LEE
Lan
Sau
By Hoping LI,
Page
A16
Daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother,
and friend. Born November 16, 1917, in Tai Shan, Canton Province,
China. Died March 1 in Toronto of cancer, aged 88.
LEE
Lan
Sau (née
CHAN) was born the second eldest child of a
family of three daughters and two sons.
Lan Sau married
LEE Sing Yen, a businessman from Cuba, in 1935.
Her mother prearranged the marriage. She became the stepmother
of Ignacio, Sing Yen's son from his first marriage. A son, George,
was born in 1936. Their second son was born in 1956 and was named
Sunwah.
Lan Sau and Sing Yen sent George to Canada to study pharmacology
at University of Toronto in the early 1960s, which was considered
truly exceptional at that time in Hong Kong. Lan Sau, Sing Yen,
and Sunwah emigrated to Canada in 1972 after George graduated.
They settled in North Bay, Ontario, where Lan Sau and Sing Yen
owned and operated a small restaurant called Coffee Cup.
In addition to working at Coffee Cup, Lan Sau worked as a dishwasher
and later as a cook at Old Chicago Restaurant in North Bay from
One of Lan Sau's greatest joys in life was being a grandmother.
She doted on her four grandchildren Michael, Norman, Hoping,
and Tin. Affectionate as she was, she never hesitated to discipline
them.
In Lan Sau's later years, she lived in a senior's building in
downtown Toronto where she made many new Friends, and even bumped
into her childhood best friend from Tai Shan, whom she hadn't
seen since the Second World War.
Her life was busy, full of parties and shopping excursions with
Friends and neighbours. She gossiped for hours on the phone with
her best Friends at all hours of the day. She was even known
to talk on the phone at 1 o'clock in the morning!
One of her favourite pastimes was listening to the radio tuned
to the local Chinese station. She enjoyed, much to Hoping and
Tin's dismay whenever they visited her, hearing spooky ghost
stories that were broadcast late at night.
Lan Sau was very conscious about her health. She followed the
food guide strictly and encouraged her family to do the same.
She had herbal remedies for every ailment that her grandchildren
suffered, from asthma to chickenpox. She discouraged Hoping and
Tin from eating junk food, but contradicted herself by buying
them chips and cookies whenever they visited her.
She was an avid exerciser, doing tai chi every morning and taking
walks in the afternoon. She spent her summers in Temagami, Ontario,
where Sunwah and his family lived. She was often seen walking
around town, admiring people's flower gardens and enjoying the
lakefront.
As Lan Sau aged, her Friends and siblings began dying one by
one. She became depressed and often asked why did she have the
good fortune to live longer than they had.
Lan Sau was diagnosed with colon cancer in the summer of 2005.
She had surgery to remove the tumour. The cancer came back in
January of 2006, viciously attacking her kidneys and lungs. She
lost her short but valiant battle with cancer, and passed away
peacefully after lunch with sons Ignacio and George by her side
at the Toronto East General Hospital in March.
Dying with a full stomach, the Chinese say, is a good omen.
Lan Sau was an unselfish mother and grandmother who always put
her family's needs above her own. She gave the best of everything
to her children and grandchildren.
My grandmother lived a simple, but extraordinary life. Her family
will lovingly remember her forever.
Hoping LI is Lan Sau's granddaughter.

Mourning 4 deaths: 'the most horrible thing ever.'
10 people, including visitors from Korea, rode in minivan with
just seven seats
By Michele
HENRY,
Staff
Reporter
Cramming 10 people into a minivan equipped with only seven seats
and seat belts -- was a bad idea, and the family knew it,
says a relative of one of six survivors of a horrific accident
Saturday that claimed the lives of four people.
But HWONG
Tae said his mother,
SONG Misub, who drove the van
with its nine passengers, felt she had no choice. The family
group, on a tour from Korea, was ending a barbecue when one of
them had to leave for work.
HWONG took one of the family's two cars to drive his younger
brother to a part-time job, leaving his mother with one vehicle
and nine passengers.
The 46-year-old mother of two felt she couldn't leave anyone
out after a last-minute decision to take the group on a tour
of Caledon before the family returned to Korea the next day.
"Lots of them had to get into the van," the 21-year-old Etobicoke
man said yesterday.
SONG and her children have driven that route
each year since they immigrated to Toronto from Korea in 2002,
and it was to be a special treat for her parents.
Roughly 21 of
SONG's relatives flew in from Asia on October 3 to
celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of her parents,
SONG
Inwha
and his wife, 76-year-old
LI
Kinoon, who died in the crash.
Yesterday, an emotional
HWONG recalled the tragic sequence of
Saturday's events that killed his grandmother, along with his
13-year-old first cousin,
SONG
Chi
Woo, and two maternal aunts,
SONG
Misuk, 41, and 43-year-old
SONG Mikyung.
With SONG
Misub behind the wheel, her nine relatives piled into
the seven-seat Ford Windstar.
