“From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king” - J.R.R. Tolkien
With deepest sympathy.


On behalf of Các cháu, we would like to show our appreciation, gratitude, and love to our beloved Aunt Bác Trâm. 
Bác Trâm was like a mother to all of us. Whenever we saw her, she always walked with grace and confidence, greeting us with a warm hug and kisses, always leaving not one, but two or more bright lipstick marks on our cheeks.
She was a ray of sunshine, that brightened every room when she walked in. And like the sun, not only did she love to care and tend to her plants, she also loved to care and spoil all of us whenever she had the chance.
I remembered when we wanted ice cream, but none of us were able to drive, so she walked with us a couple of blocks to CVS or the vietnamese grocery store just to treat us to sweet treats.
 She loved cooking and made sure we were fed. She would always make us her delicious chả cá and egg rolls. She did everything so fast and flawlessly.
She was a strong and independent woman. Along with Bác Hùng, she pioneered the way to bring the whole family over to America. She suffered through so many hardships and through blood, sweat, and tears worked so hard for all of us so that we can be where we are today. She was selfless, always putting others first before herself, always thinking good of others even at their worst times, and never put anyone down.
Overall, it breaks our heart that we can’t create anymore memories together, but you will not be forgotten and we cherish you dearly. You will always remain in mind and forever in our hearts. We love you so so much and we hope that you knew that.

Not a day passes by that I don’t think of you and remember what you have done for us, your children, your family, and for all in the community and church. Your presence on earth brought joy to us all. You were a wonderful, beautiful, strong woman who gave us opportunity when you came to America. Mom, you filled our tummies with delicious food and generous to those less fortunate. When you go shopping you always buy in 3s, one for me, Joey and Kristin. I will never forget that because you never forgot about us. May God keep you safe in his arms so that you may serve Him in paradise. Heaven has received a new angel and they are more than blessed to have you. Mom, I love you and miss you dearly.
