Hi Kim, 
I'm not forgotten your birthday, I even told anh Hanh it's your birthday. Missed you much can't believe how time fly, 4 years already. Joshua is very handsome & Madi looks exactly like you. My family is good, Kat & Patrick is a parent now their son name Izaac he's so cute & loveable. Nick is with new girlfriend her nameis Christina, you know how he is. Other than that everyone else are fine & doing good.

Happy Belated Birthday my little sis!  I didn't forget your birthday, just that I didn't have a chance to sit down and write you.  I know you would forgive me for not saying it on time.  Everything is good here.  Life does go on, but we miss you, Dad, and Robert so much! I'm sure you three miss us here too and always watch over us.  Ben is doing good job taking care of Josh and Maddie.  So don't worry okay?  
Love you lots and lots....

Happy Belated Birthday sister, how are you? Haven't write to you lately. Were you celebrated with your dad and Robert on your big day? Can't believe it has been 4 years since you left your/our familes.  Times flies, can't believed Josh is already 13 yrs and Maddie is going to be 8. They are so grown up, especially Maddie looks just like you. Just want to update you on our family, we are doing well. Kevin & Jennifer just celebrated their 7 yrs together and trying to come up the $$$$ for the wedding which they have been talking about it.

Just a few words to say hello and wishing you a birthday. Love you and missed you a lot sister.

Happy Belated Birthday sister, how are you? I haven't been writing to you lately, have you been partying with your dad and Robert to celebrate your big day?

Hi em, 

Happy Birthday em gai, it has been 3 years since you left us.  I'm sure that you are celebrating your big day with your dad and Robert right now huh?  You have missed out a lot of things that are going on in the family function such as Drew become a father to a beautiful daughter and now Kathleen will become a new mom to her son.  I wish you still here to see how grown up your children are, Joshua and Maddie are such a beautiful children, especially Maddie she looks just like you and Ben is such a good father that he is taking real good care of his kids.
Just a few words to up date you what's going on and wishing you a Happy Birthday sista, whereever you are keep looking down and keep your family safe.  Don't party too much and enjoy that red wine ok, love you and missed you a lot.

Hi Mommy
We miss you a lot and wish you were here with us!

My dear little sis,
It's been three years! How fast time does fly!  I still can't believe that you're not with us.  The thought one day you'd come back still pops up in my head once in a while.  I chose to think that you're traveling or going out of town.  Maddie looks like you from head to toes.  She is so cute.  I love talking with her.  Josh is growing to be a handsome boy.  He knows how to shop now (at Target) :-)  Valerie is finishing up her first year of college and will be home for the summer really soon.  Bobby is also getting pretty tall. Things are moving along here.  How are you doing with Robert and Dad up there?  I miss you all too much!!!
You're always with me.
Much love, your big sis.

Hi Kim,
Today is the day you left our family, it had been 3 years already. I missed you a lot, not for any moment that I don't think of you. I keep asked myself why?
Joshua is growing up so fast, he's going to be very handsome young man. Mari looked exactly like you. Hey Kim just want to let you know me & anh Hanh are going to be grandparent, Van is going to have a baby boy. A lot of things change.
I wished time turn back so you still can be with us, I don't think I can ever let go that you're gone. Always loved you my dear sister-in-law.

Dear sweet little sister,
Every time I look at Maddie, I think of you.  She resembles you from head to toes. Josh is growing fast too and very handsome.  Bobby and Valerie are doing well.  Valerie finished her first semester at college (UA), and Bobby has gotten very tall. Do you see them from where you are?  I'm sure you're watching us all.  The holidays come too quickly this year for me.  I haven't had a chance to do much shopping.  I keep thinking that you would call me any minute and ask me to go to Macy's with you. I miss that old good time.  I've said this every time, but "Life is not the same without you".  I find myself waiting for you to come back sometimes.  I know it's impossible, but the mind has its own way to play trick on you, I think.  Party hard with Dad and Robert, okay sis? 
Love you always and always!!

