Ying,
You were taken too young, too soon. So surreal these last few months seem, and yet today I saw someone who reminded me so much of you and the reality that I would never be able to see your beautiful smile or give you a hug again set in.
All the memories came back from our childhood to San Pedro, Santa Barbara in my teens, to our recent lunches and football games over the last few years. I am so happy that we were able to be friends, those were my favorite memories of you.
Saturday we will celebrate you, your life and all of our collective stories, laughs and sorrows. You will be in our hearts.
Love,
Veleda

Ying was taken from us way too soon. 
Ying was the ‘laugh of my life’ during our years working together at CDE. There was not a dull moment with her at work or at play. Our times together have always been filled with fun and laughter. She also had a generous and caring soul. I used to call her countless of times to ask regulations related questions at work and she was always spot on with her knowledge and expertise. She was my go to person when I needed great restaurant recommendations, getting state rates for hotels, recipes and whatever else. She just had that special charm, niceness, and demeanor that always win people over. I will miss you so much Ying. I thank you for your wonderful friendship and for all the great times we spent together. It just wouldn’t be the same without you and you so know it....but it’s FIIINE ( she used to say when things were not going well)💔


Hi Na Ying,

I still remember the times from when I was younger, and I’d come to your apartment in the gated area across from Kastner and you’d take care of me and make me food, and we’d watch TV and hang out together.  I remember your kitchen stocked with snacks and the grilled cheese sandwiches you made while we watched Forrest Gump on your couch.  I remember enjoying those days and spending time with you.  You were always a great aunt to me, and I’m still somewhat in a state of shock that this all happened to you.  Its made me and everyone in our family so sad that you’ re not with us anymore.

When I think of you now I remember someone who had a strong mind and felt deeply about her own personal views, and someone who cared about the well being of her loved ones.  Someone who had a soft heart, and sensitivity, exemplified by your love and care for animals in need, for people in need.  

I think back to the time when I was 16 and decided to sign up to get my driver’s license at the DMV in Tulare.  I inadvertently made a turn on a one way street, which led to an immediate fail on my first try.  When the instructor drove us back, I still remember seeing you and my mom waiting for me out front.  I walked out of the car in tears and you guys ran toward me to see what had happened.  I still remember how upset you were at the sight of my upset.  I remember you looking angrily at the instructor and saying you’d go talk to her even after I had explained what had happened.  Even though nothing could have been done at that point, I still haven’t forgotten your concern and your comforting manner thereafter.  Even though it’s just a single example, it’s sort of illustrative of how I remember you.  As a kind and caring person with such sweetness and a hint of fire.  

You’re always going to be my aunt.  I’m going to miss you.

Love,

Chris

Ying was my soulmate for 24.5 years.  She was my world.  We met at Asilomar beach in Pacific Grove in 1994.  On January 19th, we began our journeys together.  We loved to travel and explore different places all the time.  When we did not go anywhere, we would stay at home, relax and watch T.V. all day.  We loved our quite together time together simply playing with the cats, joking and laughing, and enjoying Ying’s homemade Mac and Cheese.  Ying loved to cook and entertain guests.  Some of her favorites were Thai curry, Pat Thai and mango with sticky rice.  My job was to BBQ the meats and grill the vegetables.  Guests would always leave with a care package.  She had fun remodeling the Marina house and always sought my suggestions and approvals, so in the end we would have a picture perfect house to entertain.  Ying lived to volunteer to help out people and volunteer to cook for events.  She was most amazing, fun loving, and fascinating woman I have ever known.  She loved her pets, especially Sienna, her beloved dog.  Ying will always be missed and will remain in my thoughts and my heart for an eternity!
I love you so much Ying,

Tim

Ying,

You were taken from us too soon, and we will miss you always! We know that you are in a better place, but we would rather have you here with us longer! I'm glad that Xavier got to meet you before you were taken from us. We will always be grateful to have had you in our lives, and that a day will never go by without us thinking about you. We will see you again!

With love and a heavy heart,

Na Teep, Na Tui, Chai, Lupe, Isaiah, and Xavier

Yingy,

I can’t tell you how much I miss you.  I still see you everywhere I go.  I see you riding your little bike in front of the house.  I see you in your Girl Scout uniform selling cookies at Marina Village.  I see you in Phuket when the two of us standing on the beach at James Bond Island.  I see you graduating from Seaside High School on the same football field I did ten years earlier.  I remember visiting you many times in Tulare and Farmersville.  I most cherish the time we went to San Diego and Disneyland when Alina was young and to San Francisco in 2013 where we took the Bay cruise and went to the Giants game.  How I wish we could do that again.

I promise to take care of mom for you.  I promise that your niece and nephew will constantly be reminded of their sweet, generous and loving auntie Ying.

Rest In Peace baby sister. We will meet again.

Love,

P’A

Ying had the gifts of generosity and artistry.
A couple of years ago, Ying moved back into Na Ead’s house.  When her work didn’t take her on the road, she would find time to cook and bring delicious Thai snacks and meals to my brother and father.

After she remodeled her mom’s house, she invited our whole family over for dinner.  At the kitchen helm were Na Ead, Apple and Ying cooking us a fabulous Thai meal in all its authenticity.  There, Ying shared the blueprint of how she executed her vision.  She encouraged me to do the same for my father’s house using her blueprint.  Her creative talents were reflected in all the rooms with warmth and style.  She was very inspiring and generous to all that had the privilege of knowing her.

We will keep these memories of Ying that we hold dear in our hearts always.  In her honor, may the joy and generosity of Ying’s spirit continue in kind.

