Hi  Dad! Thinking of you. Everyone is doing great with either school and/or their career. You and mom taught us well.  We finally sold the Devon building.  Too much to keep up. We have a few addition to the family since you left. 3 great great grandchildren and  expecting one soon. My 2 children are engaged.  I'm sure you have been watching over us and knew about this. 

  Love and miss you, 碧霞

Hi Dad,

Everyone at home is doing great! We miss you!

Irene

Missing you as always, and love you lots 
With lots of love,

Hello Dad

I thought I heard you called me by my chinese name this afternoon. A name I have not heard since you left and probably will not hear again.

Wonder where you are and how you are doing. Miss you.

Love,

Dad,

Hope you like your headstone, installed 11/13/15. Mom likes it and we all think it's pretty. We all miss you. Love,

Gong,

I know you're watching me from above and blessing me with different opportunities to succeed, wish me luck this saturday! <3 Miss you always

Dad, 

Rosehill just notified us that Your headstone will be delivered by 11/20. Sorry it  took longer than expected. 

Miss you.

Hello Dad,

Had a few unfortunate incidents happened to us this past couple weeks but with your blessing those incidents limited to minimum losses. I am sure you are always around watching over us and give us a helping hand like you did when you were still around.

The new restaurant/PNG is doing good. We all working hard and everyone in the family put in a lot of efforts to help out. I am sure you are happy to see our family working together to help out each others. 

I can't believe you left us for 8 months already. We really miss you. We are so lucky to be part of You and Mom.

Love you,

Hi gong, I thought I saw you the other day as grandma was walking. I miss you so much! This week has been so stressful, and I felt as if the world was out to get me. I wish you were here. You're the only one who has always been so positive all the time. Please send me the strength to keep pushing forward everyday! Always thinking about you!

Good morning Dad,

Thank you for vising in my dream this morning. It's nice to know you been home visiting and you been with your old buddy. That hug we had in my dream was very comforting. You are always a caring and loving Dad even in my dreams.

The restaurant is doing great. 

Moon festival is this Sunday but for the first time you are not home to celebrate with us. We miss you Dad.

Love you,

Good morning Dad,

Good morning Dad,

Everyone at home is doing fine. It's been 7 months since you left us. We still miss you a lot. 

We are having a praying at home for you this Wednesday. Hope you be home to visit and enjoy food.
 

Love you always

Hi Gong! 
Miss you as always, hope you've been well! It's weird to think how much time has passed by already. I'm still working hard to make you and everybody else proud! The restaurant is opening up soon, bet you're excited for that!

How did you like Korea?! Did you have fun? The scenery was beautiful wasn't it? They were scared I wasn't going to remember to bring you back -_-, but I remembered! 

Love you

We miss you Dad. We are so happy to see you in our dreams.  Love,

Good morning grandpa! 
Guess what? I got an A in my summer class! I remember talking to you a while back and I was disappointed because I wasn't motivated in school, and I cried because I thought you and grandma would be mad at me and I didn't want to be a disappointment. But you weren't mad at all, you and grandma told me to work harder and that its ok. Now I am working harder and I actually enjoy school. I did it for you and grandma. I miss and love you very much! Thank you for always being so positive ❤

Hi Dad,

Thanks for visiting in my dream again. Mom asked if you been home visiting and enjoyed your food? Pho N' Grill is moving along but has not opened yet. It took longer than anticipated. With your blessing, I am sure it will open soon and successful. Please visit in our dreams. Love you...

Hi Dad,

Dreamed about you in past couple weeks. Again, you were a hero in my dreams. Always willing to help. Thanks for visiting. We love and miss you.

Hi Gong!

Happy Father's Day! You were an amazing man and we're still here missing you tons. I hope you're doing well in heaven, and enjoying it! I know you're constantly watching over us I'm struggling a little bit right now, but i'm trying to work hard to make you proud!

Love you and miss you!

p.s. please visit in our dreams

Hello Dad,

I have been coughing with a lot of pain in my chest and ribs. Now I can feel what you went through when you were ill. I am sure my pain is not even 10% of yours. You were a strong man as you never complaint to us.   Fathers Day is in a few days but it's sad that you are not around to celebrate. I had a dream about you the other day but only saw your hand then woke up by the alarm clock. Thanks for visiting me in my dream. And, we are making progress with the restaurant. It's Pho N' Grill and we incorporated  under your name.  Love you Dad.

Dad,

It's still hard to believe that you are not around, 4 months since you left. Wish you are still around and I could give you a hug.

Hello Dad

Once again, thank you for your blessings. Love and miss you.

Good Morning Dad,

The wedding is in 2 days. A day you always wanted to see. Please come join us to celebrate this special moment. Thank you for visiting me in my dream last night. You done so much for us. Even now you are not around and you still protected and stood up for me in my dream. Words cannot describe your love for this family. If there's a next life, I still want to be part of you and Mom. Love and miss you much. Hope to see you in my dreams again.