Dear Kim,
It's still hard for me too as I read your family's notes to you. I think of you all the time and miss just hanging out, having lunch and chatting. Hard to lose a dear friend such as you. I know your family misses you so much as I can feel the love for you in their words. Still I can hear your voice and laughter. I am just thankful you were in my life as a friend. Carolyn

To my beloved Sis in Law
Thinking of you when I need help wrapping gifts, ever since our families don't have the nice wrapped gifts under our trees 
anymore. 
In our minds, we tried to hide our feelings miss you so bad every time our families get together, spend times to laughs, drinks, smiles & take funny moods pictures like you still with us.
The thoughts are we're here today not knowing what tomorrow after you gone in our life with suprised. Wish we can turn the clock back.
No, you're still with us in Maddie appearance, everyone know that, little sweat girl is also Kim that we know. Joshua's become a handsome young man, hugging them is like feel very close to you Sis.
You did send us the messages of being loves, cherish the moments & don't wait before it out of the reach. Your voice still ring in my ears "hi Chi" most of the times still.
No words can describe how sad not to be with someone you love that no longer can be touch.
Santa, please send this message to my Kim up there in the sky somewhere  when  you see her pls.
You're always in my heart till my last breath.??

Hi  Kim,
Merry Christmas, you used to tell me this is your favorite holiday. It's been 2 yrs without you already, Joshua & Madi are getting bigger, Madi looked exactly like you. Can you see us at all wherever you are, I missed you so much Kim can't get my mind of you. One of this day we will meet again. Every body doing fine, they're going on with their own life & their own things. I still had your last Christmas gift that I haven't open it yet, I don't think I ever will. Love you sis.

Hi Kim, as it get close to "be' Van" wedding maked me missed you more. Do you remember when you were still with us, I told "Van" when you getting marry ask co Kim to be your wedding planner.  Where are you when I  need you the most Kim? Loved you & missed you so much Kim. We all loved you sis.

My forever loved sister,
Happy birthday little sis! I celebrated your birthday in a big way. I had my wedding that day. How much I wish you were there!! Miss you so much Kim!!!
Love always!
Your big sis.

Hi Kim my love always sister-in-law
Happy Birthday sis, every year I'm looking forward to buy a birthday cards for you. But now nobody going to read my card anymore. Me, anh Hanh & the kids missed you too. We went to chi Huong's wedding yesterday, I'm so happy for her that she found somebody to share & cherrish her life with. Joshua & Madi grown big now, Madi look exactly like you every time I looked at her I'm thinking of you then my eyes tearing up.

Hi Kim,
Happy Birthday and yesterday was Huong's wedding day and she chose this day for the remembrance of your birthday. I was very surprise to see Thu Van at your sister's wedding. Seeing Thu Van, reminds me of yours and Ben's wedding. I was the Best man and she was the Maid of honor. Rachel still misses you a lot, sometimes when we eat your favorite foods she mentioned your name and sometimes she cries when Maddie mentioned something about you to Lauren. Lauren still remembers you by your pictures.  We always will miss you and you will always forever be in our hearts.

Hi Kim,

Happy Birthday.  Today is your sister's wedding.  Wishing you are here to celebrate the special occasion with us.  I miss you always.

Hi Hun
I want to wish you a happy peaceful Birthday. I hope you are not partying to much up there. LOL
BTW today is also your sis wedding day so come party with us!
Bye <3

To my closest friend Kim,
   You are in my thoughts every day until we see each other again.  I'm here at your site.It is so serene here, water flowing, wind chimes ringing and flower smelling beautiful. 
  We bought a beautiful house.  I wish you could see it. Yes, it a 2 story. Surprise huh? You know I only like one story. Maybe I could shed a few pounds. Lol.  Evan saw you picture on   Facebook and couldn't recognize you. I was a little sad because I wish  he could know what a wonderful person you are. Of course I reminded him and talked about you. The younger generation will only know you by stories of you.
Please guide them be good compassionate people like you. 

             Love you lots

Hi Kim,

Yes, I cannot believe it that it has been 2 years without you already, time goes by so fast.  I love Maddie, she's beginning to open up and talk more now; she used to be so quiet and shy.  Ben is doing really good  with the kids  as being single dad and as for a man.  Up to this date I still missed your soft voice, smile, and your encouragement.  We went visit you 2 weeks ago and we still cry because we miss you very much, the family is not the same without you.  I love you Kim and I wish you still here where I can hug you and say I love you very much.

My dear little sis,
So it has been 2 years...Reading Ben's comments brought tears to my eyes.  You don't know how much I miss you and wish that you were still here!  Life is definitely not the same without you, Dad, and Robert, but we all try to move on and live our next chapter.  Josh and Maddie are doing well.  Ben is doing a good job with them.  Valerie is going to university and Bobby is going to high school in the fall. They all grow up so fast!
I hope you're happy where you are. Say hi to Dad and Robert for me :-)
Love you, always!

