Jennifer Wong Obituary
Home, family and church were important to Jennifer Y. Wong. She knew how to have fun, but duty to God and family were what motivated her, said her friend Sandra Mark.
Ms. Wong, 26, worked for Marsh & McLennan, in client services for the risk management division. She and Ms. Mark became fast friends when they met at church in Chinatown seven years ago. "She had a contagious laugh," Ms. Mark said. "She was a Christian, and her whole house was very Christian. She was very active in the church."
She had a brother and a sister, and lived with her parents in Queens. Ms. Mark said her friend's family was extremely private, but they wanted people to know what a dutiful daughter Ms. Wong was. "She knew where she stood in life, and that was pleasing God," Ms. Mark said. "You could tell by her actions. She was always helpful. She didn't have a bad bone in her body. She thought of other people before she thought of herself."

Dear Jennifer,
Although we never met, your story and background are so inspiring. I was honored to receive a scholarship dedicated in your remembrance when I graduated from Townsend Harris High School in 2008. It is amazing to realize how much of our lives are parallel - I, too, am very close with my family and friends and enjoy Broadway nights together. I, too, studied in SUNY Binghamton, and I am currently pursing a degree in Information Systems just like you. We learn new things everday - I just found out that the Memorial Courtyard in the Fine Arts building on campus was created to commemorate you, along with the other precious Binghamton alumni lives who have passed on that tragic day. During my undergrad years at Binghamton, I always found peace and solace in that special courtyard. Little did I know that every time I'd go to the courtyard, it was like our time together. The next time I go back to visit my home away from home, I will think of you. I would have loved to meet you - we could have been colleagues, could have met at a THHS or Bing alumni gathering, and better yet, we would have been good friends. Your kind spirit and loving ways will always live on. God bless to you and your family.

Still remembering you on this day Jennifer! I went to Manhattan 2 years ago after the memorial was opened. I hope to next year visit the street that was named after you.

I heard about Jennifer from one of my friends on Facebook. It is so sad to see such a nice girl get taken away from this world. But I'm sure she is in heaven watching all of her family and friends. She may not be here physically, but her soul and kindness will always be around. She will always be remembered.

I went to elementary school with Jennifer and the last time I saw her was when we were 16.. She lived a few blocks from me growing up.. Hearing her name being read at the tribute in manhattan was very sereal.. I knew she had passed that day but just hearing it for the first time made me sad. She was always happy... Rip old friend

On this day 11 years later I remember the angel that the Lord took home to be with him. Jennifer and I attended Binghamton together and she ALWAYS showed the love of Christ and she will always be remembered for her gentle soul. To Mr. and Mrs. Wong, I know that you are and should be very proud of the woman of God that she was.
Gone from this earth, but with the Father in peace.....

Dear Jennifer,
Although we never met, I do know your Dad and have read numerous tributes dedicated to you. Your kindness, compassion for others and love of God were rare and precious in today's world. During your life, you have obviously contributed more to the goodness of the world than most people have done in much longer lifetimes. We are all very fortunate to have had you with us in this world, even if it was for too brief a time. I know your spirit lives on in all the people you have helped throughout your life.You will be missed but not forgotten.

Dear Jennifer,
Though I never see you before, but I read many stories of you here on net. I'm staying in your hometown- China and I am sure I can meet you someday in Heaven. I am deeply touched by all you have done to the people around you. Now you can rest in Lord with all your virtue.I pay deep sympathy to your family and your friends, and all those who know you. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain--for the former things are passed away.

I met Jennifer when I worked as a peer assistant at the Career Development Center at Binghamton. She was always helpful and a very sweet person. Although our paths crossed in college, I want to express my deepest sympathy and extend my warmest wishes for the Wong family. May God Bless us all.

Dear Jennifer,
I never met you, but Valerie, your staffworker and my wife, said such great things about you and your time together at Binghamton. She told me how much you were doing for the fellowship, for the alumni, etc. I'm sure we would have met, were you still here. Peace, and God be with you.

Although I've lost contact with Jennifer for a many years, I was extremely saddened to learn that she was one of the lives lost in the tragedy. I was not close to her, but I always felt the warm kindness, genuineness and sincerity that exuded from her. I fully believe Jennifer is still continuing her charitable and generous work in ways I cannot explain.
My deepest sympathies go out to Jennifer's family (Ben, Joyce, Michael and Stephanie) and the countless number of people that Jennifer has undoubtedly touched in her brief, but fulfilling lifetime.

