Memories of you Mom. Never forgotten.
Love forever,
L.Duong

Dearest Mom,

It's been a year now since you left earth, Mom. There is NO day that I do not think about you.  I miss you so much Mom and nothing can describe how much pain I carry through life without you. I pray Budha to bring you to heaven with happiness forever. And just that it brings me comfort. REST IN PEACE, Mom. 
I love you forever,
Farewell,
BaNho cua Ma


PART II: In the first part of this story I told you that my Ba Ngoai climbed a mountain at 80 yrs old! She was brave and also affectionately curious. This nature combined with her occasional forgetfulness lead to many cute stories. Well, here is my favorite.  Here is a picture of a mountain that sets up the story (sorry, upside down). Ngoai said "Kimmy, nui nay dep lam. Co ai di tren do khong con"? & Kimmy said "Ngoai di roi!" and she asked in disbelief 'Ngoai co di ha?" Translation: "Kimmy, this mountain is very beautiful. Has anyone ever gone up there?" "Ngoai, YOU went already." "I really did?" Haha 😆🤣😂😁 Thank you for all the love and fun memories. LOVE YOU forever!

PART I: One of my fondest memories was during one of her visits to Hawaii (my home). We went to the Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden which is located adjacent to a majestic mountainside. I took both Ong Ba Ngoai to one of my favorite places. The walk was short but pretty steep. I asked "Ngoai, do you want to go to the top with me and see?" She replied without hesitation "Ok, we go." I thought if not now, when? So we went. Slow but steady, she made it! My Ngoai climbed a mountain! Despite issues with clear vision, she could see the shapes of the mountain and the colors enhanced by the sunlight. The air was cool and she lay down on the bench and relaxed and we talked. I will forever share this special place with my Ba Ngoai forever in my heart. Love you!

Dear Mom,

Nothing can describe my feeling when Con came home from afar and found that Mom is no longer on this earth. My heart broke into thousands pieces. 

Thank you Mom for giving Con my life, thank you Mom for raising Con up, thank you Mom  for loving Con and my family to your last day. 

Please forgive Con for coming home so late that Con missed to see you, to hold you, talk to you, and kiss you goodbye. Con will cherish all memories we had together both in Vietnam and in the United States. 

Mom, You will be missed and Your memory will live in Con forever.

Your youngest daughter,

Bà Ngoại, 

I miss you. I remember when I was small, you would take me back to your house in Santa Ana while mom was at work. You would cook me all kinds of foods while I waited and watched TV.  When I was in elementary school, you would watch me in your house in Lake Forest while I waited for mom. I realize that you were always doing what you do best: being a loving mother.  You always put others before yourself, and I will forever try to make that up in your memory. I wish we had more time to spend together, and am sad that you have left. But I know you are in a better place now, and when I look up I know it is you, watching over me, doing what you do best. Everything I do, is in memory of you. Love you Bà Ngoại.

To my loving Bà Ngoại,

Your unconditional love for your grandchildren will be greatly missed. You were always there for our important life events: graduations, weddings, to birth of our own child. You taught me to be strong, preserve, and always treat people in the same manner you wanted to be treated. We will never forget the unique way you would sing "Happy Birthday" to us, your smile that lights up the room, and your loving kisses when we visit you and ông nội. I am very grateful you met our little, Emily, considering how long it took for us to finally have a little one of our own. 

Please rest in peace knowing you raised a wonderful family, grandchildren who strive to work hard knowing the sacrifices you made to come to America in hopes of ensuring a better life for your daughters, and great grandchildren who will learn about you every day.  

I love you Bà Ngoại.

Forever your granddaughter,
Carolyn (Caro) 


Dear Bac Trai and Family,
Due to our busy life styles, we don't get to see Bac Gai much but every time we met her she treated us like her own family. Her words and gestures to us were so honest, loving, and gentle.
I will miss seeing Bac Gai leaning on Bac Trai, walking down Pittsford street, in the afternoon, when I play tennis at the park.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Duc, Chau, Madison, Malorie and Brandon.

The Tabornals

The last moment I held your wrist, I realized that Mom was no longer with us. My eyes filled up with tears as I looked outside to see the gray sky and knew that life will continue on without you, Mom. We will miss you forever! I pray and wish to see you again in my next life. You were the best mom a daughter could ever ask for. 

Love Always,

To my lovely grandmother, Bà Ngoại - 

There is not one day that goes by where I do not think about you. You lived an amazing life and triumphed over challenges no one ever hopes to face. You possessed a repertoire of qualities everyone envies - strength, independence and resilience. You were also always kind, generous and considerate. Your absence hurts because it was just one year ago where we enjoyed and laughed over a bowl of phở bò, but my mind understands that you are in a place far away from pain. I only wish I could articulate it to my heart. I will forever love you.

Your grandson,
Huy

Dear Mom

I missed my daily visit to take care of you. Each time when I got inside the house to greet you, you always said "My lovely daughter is here to take care of me". I am always remember you in my heart & our special time which we have spent together. We traveled around the world together many times & I am glad that we had very good memories together.

Always love you, Mom!
Hang 

It is with sadness that we hear of your lose.   Garry and I were privledged to have share time with your family.    Your mom was a very special lady and she was so proud of her family.  We are so grateful that you notified us.  Is David still alive.  He had heart issues long ago but your mom always seems to be the strong one.  She called me one time from California to tell me she speaks English and wanted to talk to me.  You have all been on my mind for the past month and I did not call.  You are always in my prayers.  God bless youI hope I can do a better job of keeping in touch.

Tributes to my Mom,
Thank you Mom for your care and devotion to Dad and your five daughters all your life.  We know that you are in a better place now and we will forever miss your caring and loving beside all of us.   You and Dad have shared 68 years together with all five of us and the precious memories will never fade.

I always remember that you said when we were little kids, it always made you happy looking forward to going home from work and see us.  You said on those days when it rained, you found us sisters gathered under the tree at home praying that it would stop raining so our Mom could get home quickly with us. 

I learned to love growing orchids from you.  You gave me my first purple and yellow cymbidium bulbs you rescued from the old pots that Dad discarded.   You said to me that they would still grow and flower if I give them tender loving care.   They are so beautiful now Mom, each year when they bloom I remember you.   THANK YOU, MOM!

Mom, you lived your life as a simple and humble person, yet your love for Dad and your daughters is immeasurable.  You taught us to be kind and loving toward others.  
We will take good care of Dad as you have asked us.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

With much love always,
 You daughter -  Van

Dear my beloved Mom,

You have left us in this life and I do not know how to describe the lost of the mother from everyone else in this world but it is unexplainable of my sorrow & sadness at this time when you are gone. On your obituary, I would like to express our appreciation to you for being a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Your endless loving, caring and sacrifice to all of your loved ones will be always in our heart & soul. You have done your best when you are with us and you are now resting and be with your parents. Please rest in peace, Mother. I will always remember our happy memories together forever.
You are always remembered, Mother.