Hi Hun,
How are you doing? Do you miss me? I think of you often and I can't believe 2 years has passed. Life is not the same for me since you went away and I wish it was. Sorry I haven't write to you often because I wanted to focus on my life moving forward and I hope you understand. Seems like every time I go to this site and write you something, it really makes me sad. Please forgive me!!
 Kids are doing well and growing fast. Josh will be going to his 5th grade trip next week for a few days and Maddie will be in Kindergarden this summer.
Btw Josh found a baby bunny rabbit at the park and we brought it home for a pet. 
Miss You a lots!!!!
Take care ok

My dear little sister,
The holidays came and went.  I miss you so much!  Not a single day gone by I'm not thinking about you.  I wish time could go backward so that we could live our lives together again.  Maddie and Joshua are doing well and growing fast.  Maddie looks so much like you… She is a quiet girl though.  I told her the other day that I'm her mom's sister.  She is still young, but I hope she knows I'm always there for her and Joshua of course.  How are you doing up there?  Do you party with Robert and Dad often :-)?  I hope you're still watching over us.  I know you are as you always care.  Things are not the same, and we all try to move on.  But you, Dad, and Robert will always be in my heart. 
Much love, 
Your sister

Hi Kim!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving.
One more year without you eating the turkey with us, this year every body are coming to my house. I'm hoping you looking down and party with us. I had missed you every single day, I'm calling your name right now Kim. I'm was thinking and asking you let me see and talk to you for 1 time then I will be happy, I know I know. I'm crazy ha ha ha.

Hi Kim,

I know when you were with us I told Kat let you be the wedding planner because you're good at organize everything. If you can see us from above please bless Kat & Patrick. I loved you with all my heart Kim.

My beloved  sis-in-law, are you up @the safe place & still watching over us? We miss your appearance , laughters, sincerest  in our life ever since.

Hi Kim
It's been a while I haven't write to you, but we always think about you and miss you very much. Believe it or not, sometimes Lauren still ask about you and remembers you. Today is Kathleen's engagement celebration party and wish that you are here with us, but I'm sure you always can see us from up there. Even though you're not with us in person but you will always be with us in our hearts and memories. Love you always sis in law.

Happy B-Day My Sweet Sister In-Law
I had missed you so much, without you nothing fun anymore. You know every year I'm looking forward to buy you a birthday card that you will love but now nobody going to read my card. Hey dont party too much up there. Without you nothing be the same, everybody doing good hanging in there day by day, your kids growing bigger & taller of course. "Madi" look exact like her mom I loved her smile, and "Josh" look exact like his dad he going to be very handsome more than his dad ha ha ha.
I had wished you can see that, love you always my sister, you're always in my heart.

Happy B-Day sister in-law,

How are you up there?  I'm so sorry that I haven't wrote to you lately and that does not mean that I forgot about you, how can we forget a person like you?  I can't believed this is your  2nd birthday without you but I'm sure you're having a blast up there right?  Probably you are drinking red wine right now and dancing away.  

I still missed you every day especially your sweet voice and smile.  Happy B-Day again Kim, enjoy your day.  Luv you very much.

Happy Birthday Kim. We will always miss you and think of you everyday.

Aloha! Kim,

Hi Honey,
I am not sure if this year has gone by fast or slow for me but it is here.  I can still remember vividly from a year ago what I went through up to now. Let say it wasn't easy but I think I made it. I still think of you all the time even though it may not seem like it or even when I'm having fun with friends. It has been hard for me to write to you because it bring back so much memories that I want to put behind me and just focus on our kids. I will always cherish all the great memories we had together.
Our kids are doing great and are growing so fast especially Josh for being able to understand and help out. Maddie is such a performer, she love to sing and even make up her own songs and like you, she love to dance. Every time I look at her, I see little you. She look very much like you hon. 
I hope you are doing well up there! I know you are watching out for us because I can sometime sense it. Just help me guide our kids in the right direction ok! I still love you very much sweetheart

My dear sweet little sister,
I took Mom to see you yesterday.  We sat there talking to you, and we miss you so much!!! Our lives have changed a lot since you left.  Dad has joined you recently up there.  I hope that you, Dad, and Robert are watching over us.  (Don't party too hard though.)  Ben is doing a great job raising Josh and Maddie.  Josh is a nice sweet boy and doing well in school.  Maddie is an intelligent little girl who knows so much for her age.  I'm thankful that I can watch them grow everyday.  Maddie looks so much like you in so many ways.  She is bonding with mom now, and sometimes, she stays home to spend time with mom. 
Bobby and Valerie miss you a lot also.  We talk about you daily.  Maybe that will make you sneeze or something up there :-)
Love you sis!  I know you're always with me.