The journey turned tragic around 6: 15 p.m., when the southbound
minivan passed a stop sign and headed through the intersection
of Charleston Sideroad and Mississauga Rd. in Caledon, right
into the path of a westbound tractor-trailer.
Truck driver Keith R.
COULTER, 43, of Joachim, Ontario, was not
injured.
HWONG learned of the crash a half hour later when his mother
called him from her cellphone as she was being taken to hospital
in an ambulance.
"She said she was bleeding, but she was talking okay," he said,
noting that at first, he didn't realize the severity of what
happened.
"I thought it was something small."
HWONG rushed from his home in Etobicoke to Sunnybrook Hospital.
When he arrived, he realized he was wrong. "It was the most horrible
thing ever," he said. "Nobody's okay."
HWONG explained that his three young cousins, who lost their
mothers in the crash, remain in serious condition after being
rushed to the Hospital for Sick Children Saturday evening.
To allow his mother and grandfather a proper recovery, he hasn't
told them yet about the others who have died.
As the only English-speaking member of his family, the task of
dealing with doctors has fallen upon
HWONG.

Mother, 2 children shot dead, father arrested following chase
By Brodie FENLON and Rob
LAMBERTI, Special To The Free Press,
Mon., March 6, 2006
Aurora -- Two young siblings and their mother were found shot
to death in their home yesterday and her recently estranged husband
was arrested following a dramatic high-speed pursuit.
York homicide detectives haven't revealed the identities because
kin haven't been found, but Friends and co-workers identified
the victims as Wendy
LAFLECHE, 41, her son Jesse, 3, and daughter
Victoria, 7.
Wendy LAFLECHE's son from another relationship, Devon
BRISBOURNE,
16, a student at Aurora secondary school, wasn't at home at the
time of the killings. Police had been concerned for his safety
yesterday morning until he was found safe.
A police source said the suspect called police about the slayings
about 6: 50 a.m. and he was spotted in an Chrysler Intrepid, which
he recently bought from a neighbour, at Jane Street and Highway
A pursuit reaching speeds of as much as 170 km/h involving almost
two dozen York and Ontario Provincial Police cruisers ensued
north on Highway 400, where the suspect was allegedly seen waving
a gun out the window.
Police used spike belts to flatten its tires before the car was
boxed in north of Duckworth Street. It appeared the car was peppered
with shotgun pellets.
The suspect wasn't injured and was arrested without incident.
He was taken to York's 1 District on Prospect Street to speak
with homicide detectives.
Charges were not filed against John
LAFLECHE, 40, a former long-haul
trucker, as of yesterday afternoon. He is known to police in
connection with robbery convictions and was last arrested in
1992 for an armed heist of a Vaughan gas station while on parole.
Const. Laurie
PERKS said the suspect is the father of the two
young children and Wendy
LAFLECHE's husband.
The forensic examination of the scene was stalled as detectives
spent most of the day preparing a warrant to enter the two-storey
white clapboard home with green trim.
Official information was scarce yesterday.
"As you can appreciate, it is two children and their mother&hellip
It is just tragic and the officers had a difficult time with
that scene,"
PERKS said.
It's the second incident within four days where young children
were killed in York Region. On Thursday, Renu
ELANGO, 2, and
her three-month-old sister, Movlika, were found dead in their
Markham bathtub with their mother, suffering from self-inflicted
wounds. Sivananthi
ELANGO, 30, is charged with two counts of
first-degree murder.
Wendy LAFLECHE was a hairdresser and assistant manager at First
Choice Haircutters on Bayview Avenue in Aurora, where she worked
for three years.
Amanda ALLEN, the salon's manager and a close friend of
LAFLECHE,
said the victim's husband had moved out of the house at 15407
Yonge St. about a month ago.
"She was a great person. She'd do anything for you," said a shaken
ALLEN.
Grisly New Year
It's been a particularly gruesome new year for domestic violence
in the Greater Toronto Area:
- March 2: The lifeless bodies of three-month-old Movlika
ELANGO
and her two-year-old sister, Renu, were found in a tub with their
mother -- who was also critically injured with self-inflicted
wounds -- at a house in Markham. The mother, Sivananthi
ELANGO,
30, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
- February 9: The partially decapitated bodies of Shao-Sang
LIANG,
38, her daughter, Vivian Yuen-Yee
CHAU, 3, and her son, Ian
CHAU,
five months, were found in the basement of their bungalow near
Victoria Park and Finch avenues.
LIANG's common-law husband,
Huc Minh CHAU, 40, faces three counts of first-degree murder
- February 9: A 31-year-old woman was stabbed twice at a plaza
by the GO station in Ajax. Police credit bystanders with saving
the woman's life. Her estranged spouse, 37, was arrested and
charged with attempted murder. Police would not release his name
in order to protect the victim's identity.
- January 26: Rose
BOROJA, 54, of Markham, was found strangled
in her daughter's Toronto home, where she was babysitting her
two-year-old grand_son. Her husband, Pero
BOROJA, 70, is charged
with second-degree murder.

