Bay Thi Duong’s kindness and warmth touched everyone who knew her. She loved visiting the casino, watching Vietnamese soap operas, and laughing along with Family Feud—mainly because of Steve Harvey, whom we playfully called her 'boyfriend. She loved good food, cherished her coffee (café), and had an endearing fondness for her water bottle, back scratcher, Salonpas patches, Chinese oil, and her beloved "PAPER."
Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love and memories she shared will live on forever in the hearts of her family and friends.
