Dear  Bac Long,
Reminiscing about you fills my heart with respect, joy and sorrow. RESPECT for the way you lived your life, JOY to have known you and SORROW that you had gone away. Your compassion,generosity and zest for life had made indelible marks on my life’s perspectives.
I will never forget the time you took me to a cardiologist,waited through the whole consultation and treated to a bowl of noodles afterwards. Subsequently you provided me with medications you gathered from your friends. Whenever I tried to show my gratitude you gently dismissed me with your customary radiant and humble smiles . That was when I realized the depth of your love for others . Loving your loved ones made you good,but loving everyone else made you great.
If by chance people were to ask me how you passed away, I would tell them “how you lived !”
Farewell BAC LONG ! Rest well in Heaven!
                                                                                                 Forever indebted to you ,
                                                                                                                     Hung 

Judi, Mike, and Luke know Dr. Long Vu through the beautiful family that he and MyLoc Vu have built. The entire family exudes a spirit of generosity and inclusion that has made us, the tall blonde my trangs, always feel welcome. 

Dr. Vu lives on through his children and grandchildren who are hard-working, intelligent, gracious, and who form a tight bond often celebrated with good food and laughter. His family’s high moral values, integrity, and humble spirit of service to others is an impressive legacy of his life. 

We are grateful to have known him during his time on earth. And we are honored to continue knowing and expanding him through the stories and lives of those he left behind. 

Loan,
   I am so sorry, please give my love to all of your family. 
   Dr. Vu left an amazing legacy. He lived a life well lived. He had a family that loved him and was involved in his kids and grandkids lives on a daily basis. He also had a great career as a family physician and touched many lives in Nebraska , California and Vietnam. 
   I had the pleasure of seeing him on my recent trip to San Diego and I cherished it. Seeing him brought back old memories of all the med school graduations, he was a father of few words but his face and smile told everything... joy and pride. I find my self thinking of how difficult times were when he and your mom had to pack up your family and leave your homeland. They built  a new life for all of you and provided all the tools needed for success. 
   You are probably feeling numb and are reliving Ai's passing, know that your friends are thinking of you and your family and share your grief.
                                 With love and friendship,
                                                         Sepa