Good Morning Dad,

May 9, we had your 100 day services at Quang Minh Temple, home and China. Hope you enjoyed food and be peaceful where you are. Rosehill is working on foundation for your headstone. We all wish to see you in our dreams more often. Miss and love you so much.

Hello Dad,

It's been over 3 months. Sorry, took so long to set up a sign at your grave. Your headstone has been orderd but not ready til Fall. We are moving forward with the restaurant and with your blessing I am sure they will be successful. Mom and everyone are doing ok. Your 100 day service this coming up Saturday. Wedding and 2 graduations are coming up but unfortunately you will not be here to celebrate with us. I miss and love you much.

Hi Gong! 
I went to Ba'hai temple a couple weeks ago and I was thinking about you, it was super peaceful there and really pretty! Then as I was leaving I was a rabbit! Was that your sign to me that you were actually there too? :)

The other day was crazy, but I got through it, because I know you're watching over me and protecting me, so thank you so much! I miss you tons and tons, and I'll visit you! Always miss you!

Dad thinking of you every moment still can't belive you left us. You always in my heart I already miss you a lot, love you always. Every time I am at airport,feeling happy to see you and family. But now every time I am at the airport I feel different, very emotional. I R emember the last time head back Chicago for your funeral in a cold day with heart broken that I will not see you and talk to you anymore since January 1, 2015. I still remember our conversation. And you said " Dad is ok you don't need to worry about me" after that I thought about to see you again in Chinese New Year! Or Your Birthday. But I can't believe that I went back for your funeral. Miss you a lot a lot you alway in my heart. Love you always.

I miss you Dad. It's heartbroken coming home from work everyday when you are not around. Love,

Hello Dad,

Two months since you left.  I still can't believe that actually happened.  It  feels like you just went on a long vacation and will be back.  How are you? Where are you? What are you doing? Are you happy where you are at?  I miss you. Love always,

Dad, 

Mom said that she felt you came home to visit this morning.  Hope you enjoy your tea and coffee.  

Pick out a monument for you is not easy because we want the best for you. Please help us pick out the one you like. Thanks Dad.  

Love,

Hi Gong!

Since its been past 49 days, it means you've safe traveled to heaven, right? I hope you had a safe trip! Hopefully you got the karma from the good deeds  we did :) But don't worry, just cause the 49 days are over, it doesn't mean we'll stop doing good deed, because you raised us to be good people who do good things. We broke the vegetarian diet on sunday, when we celebrated your birthday! They made a feast for you, and we left you your seat at the table, I hope you ate well! I hope I got the right pieces of crab for you, if not, you probably would have hit me or something, haha. Being vegetarian for 49 days was a bit hard at first, but it's something we kind of got used to!  Regardless of how hard it was at first because we barely had any options, I wanted to hold my promise to myself for you, and do vegetarian for you for 49 days, hope you had a fun time watching us, haha. Grandma said a lot of us lost a lot of weight, and she said I looked like a grandma -_-. 

Whenever I drive past you, I always say goodnight, I hope you hear/see me. It's crazy to believe how much time has passed already. It's still hard to accept reality, and I still miss you a lot, but it gives me comfort knowing that you're in peace now and reunited with everyone else. It must be tough on you watching over all 30+ of us, but I hope you're watching with pride and joy, don't worry about us, we're slowly getting through this. Miss you lots and lots, Gong. There isn't a day that I'm not thankful for your lessons and our upbringing. I miss messing around with you :( Please visit us in our dreams or at home, or something. Love you lots, Gong! 
Love always,

Hello Dad. Today is the 49th day since you left. I know you left without any regrets because you have fulfilled everything in life. What you have done as a Brother, Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather is beyond your duties. You have done so much for this family and will never be forgotten.  We all love and miss you a lot. With much respects,

Dad happy birthday thinking of you every night. Love you

Dad happy birthday thinking of you a lot every night. Love you.

Dad,  its your birthday.  Hope you received your presents.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

How are you doing?
There isn't a day that I haven't thought about you. I miss you more and more each day, and I hope you're doing well in heaven. Thank you for being such an amazing role model and inspiration in all of our lives. You gave everything for your family, and we couldn't be more grateful for all your hard work and accomplishments. I'm not going to lie, it is hard to wake up everyday knowing you're not physically here with us, but I do know you'll always be in your prayers and thoughts. I love you so much Grandpa, and I am so lucky to have been raised by you and Grandma. You've taught us so much, and I promise, it will not be forgotten. Because of you and grandma, we have such a close family filled with love. I know you're still here watching over us, but please don't worry too much and don't forget to take care of yourself. We will take care of each other because we are family, and that is how we were raised. Family over everything.
Happy birthday Grandpa, and infinitely more to come!

Forever loved, 
 Your granddaughter

Dad, 

Today is Mom's birthday but she wants to have a combined celebration with yours just like the old day. 