Kim,

   On May 2, 2012 marks the sadest day for the Phan and the Nguyen family. I can't imagine it has been a year already. Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts (good times and bad times). You did so much for our family. I'm greatful that you were in our lives. I just wish it would have been longer. Evan still talks about you. He says he misses you and your cooking. You are known the best for that. Right? If Evan is still talking about you and remembering you, I,m sure Maddie is still asking for you too. Every time I see her, I see little Kim. She resembles you in so many ways. she will become a beatiful person just like you. Joshua is getting big and tall too. He going to be 10 now. Almost a teenager. Wow, how time flies.  Ben is helping James build his practice. He is James right wingman. All of us are moving on with our lives but I just wish you were here to share it with us. You take care of yourself up there. Until we meet again.

Hi auntie kim. Where do I begin? Yet where does the thought end? I miss you more than I have ever thought I would. I would like to thank you for the life joys and lessons you have brought to me, I keep going around the fact you're on vacation. That you'll come back soon and you will call my mom and invite us to eat at your house. You were beautiful, you opened your heart, your home, and your aspirations to all of us. I am very blessed to have had you in my life. What you've taught me in life, is that success shouldn't bring wealth in money, it should bring you wealth in the heart, and if you love what you're doing, you have the world. I aspire to be just as you were, and I know if you can tell me, you'd probably tell me I have to be better. Which I am going to pursue to be. Maddie and josh have grown so much. And I've grown on them as well. They are beautiful auntie kim. Who knew Madison would grow to be such and intelligent four year old, and josh being able to do things on his own. Uncle Ben is a great dad, and I am so proud of how far he has come. Though the end to a chapter is only the beginning to a new one, he got through the worse and now it's getting better. Thank you, for not just giving me the strength but for giving me vision. Vision to see what life can be if you live it while you love and enjoy along the way. You showed me what family is. And for that, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I know I've never got to thank you for all the vacations and all the laughter, so I want to thank you now. For giving me a great youth, and bringing my family along on your journey to experience and endure life. Thank you for helping me grasp that life is fragile, and we should care for it and nurture it. I love you forever and always. -M

Hi Kim,

I have not wrote to you lately, I cannot believed it has been 7 months without you in this world.  You have came to my mind a lot lately, there are no minutes that I'm not thinking of you.  

Last Christmas was very hard for me, even though our family got together but it's not the same without you.  I missed to see all the beautiful gifts wrap and bows that you always made every year, inside of me I feel so empty.  I missed your sweet voice, your laughter, your sense of humor, and your beautiful smile.

I still cannot accept that why god take you away so soon especially a nice person like you, I thought god brought you to this world is to save, help and guide people that need your love and care.  Life is not fair at all, why it always happen to a nice people.

I missed you a lot my beautiful sister in-law, always love you and you will always be in my thought.  I will not say good bye, to you with my big hug and many kisses.

Love,

My dear sweet little sister,
It's Christmas today.  We went to see you yesterday.  Did you feel our present?  Did you like the flowers?  I miss you so much!!!  The holidays are not the same without you.  I miss your gift wrapping, your cooking, your laughter, your bubbly personality...Part of me still hasn't fully accepted the fact that you're gone.  I keep thinking one day you will come back to us.  

Till we meet again!
Love you,
Your sister

End of 2012 is here!  As we're the families & your group of friends try to put the thought behind of you're not here is not easy. 
What's color & decoration of your tree this year?  They're  in the closet waiting  for you to pull it out, let see, hummmmh........
You had pink, blue, tradition red, white,  oh is going to be green. Cause you're not touch it.  You always so festived this time of the year & we'll miss your warping gifts!
It's ok now, you'll be on the top of our trees this year & many more, so don't move just look down on us, use your wings to protect all of us & your loves one.  
Deeply miss you 4ever.

Kim,

Can't believe 6 months has gone by without you, now the holidays are near and I know Christmas is your favorite holiday.  This year will not be the same, you know that every year come close to the end of the year I always shared with you that Christmas always made me feel depress, now I feel even worse.

Every time I hear Christmas music it makes me cry, yesterday I went to see the lighting with my kids and they  sing all the Christmas music suddenly my tears just flow down like a river because it reminds me so much of you.  So this year I will not be participate in any of the event because I don't think I can do it.

I missed you a lot my beautiful sister in-law, I wish you are here so I can hug you, kiss you and say I love you.