Alicera and Family 

When most people think about their job, they think about what they do, how much money they make, the title they hold and the day they get to retire.  But when I really think about it, one of the most rewarding factors for me are the people I work with.  I am surrounded by so many beautiful, strong, intelligent women who I never would have met outside of work.  How lucky am I that God surrounded me with these ladies?  When I look back, so many of them have become such a big part of my life and share some of my most fondest memories.  At what point do coworkers become friends and friends become family?  Because of what they are, they are family.
Yesterday was a very difficult day for our family.  We lost one of the most beautiful souls I’ve ever met.  I went and look back at the pictures we took through the years and these are my most favorite.  
Ying, thank you for all the kindest you’ve given me...all the wonderful food you’ve cooked, the restaurant and travel recommendations, all the supportive words and all the gummy bears....
We already miss you, love you and will always honor your memory and life...
I know one day we will see you again so save us a seat and we’ll meet you at happy hour heaven...

Dearest Ying:

So many things to say, we are not sure where to start.  Even before you were 1 year old, we cared for you like our own daughter and helped raise you in many ways.  Wherever we went, whether it was a short quick getaway or an overseas trip, we always brought you with us because you were our child, too.  Our hearts are heavy and we are saddened but will always remember the love we all shared.  We will miss you more than we can express in writing.  We love you.

Love,
Uncle Kamol and Aunt Oot

Dear Ying:

It was always the four of us together while growing up.  Every summer, you would pack your bags and "move in" until school started again.  We spent so much time together and we are thankful to have these memories.  So many good times spent in the backyard, swimming in the pool, our silly songs and dances that we made up, crazy van-filled trips to Disneyland, going to Thailand together, and then as adults we were able to enjoy some memories, too.  Our younger years cannot be thought of without thinking of you because we were so close.  We will miss you and thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives.  We are heartbroken to lose our sister and will think of you always.

Vanessa, Kevin, and Veleda


A love between Mother & Child is forever 

There are so many moments when I wish you knew how much you mattered to me and how I thank you for being such a wonderful daughter.
There were times when you would cook my favorite meal or bring me a treat from the store for no special reason and I would feel loved. 
 In the times of my life, whether we are near or far, I remember that there could never be any daughter more wonderful than the one you are.
I have in my heart so much love for you, my wonderful, beautiful daughter.

With all my love,

Mom

To my sister Ying,

I miss you and will always love you.  If I had the chance, I would go back and change many things from the past.  I wish that I could have been more loving and understanding towards you during certain times in our lives.  I know that we’ve had our differences, like many sisters do, but I have always loved you.  I will always love you. I’m so appreciative that we’ve been able to get closer and spend more time with each other in these past few years.  I loved staying with you back in our old Marina home, updated by your own vision.  I still think of those mornings when I’d wake up and smell your delicious cooking.  I love how we’d eat and laugh and play cards together with mom.  I love how we’d share a passion for food, and I’ll miss the times that we cooked together.  I’ll miss the times when we’d shop and then search for the perfect places to eat.  I’ll miss the times when you would picked me up at Burbank airport and would drive to see P’ Pan in Ventura.  I will always cherish all of our memories, from our youth until now.

I was and will always be so grateful that you took such good care of mom and Ruddy as well, during illness and hard times.  I promise to continue passing on your kindness and care.  I promise to be there for mom, always, and especially now.  She misses you more than anything.  You were taken from us too soon, but I know that you lived a rich and full life.  I know, and hope you knew that you were loved by so many.  None of us will forget you and the goodness within you. I will always love you.

Your sister..

To Na Ying...

In the end and in her beginnings
she lived in parallel
Among the Marina seas

Clarity in her Sandy dark eyes casted a depth 
--A kindness
--A strength in heart and singular mind
Her smiles, they swept with a sweetened sensitivity
This love is never lost
Not to illness
Not to time 

From then until now
and till further more
The endearment of her laughs will echo in the breeze
Through the setting of suns and to the sun's rise
She'll live on amongst the Marina seas

Chris

"Remembering Ying"

Wasn't it wonderful that we got to spend as many years with Ying as we did.  She always make people around her happy. 
Let not be sad that she is gone but be glad that she was ever here.

She will be missed.

❤️ Love,

Ruddy

We all remember Ying as a very sweet and lovely, soft spoken young woman who always had a very distinct Thai gentleness about her, especially towards her older relatives, eventhough she left Thailand when she was very small.
When we heard the news that she was sick, we didn’t think it was going to be anything serious.  So, we were very sad to learn that she left us too sudden and too soon.  We all miss her dearly.  She was so much loved.

She is in a better place now.  May she Rest In Peace.
With lots of love from our family.

Na Ord, Na Nui, Ploy and Plearn

Among her colleagues, Ying was known for her beautiful smile, kindness, generous team spirit, food savvy and vast culinary skills, natural inclusiveness, professionalism, knowledge, objectivity, positive, respectful attitude, resourcefulness and brilliant sense of humor.  She was the willing social coordinator for after-work meet-ups and meals.  She was well respected by the nutrition program sponsors.  
Ying had an impressive knowledge of professional football and basketball including team and player statistics, standings and histories.  She deftly participated in sports conversations when out and about.  A storied month long trip to her native country, Thailand, and Cambodia with a dear friend was an adventure never to be duplicated.

Ying will be greatly missed but her warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit will be remembered forever.

Love,

The Sutakul family


We have so many descriptive words for Ying; caring, joyous, adventurous,  loving, warmhearted, intelligent and just so much fun to be with.  We are so glad we got to spend a few days with her in early May, even got to wish her Happy Birthday on May 6. 2018.  Our family will miss her terribly as she has been apart of it for close to 25 years. We love you Ying, there will never be another like you.