Mom charged in kids' deaths
First-degree murder count laid after girls found in bathtub
Tamil community leader calls for more counselling programs
By Curtis RUSH and Nicholas
KEUNG,
Staff
Reporters with files
from Bob MITCHELL and the Star Library, Page A2
A 30-year-old Markham woman whose two young daughters were found
dead in the family bathtub Thursday night has been charged with
two counts of first-degree murder.
Sivananthi
ELANGO remains in serious condition in Markham-Stouffville
Hospital with self-inflicted slash wounds to her wrists and throat,
York Regional police said yesterday.
Without giving specifics, Insp. Tony
CUSIMANO said police have
found evidence to support the first-degree charge, which implies
an act committed with planning and deliberation.
Renu ELANGO, 2, and Movlika
ELANGO, 3 months, died Thursday while
their father was out on an errand. Their grandparents, who lived
with the family, had come home, looked for the girls and heard
only silence from the locked en suite bathroom, police sources
said.
They summoned a basement tenant for help breaking in and discovered
a horrific scene -- the mother bloodied, the children thought
to be drowned. The tenant called 911.
CUSIMANO confirmed that paint thinner had been found in the room,
but wouldn't comment on its significance.
He said it was too early to speculate on why the tragedy occurred,
or whether the woman suffered from depression or post-partum
psychosis. The latter, a serious mental health disorder that
can appear after childbirth, has been linked to similar murder-suicide
attempts.
Police say the family arrived from Sri Lanka around 1990. Neighbours
said they had moved into the two-storey Sophia Rd. home, in the
McCowan Rd. and 14th Ave. area, around Christmas.
The incident came less than a month after a Toronto man, Huc
Minh CHAU, 40, was charged in the slaying of his wife, Shao-Feng
LIANG, 38, and their two children. His sister has said she had
tried to get
CHAU committed to a psychiatric facility.
Since 1990, at least 22 children in Toronto alone have been killed
by their mothers, with clinical depression implicated in many
cases. Mental health professionals and community workers say
the social isolation and lack of support felt by immigrant women
may aggravate depression and economic stress that can lead mothers
of any background to take such a terrible step.
"In any culture, there's always the social stigmatization associated
with mental illness. But in some communities, people don't even
have the language and translation (to speak about) mental illnesses,"
said Martha
OCAMPO, of Across Boundaries, a Toronto ethno-racial
mental health centre. "It is particularly difficult for the mothers,
who are afraid that their kids would be taken away from them.
The social expectation that a woman is the caretaker of the household
just doesn't help."
David POOPALAPILLAI of the Canadian Tamil Congress said the community
has been shocked by the tragedy, which follows an incident in
July 2001 in which Jasotha
MAHENDRIRAN was charged in the murders
of her daughter Shyami, 5, and son Sajeev, 3.
"Even though our community is now more established than when
we first came here 20-odd years ago, mental illness and things
like post-partum depression are still very new to the community,"
POOPALAPILLAI said.
"We do need more counselling services. Some people still face
the language barrier and have trouble accessing the mainstream
services. Right now, we still don't have an expert in this health
area in the (Tamil) community."

SPERDAKOS,
Angeline (a.k.a. Coula
LUCAS)
Passed away peacefully on February 10, 2006. Born in Montreal
on March 6, 1920, Coula was the beloved sister of Helen (Eleni)
LIASKOS,
Mariya
CHRISTIDIS and the late Dean and George
SPERDAKOS.
She will be forever cherished by her adoring nieces Anastasia
(Tassie) CAMERON and Diane
GOUZOPOULOS,
Paula and Sophia
SPERDAKOS,
Aurora, Ophelia, Thalia
CHRISTIDIS and nephew Alexander
CHRISIDIS.
Coula was loved by her great-nieces and great-nephews who enjoyed
her unique spirit and interest in them. She is also survived
by her son George
TRAKAS and granddaughter Maggie
TRAKAS and
nieces and nephew. Coula was a wonderful woman, who brought love
and joy to anyone lucky enough to spend time with her. Her sister,
Eleni, knew that better than anyone, and enjoyed a special relationship
with her. Their bonds were not inspired by blood alone. They
loved each other's company and were simply the best of Friends.
They were devoted to each other always. People were easily touched
by Coula's nurturing warmth, impeccable taste and fine beauty.
Her cooking was delicious enough to feed the gods and she graciously
and generously shared it with many. Her nature was to heal and
love people whom she met. She was an attentive listener who offered
guidance without judgment, commiserating with sorrows, diffusing
anger and softening the blows of disappointments. Time spent
with beautiful Coula inevitably left one bolstered with confidence
to move forward. Students at McGill University still remember
her kind and caring ways 30 years after she was a student advisor
there. Those of us who loved her are blessed with incredible
memories of time spent in her company. Coula, you will be remembered,
missed and forever in our hearts.