Kim,

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. It's not the same without you in our lives. Evan and Maddie still ask about you. We just celebrated Maddie's 4th Birthday. She wanted a jump house for birthday and she got it. Maddie had a great time. We are getting ready to go to Legoland and Disneyland with the kids, the trip that we planned a year ago.  The year is going by so fast and the kids are growing fast too. The winter holidays are coming, your favorite time of the season. I'll miss your beautiful Christmas wrappings. I'm sorry but I don't feel very festive this season without you. I wish you can come back.

Hi Kim, my best sister in law!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been so long I didnt write to you. It's not that I had forgot about you but every time I read what people wrote to you, I feel so sad & my tears come out. I missed so much Kim, I wish I can turn around time so you can come back to us. Since you gone our family are not the same any more, to me it's not. You will never be forget, everything I do I always think of you, you're the best sister in law any body can ask for.
Love you always my sis in law

My beloved Sister n Law
Watching you go away from us is already hard but watching 2 Bac  go on with their life is harder. They been keep busy with daily routines, Grand children & their Buhdisum strong believe are help them heal.
We kids are & will take care 2 Bac like you had take care us before. Thanks you for set the loving role model for us to learn in life, god must send you to teach us how to loves, share, giving to the others, named you had it all Kim.
Our hearts still with you & be with you ever since, Holidays comes & goes but this year it seem like gone forever because our ANGEL
is not on our tree.
Loves you to my last breath,Kim

My beautiful sister,
It has been 6 months without you.  Not a single day gone by that we (the kids and I) don't think about you.  We miss you so much Kim!!! I try not to cry right now, but it is very hard. Valerie told me yesterday morning that she thought of you all the time, and how much she wished that you're still here.  Bobby feels the same, but he isn't expressing his feeling very much.  How are you doing up there?  Are you planning big parties?  I hope you and Robert don't go out and party every day :)  Don't worry about your kids.  Ben is doing good job taking care of them.  And I know you're watching over all of us.  I'm sorry I missed your wedding anniversary this year.  I think it's the first time I missed it.  Life is forever changed without you.  I hope you continue to come to my dreams, so we can spend more time.  Last time, we went shopping, but I didn't even have a chance to buy anything before my alarm woke me up.  You were so happy though.  And it felt real, so real, to me.  

See you again in my dreams soon, my little sister.

Love you!

My Dearest Friend,
Ben and I finally got to meet for lunch today. The day was beautiful and the sun was shining.  We ate at one of yours and my favorite lunch spots.  It helped both Ben and I to be able to talk and express our feelings of how much we miss you.  Everybody does. I gave Ben some toys for Maddie and Joshua.  I hope they have fun playing with them. I will always be in their life. You were in my heart today and always will be. Ben is strong and he will be okay.  Shine on us always. Love you, Carolyn

Happy anniversary Ben & Kim.  I still remember a week before your wedding we went to Pak and Save to buy a bunch of 2 liter sodas. At that time I just had my surgery but still manage to hobble along to help you with the sodas. 
Can't believe that it has been almost 6 months gone by without you in our lives. Ben and the kids are doing good but occasionally Maddie still ask for you and she misses you very much. When Maddie grows up, all of us will tell that she had the most beautiful and warm hearted mother in the world. We will tell her that you love her more than anything in the world and always watch her from above. BTW Rachel told me that she misses you everyday and that also goes for all of us.

Happy 15th wedding Anniversary Honey! October 18th is a day I will never forget because on this day back in 1988 is when we went on our first date together and then 9 years later we got married on this very same date.
Gosh I still miss you a lot and wish everyday I wake up for things will be back to normal. Our kids also miss you very much, Josh is old enough to understand that you are not coming home, but for Maddie occasionally ask me "when is Mommy coming home?" It always breaks my heart everytime she asked me. Don't worry they are in good hands with all the love and support from famlies and friends. Btw I miss your cooking so much!!!

Love You
Ben


To all of Families and Friends,
 I just want to give a sincere Thank You for all of your true love and support you showed for Kim and to my family through this very difficult time. I know I couldn't have made it this far without your help.

