2016-05-15 01:18:21 View / Comment (0)I send my heartfelt condolences to Yimi's family. I cannot begin to find words to explain how exceptional it was to be friends with Yimi. She was my friend, mentor, biathlon buddy, teammate and so much more. Yimi will forever stay in my heart, wherever I go. She taught me to keep pushing, to never give up. Not one moment with Yimi was spent with regret and I am so thankful that I got the chance to be friends with her. Yimi was a great leader, and always put others needs in front of her own. She was selfless, and a trustworthy friend I could depend on when I needed help. I will never forget the memories I had with Yimi, from Biathlon, to Cadets, to school. My heart goes out to her family as we go through this solemn time. With much love, Eve Sung.

My deepest condolences to Jenny, Sam and Alan. In the several years in which I had the opportunity to know Yimi as one of her many coaches, one thing became clear. Yimi was an absolutely exceptional young girl. A true leader that was able to rise to any challenge set in front of her, all the while providing those around her with a laugh or a smile. As I look back on my time spent coach with the Burnaby Mountain Mantas, I cannot help but be so grateful I had the privilege to work together with Yimi. Her dedication and work ethic made her a not only a role model to her teammates but for myself as well. My love and support to Yimi's family and friends as we go through a difficult time. Sincerely, Kevin Nickerson

I send my sincerest condolences to Yimi's family. To the person who walked beside me... Some things are better left unsaid and kept as seecrets. But I will admit this: I can't say when we truly became friends, but I've looked up to you throughout my years in the cadet program. Some say jealousy is a form of adoration. But I still regret all that time wasted when I could've approached you. I'm so glad we went to Quebec and Alberta together. Those will be trips I will never forget. Thank you for always making sure I was included or not sitting out by myself. Thank you for making an effort to reach out to me. Thank you for admitting being jealous of me as well.

I send my condolences to Jenny, Sam, and Alan during this difficult time. Their courage and strength have influenced many of us. To the little sister I never had: Yimi, I am so exceptionally proud of all the things you have done, from biathlon, swimming, cadets, and academic achievements. I've never met anyone so hard working, willing to participate, went above and beyond, and gave 120% into anything they do. 15 years young and you've accomplished so many incredible things; anyone can agree on that about you. It's so hard to hold back my emotions when thinking about you, but I know if you were here, you'd call me a loser and laugh at how ridiculous I look. Or text me really weird things I don't understand and called me dumb cause I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish you could tell me that over and over again, I'd take that any day from you. You brightened up everyone's day when you walked into the pool. Practice was always a little bit more fun and entertaining when you're around. Our Mantas family will miss that so incredibly much, I hope we can keep your quirky and enthusiastic energy alive within us this season and the rest of our lives. Skiing will never be the same. I'll miss the car rides up to Cypress and joking around at how hideous we smell aprés ski, and telling me to slow down cause you felt lazy and wanted to make snow angels instead. You're always welcome in our household and to catch a ride with us to the mountains. I hope to meet you again at the top of Hollyburn and WOP to talk to you, I'd like to know what God has in store for you. He always has the best plans for the best people. To have coached you and watch you achieve the medals you've earned at races, it's been incredible to see you grow with any sport you participated in. I hope that everyday your family and everyone who knows you makes you proud now that you're watching over us as one of God's children. Thank you for being an inspiration to not only myself, but to everyone around you. Rest in paradise beautiful.

My deepest sympathies to Alan, Jenny and Sam. Yimi was a wonderful person and an outstanding member of the swim club from a young age. I will always remember her for the laughter she brought to every practice, the things she taught me about coaching and connecting with athletes, her incredible drive for success in all that she does, and the memories we shared on and off the pool deck. Yimi, I will never forget in the 2012 summer season when you managed to qualify for provincials in 100 free after two very disappointing swims earlier in the meet. You were bawling inconsolably. I laughed after you told me they were happy tears. I hope you know that is a swimming moment that I carry with me for the rest of my life. In one of the first practices, I remember coming to you and asking you to be a leader in the team. You nodded and said "role model" without hesitation. In truth, you were THE role model of the team, the unquestionable leader by example and by action. You were the kid who led the rest of the group in dryland when everyone else stood idle. You made my job so much easier when I was stumbling through the season with this group of great swimmers. You were such an achiever. You never settled for anything other than your best effort. I remember talking to you about your disappointments after a race, how you lost sleep thinking about a meet the night before, or how you broke down into tears when we told you to have fun with a race. You were always so hard on yourself, but so kind to anyone else around you. You were always able to bring everyone else up, even when you were down. I was proud when you told me how consistent you were with your races at highschool provincials. It was a different mindset that I haven't seen from you before. I regret not being a better coach for you. I regret lacking the experience and knowledge for that 2012 group that you led. I regret not keeping in touch with you over the past year. I regret not being able to tell you how proud I am of the person, the athlete, the student, the cadet that you have grown up to be. I regret not being able to say goodbye to you or to talk about what was on your mind one last time. I have always looked up to you, even when you weren’t as tall as you are now. You were always successful in whatever you did or where ever you went. You always brought a smile and a laugh with you. Where ever I see you next, I hope you’re still have that smile, laugh, and the same goofiness that we know and love.

I first met Yimi when she was as little as 7 when Sam took her to visit us. I told Sam about my jealousy over the fact that he had such a beautiful and light hearted daughter. Following stuck with me when I first heard of it - "everyone’s life is a book. It doesn't matter how thick it is; as long as it's interesting." This is certainly true with Yimi.
