Our beloved mother Mai Yia Vue, was born in Laos on December 31,1959, to parents Neng Chue Vue (Dad) and Dia Lee (Mother). Mai Yia was the second oldest child out of her five siblings. She married her first husband, Chue Lor, who sadly passed away in Laos. Together Mai Yia and Chue had one daughter Mor. Mai Yia's second marriage was to Wa Neng Lee, who sadly passed away in 2015. Together Mai Yia and Wa Neng had four children, Vue, Jay, Tha and Zoua. In her second marriage, Mai Yia was blessed to welcome four step-children, Mai Houa, Chong Wa, Yang and Shoua. She has 35 grandchildren whom she loved dearly.

In 1988, Mai Yia and Wa Neng immigrated from Laos to the United States. They resided in Toledo, Ohio for two years before moving their family to Detroit, Michigan. In 2008, they moved from Detroit to Eastpointe, Michigan.

Mia Yia was a loving daughter, mom, grandma, sister, aunt and friend. She will be deeply missed by all her loved ones, and her memory will live on forever in their hearts.

Loss of Mother Poem

"Now that I am gone,

Remember me with smiles and laughter.

And if you need to cry,

Cry with your brother and sister

Who walk in grief beside you.

And when you need me,

Put your arms around anyone

And give to them what you need to give to me.

There are so many who need so much.

I want to leave with you something-

Something much better than words or sounds.

Look for me in the people I’ve known

Or helped in some special way.

Let me live in your heart

As well as in your mind.

You can love me most

By letting your love reach out to your loved ones,

By embracing them and living in their love.

Love does not die, people do.

So when all that’s left of me is love,

Give me away as best you can" - Author Unknown

The last time

"There was a last time

for everything-

but I didn't know it then.

The last time you called,

the last time we laughed

the last time I held your hand

without knowing

I would never hold it again.

Funny, how the end never tells you

that it's arrived-

it just stands quietly

at the door,

waiting for you to notice." - K. Ashley

"Mom, we will miss you always & forever. You will live in our hearts and walk beside us everyday until we meet again." - Your children & grandchildren