Mom and sister said they saw you in their dreams at the hospital, dressed in suit and very cheerful. I also heard your breathing the other day. Did you visit us?

Your grand children are so silly.  They made me laugh so hard the other day. First time I laughed that hard since 1/31/15. 

Your first great grand child bows to you every time he comes to Bell. He  asked to visit you when they drove by the cemetery last week.  They brought flowers. He said he wishes you could still be with us. He asked why we don't have a tombstone for you yet. He worried that you would get cold out there. He's very thoughtful and sincere. Such a filial and obedient child. The 2nd one just started daycare. Your little precious is so chatty now. Everyone is doing ok.

Just like you used to say, proud of  your 4 generations. You and Mom taught us well.

You are always in our memories and forever in our hearts.

Dad, 
It's been a month since you left.   
Still hard to believe that  you are not around. I miss you.

Gong Hay Fat Choi, Gong!

It's a little weird spending the New Years without you, it just doesn't feel the same. I've been missing you a ton lately. I've had some difficult times lately and I've been asking you to watch over me, and I know you've been watching over all of us and protecting us. Thanks again for your presence in our life, the values you've instilled in our minds, and for leaving all of us with the best possible support system ever, each other. I miss you so much and love you always. I'm going to stop slacking and start working hard for you, so get ready to see me push myself past my limits just for you. Love you always <3

Dad,

I wrote you a Valentines note but it's not showing up. You probably want to keep it for yourself and no one else to see. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve. It's the first time not having you around for New Year's Eve dinner. Just wondering where you are and what you are doing? Will you be joining us for dinner tonight? Just like the old days, we will reserve the head of table spot for you. Hope you don't mind I am wearing your favorite robe and vest. It's keeping me warm. We all miss you and proud to be part of you. Thank you for everything you gave this family. Love you.

I still wake up every morning thinking the morning you left us is still a dream. You have left us with a huge shoe to be filled. Mimicking what you have done for our family will be a feat your children and grandchildren may attempt to accomplish. The sacrifices you have made for us has gonna above and beyond the duties of a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather. Coming here to the states empty handed and working to the bones to provide for us. Now we've all grown with your teachings and love for the family. When people know i am related to you, I tend to stand taller and with my chest held higher. I am proud to be of your bloodline and will make sure all of our children and grand children will know of you and how GREAT of man you are. How I wish we can still hear your stories. ......

I miss you dad, its been over a week since you passed. You are always in my heart. We promise to take care of mom, and everyone in this family will love and take care of each other. Everyone said that you have raised us well, from your children to your grandchildren. You are very respected from others. I am so proud to be your daughter <3  I love you and miss you very much

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss,
I am really sorry to hear about this.
May God be with you and your family in this difficult time!

Grandpa, I have spent my whole summers here with you and some Christmas' holiday. I'm glad that you were in my life even though I see you for only a few weeks of the year. I thank you for being my grandfather. You taught everyone to be happy no matter how sad the situation was. I love you.

Great man..One of the strongest,wisest hard working men I have ever known and met. It was an honor to be accepted by you and growing up with your family.You will be missed. RIP

Although I didn't get to know you, the times I've met you & seen you I will always remember. I can see through all your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren that you were a great man. You have raised a beautiful and loving family, what some people can only wish for. You are the perfect and ideal Grandfather any child would love, and that I've dreamed of having since young, being Grandfather-less. I am happy that this life time I got to address someone as Grandfather, and that man was you. May you be blessed with even more love and happiness where you are now ?

We all miss you very much and are all glad we got to have you in our lives. I will never forget the happy memories I've had with you. I hope you are having a great time in heaven, rest in peace grandpa :)

   Everyone in the family misses you.     
You were a nice grandpa. I wished that i could've spent more time with you. We will take care of grandma. 
I hope you have a great life in heaven.

My dearest uncle. You have left a great legacy with your family and the love to have shown will resonate throughout each member.  You taught everyone what it means to be a leader of a household.  A loving husband,  a providing father,  and the sweetest grandpa. Though today is a sad day, it will be joyous when we meet in heaven. You will never be forgotten.

Good morning grandpa...
u are a great man and grandpa. As I was growing up I remember u always took care of all of us from 
 your kids to your grand kids. And I see how u treat all your in-laws like it's your own kids. Everytime I see people that knows I'm your grandchild they always tell me how  nice u treated everyone and how great of a person u are. I will let my kids know as they grow up how great of a man there greatgrandfather is....
we will always remember  what u have done for all of us.
rest in peace grandpa.....

Good morning Grandpa! I hope you're relaxing up there in heaven, you're probably laughing at us trying to be vegetarian and laughing at us getting hungry every 15 minutes. We miss you so much, but we can all feel your presence and we know that you're watching us from above. We love you so so so much and miss you even more <3

Dad,

It's the 4th day since you left. We miss you. Please don't worry about us. We promise to take good care of Mom and each other. Have a peaceful journey to Heaven. With much love...
