spent 13 days together on a Viking cruise through six Mediterranean countries. Vickie wasn’t feeling her best, but she wanted that trip; it was her idea, and it felt like a gift. I’m so grateful for the meals, the explorations, and the quiet moments we shared. My favorite memory of her from that trip is seeing her light up during the ship’s musical shows, especially ABBA. She stood and danced and smiled, chatting with the performers afterward, for a moment, she looked like her old self again. That’s how I’ll remember her.
Vickie loved her family. She loved planning trips, being together, and creating things with her hands. She had a gift for crafting, knitting, pottery painting, and so much more. She also loved Broadway and musical shows and movies. And she had magic touch with plants; whether indoors or in the garden, everything she touched seemed to flourish.
She loved her pets like family, first her cats Cleo and Mindy, later her sweet husky Jeter who stayed by her side for more than 14 years, and then Eevee, her Pomsky who brought her comfort and joy over the past two years when battling cancer. She even became an enthusiastic Pokémon Go player, I think at first just to join the family fun, but soon because she truly enjoyed it. And her Gordon Ramsay impressions from Hell’s Kitchen really cracked us up.
When I think of Vickie, I will remember her as gentle, loving, fun, creative, and thoughtful, someone who brought warmth into a room. Someone who loved her family and friends, her animals, and the everyday joys of life.
A life shorter than we wanted, but full, meaningful, and shared with those she loved.
Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord and
let Perpetual Light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace.
Amen.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.
Amen.
It was heartbreaking to hear the sad news that Vickie is no more with us. I worked with Vickie at Sparta Systems . Her love for indoor plants and knitting/crochet was amazing. I still have the Ficus plants at my house where she potted and gave it to me. I remember she used to send me birthday wishes until two years back.. I never imagined that she would leave us so early.. My condolences to the entire family for your loss.

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Auntie Vickie, who touched so many of our lives with her warm and generous spirit. I will always remember her as an avid Pokémon GO player. She reached the max level, caught countless rare Pokémon, and proudly showed them off to us! We never stood a chance, as she always seemed to find more rare Pokémon than the rest of us combined. Yet she was never selfish. She always thought of us and traded her rare Pokémon to share the fun and spread the love.
She was also the devoted mother of Cleo, Jeter, and Eevee, whom she cherished equally and wholeheartedly. And of course, no family Bingo night was complete without the amazing prizes she brought. Auntie Vickie truly made everything more special.
She will be deeply missed and will forever remain in our hearts.
Love,
Michael and Sophie

We will always remember her and miss her forever.

She was such a kind person and talented knitter. This is the sweater Vickie knitted for our son 33 years ago when he was born. We treasure it!
She was so talented and kind. This is the sweater she knitted for our son when he was born 33 years ago! Thank you Vickie. We treasure it!
I first met Vickie in 2007 when I joined Sparta Systems, and had the privilege of working closely with her. She was incredibly smart, kind, and gentle and a truly thoughtful and caring person who was deeply dedicated to her work. It’s heartbreaking to know she is no longer with us.
May her soul RIP. 🙏
Please accept our deepest condolences and prayers. We are so saddened to hear the news. Vickie was such a kind and gentle person.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Our hearts are heavy as we mourn with your family the passing of dear Vickie. We will cherish those memories in high school when we started Asian Society with just a handful of us, toured the city together including Asia Society and sharing meals in Chinatown. We hold dear the beautiful blending of our families over dinners in Orlando and the golf outings at Otterkill. We will miss your gentle joy and laughter. We will miss you dearly, always.

Very sad when I got the news. Even though we did not stay in touch, I always remember Vickie as a warm and friendly person with a very soft voice in high school. Rest in peace.
Deepest condolences to Vickie's beloved family - her husband, children, parents and sister, as well as her extended family.
It's hard to believe that Vickie and I have known each other for over 45 years - I'm grateful for our enduring friendship. I have countless memories of our times together in our younger years - hanging out every day during high school as well as fun times together away from school. I remember how lovely she looked in her prom dress and especially on her wedding day. I was honored to be her bridesmaid.
My mom has passed, but my dad remembers Vickie well and is very sad that she is no longer with us. He remembers that we were constantly giggling when we were together.
Vickie was the sweetest and gentlest of friends. We met when we were so young, our friendship was so pure and is irreplaceable. She will always be in my memories and prayers.

Vickie was a dear friend and coworker. Her kindness was constant, and I always looked forward to seeing her warm smile at work. I will always treasure the knitted sweater and blanket she made for my children. Those gifts remind me of just how thoughtful and special she truly was. I will miss her deeply. My sincere condolences to the entire family.
Bless Vicky as she makes this final journey.

When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know
Eric and Family - Very sorry to learn of Vickie's passing. Please accept my deepest condolences.
When I think of Vickie, I see her clearly in my mind — her slim figure, her slightly hunched shoulders, her soft gentle voice, and the sweet smile she always carried. I can even picture the little frown she made with the food she disliked. Those small things stay with me.
Vickie was a wonderful listener — warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She had a way of striking up conversations effortlessly, especially with neighbors during her daily walks with her beloved Jeter, and later with Eevee. She loved collecting coupons, store reward points and always knew the best deals. Going shopping with her was always a fun adventure.
She loved Broadway and musical performances. I’ll never forget the time when we were on cruise ship (October 2025) we stood up from our chairs and danced to an ABBA song. For a moment, it was as if her pain faded away – she felt free, bright and just like her old self again. She was also endlessly creative — always crafting, knitting, and making beautiful things with her hands. She was practically a regular at the local pottery studio. We would sit side by side working on our projects, talking about music, our kids, our families, her friends, her colleagues, and the scarves and tiny baby sweaters she still needed to finish. Those simple moments were everything.
To me, Vickie was the best sister-in-law I could ever ask for — fun to be with, thoughtful, considerate and full of quiet warmth. She was a loving mother, a devoted wife, a caring daughter and someone who always thought of others before herself.
Vickie — I will miss you deeply. I wish we could have grown old together, still talking about our children, watching our grandchildren grow, sharing our aches and pains, and creating more crafts side by side. Someone recently reminded me that this goodbye is not forever — just for now. One day, we will meet again, and we’ll have all the time in the world to catch up.
With love, always
Vickie sure was a bright light. We have had so much fun together with all of our families whenever we were together since our kids were toddlers. Her presence will definitely be missed at future gatherings and trips to the board way shows. Sending love and condolences to Eric, Michelle, Matt and the entire family during this tough time. May she rest in peace!
Condolences to the Hwang family. Deeply sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
