Hannah so sorry for your family loss.  God bless you and your family in this situation.  I pray for all of you. 

Grandma Kim was my Mother In Law however, she was more of a sister and friend to me and I loved her so much.

	Through Grandma Kim I learned of and embraced the Vietnamese/Asian culture to it’s fullest as a Caucasian man and I am so privileged to have been welcomed immediately into her family and that is how it all began many years ago.

	Grandma and I spent many hours talking together and she shared so many things with me about the Vietnamese war, the difficulties she encountered raising a son and 2 daughters during this time yet she always said, “Bill, it was ok … it was easier for us than for so many other Vietnamese families”.

	She had a “Heart of Gold” and was kind to everyone and all of whom knew her loved her unconditionally.

	Grandma Kim taught me how to cook Vietnamese food by watching her at the table, chopping and preparing all of the amazing vegetables she grew in her garden. Then at the stove, taking care to follow her directions exactly.  We would often roll “Goi Cuon (Vietnamese Spring Rolls) and “Cha Gio” (Vietnamese Egg Rolls) together at the same table of the Fisk Road house in Virginia where all the preparations were made.

	During here later years, her daughters, son, grandson and grand daughter lived with her at the Fisk Road house together as a family.

	Grandma Kim with my wife Carol, made at least, 4 trips home to Vietnam to be with her friends and family. She was so happy to be in Vietnam.

	There are so many other memories I could write about here but I will reserve them for when I am with the family in the future and we will preserve the wonderful memories for the grand children.

	In closing I can simply say Rest In Peace Grandma. As a Christian I know you are in a place of Goodness and Light and you will dwell in the House of Our Lord forever.

	And for Carol, Michael, Kiet, Amanda, William and Lena, though I cannot be there with you physically during these difficult times due to Covid, know I am with you