To Jennifers family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I spoke to Jennifers' sister the following week on the fon. I work for AT&T and I tried to assist best I could with information that was asked of me.I just wish I could have done more .I was deeply moved by our conversation short as it as . I take real interest in my customers . Jennifer will always be in my heart and prayers as the rest of her family. I would like you to know that I did keep an update on Jennifer to see if there was any way I could help on my end to help her. But unfortunately there was not much I could do. Please accept my apologies and my sincerely prayers and thoughts. I certainly hope that life will get better over time for Jennifers family and friends.

Dearest Jennifer,
I went to Binghamton University with you, remember me? We knew each other from KCF and you were also involved with IV. You also lived with one of my close friends at Hinman. Well, I want to say how much you're missed, and how encouraging your life has been. All my memories of you are filled with smiles, love, and the purest joy I have ever seen.
The other day, I watched a videotape made for your senior class, and your picture came up. I cried. I had heard you were missing the week of 9/11 (I cried then too), but this was the first time I saw you again since college. It was great to see you.
Well, here's goodbye. May the peace of God be with your family and friends, because you are definitely up in heaven with the Lord.
In loving memory of an angel...

I went to college with Jennifer and had several classes with her. We lost touch after graduation, but ran into each other about a year later at a shopping mall. Since then I have thought about her from time to time and wondered how she was doing. It wasn't until a few months ago that I found out about her loss, through some correspondence I received from our school. As soon as I saw her picture, tears came to my eyes. Jennifer was one of the nicest persons I knew at school. She was always there to help when you needed her. We had a marketing computer class together and we were project partners. I don't know how I would have made it through that class without her help. To Jennifer's family and friends, my deepest condolences to you all. You are very lucky to have had such a genuine person in your life. May she rest in peace...

There are no words that can describe the amazing person that Jennifer was to those that knew her. A quiet soul, a gentle voice, and an everlasting presence in the lives that were blessed by just having a little time or moment with her. I went to college with Jennifer. I can not say that I knew her well, but just being around her gentle ways always makes you remember her after all these years. May we find comfort that you are embraced by our Heavenly Father. May our Father comfort the loved ones that miss you every single day, every single second.

To the Wong Family,
I went to Jr. High and High School with Jennifer and will never forget the good times we had together. Jennifer was a great friend and always one of the nicest people at school. I'm heartbroken over her loss and still can't believe what transpired that horrific day.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Although I didn't get to know you until sometime last year, I really saw what an awesome sister in the Lord you were. The few times I spent with you showed me how much you loved the Lord. You went out of your way for people including that one time you drove me home after a joint fellowship at CEMC. The last thing you said to me before my departure to East Asia to do the Lord's work was, "See you next year." I was looking forward to coming back and getting to know you better. But how different are our plans from God's. It is with sadness that I reflect on my short time with you. But it is with joy that I look ahead to the day when I will be with you next the to throne of our loving Father. I can't wait to see you there as you tell me of all the stories I didn't get to hear. Thanks for being a faithful servant and for your heart for the Lord. You definitely have affected many people's lives including mine. See you in heaven, sis!
Your Bro in Christ,
Andrew

I did not know Jennifer, she sounds like a lovely girl and my sympathies are with her family. I am an Australian quilter and have chosen Jennifer as my person to make a memorial block for, I hope her family do not think me presumptuous.

I didn't know Jennifer, but a close friend of mine worked with her and attended her memorial service. Later, my friend showed me the literature that had been printed about her and distributed at her service. I felt a certain bond with Jennifer after reading about her (we both went to the same college), but more importantly I felt a strong sense of loss. I could tell what a special, loving, caring person she was, and I cried not only because she is gone but because I never had the chance to know her.

Our heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to the Wong family. We used to be their neighbors in Bayside, Queens. Jennifer's Mom and Dad are a wonderful, loving couple. We wish them the inner peace and strength to see them through this terrible tragedy. God bless Ben, Joyce and their children.
We hope to see them again someday.

Jennifer was a precious young woman. My daughter is her age, and I can't imagine the grief you, her family, must be going through. Since she was a child of God, I know you find solace in the fact she is in His presence. It does not take away the sorrow, but, because Christ lives, death can have no sting. God bless you all in your grief, and may He remind you daily of the joy Jennifer's life brought to those who met her. She was, indeed, precious!

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