Hi Co Kim,

Words can't express how much you are truly missed everytime we have a family function. From the sleepless nights to the occasional tears. On behalf of the Nguyen family, thank you for being the loving and kind-hearted person that you are. I want to thank you again for helping me through school. Only you and I know what obstacles we endured to get there. My success today is because you helped me make that happen. Yesterday we ate crawdads at Kristines house and everytime I heard that shell crack, all  I thought about was you. Knowing you, you would call me every weekend to buy them and to get 1 extra bucket for Co Huong and Valerie. This time we made sure they got some in honor of you. Even though your not here with us today, your spirit continues to live on through you seeds. From Joshua's pointed ears (lol) to Mady' smile because everytime I look at her I see a mirror image of you and find myself gazing into her eyes. I always tell people that when you leave someone it is never goodbye but a....I WILL SEE YOU LATER. My LOVE for you Co Kim is neverending so until we meet again...........

Hey Kim,
I just got back from Boston 2 days ago, as I remember the last time we went to Boston together we had so much fun, you visited your friend & I visited my friend and then we end up meet each other to go places. I can't believed you had gone out of our picture for 3 months already, it's start healing a little but we never forget you. As I looked at Joshua & Madi my tears still come out. I don't want take reality but I guess I have to. I missed so much Kim there're no more fun without you, everything I do or everywhere I go I'm always thinking of you. I had missed you so much Kim.
Love you Kim!!!!!!!!!

Hey You,

It's been 3 months since we last spoke. How have you been?  I've been working a lot to occupy myself, but not a day goes by that I don't think about you.

When your sister told me that the Guest Book was still open, I wanted to write to you.  It's not the same without you Kim.  You are irreplaceable.  I feel as if you are just on a long, very long vacation.  Oh, yesterday Maddie brightened my day when she nodded and said 'yes' when I asked if she wanted to go somewhere fun with me.  I have so much to share and talk to you about, and so we will have to catch up someday.  I miss you.

It is so hard to let go because all of us still have so much love for you Kim. I'm sure that you could not be happier if we will maintain that love and pass it to Joshua and Maddie as they continue to grow. I know that Ben is staying strong and keeping things in perspective because he has two young children to raise. With the help and support from family and friends Ben, Joshua and Maddie will be just fine and I know that you are smiling up there looking down.

Being away from home here in the different state(ARIZONA) to fresh up my mind still not stopping me thinking about you Kim.
That mean you haven't gone away from my heart & so all the one who loves you.  Three months gone by with the slowly healing hurts & pains without you,watching your children grow it the most hardness thing we facing.
Clock haven't stop, our lives haven't stop , our loves for you haven't stop, but we have to stop finding you here in this world.
We have finish this journey to meet you @the end, we'll be with you Kim forever

Kim, 

Yes, I can't believe it either, it has been 3 mos. that you left us.  I missed you dearly, every time I look at your picture I wish that you would come back to us in real bone and blood so I can hug you, kiss you and say to you that I love you.

I'm sure whereever you are at right now, you will be always looking down to us and be with us at all times.  I missed you and love you very much my little sister in-law.

The name Kim is still prolong in my heart as an angel  came to our life, gave the pleasures to all whos know her & around her.
Loves for her is like  the endless  stream,  but for all of us as the families & the friends we have to leave the river to move on to our journeys without it
She will always be  with us, watching us to laugh, strong, loving each  other like she di

Celeste, it is so hard I know.  I am having a hard time accepting Kim is gone too and sometimes I wake up thinking I am dreaming.  I know as her sister, it is even more difficult for you.  We just keep asking why her? She touched our lives so much.  This is my first writing since I wrote right after she left us.  Very hard to write, but your words inspired me to do so.  I will always have a place for Kim in my heart.

Kim, it's been 3 months without you.  I still haven't accepted the fact that you're gone.  Everyday I wake up and wait.  What am I waiting for?  I'm not quite sure, but I think I'm waiting for you to come back.  Sounds crazy doesn't it?  Till we meet again, my little sis!

Hi Kim, I know everyone still miss you very much and wishing that you were still here with us. I would never thought that something like this would hit so close to home. All of us suppose to gracefully grow old together and watch our children grow. There are many good things and bad things happen in life, we all just have to deal with whatever cards are dealt to us.  I just want to thank Kristine for keeping this book open so that we all can share our feelings and thoughts with Kim.

Hi Kim,I'm missed you so much. Last Saturday I was dancing cha cha cha with Ben holding Madi in his arm, It make me so sad that should be you dancing with him not me. I had your picture tape in front of my computer & every time I looked at that your picture I cried, how could you leave us like this. We went through so many good times & bad times together, to me still like a dream not reality Kim. I will never forget my sweet & lovely sister-in-law until the day we meet again. Love you so much Kim!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kim, it's not the same any more without you being here with all of us, especially birthdays and holidays. You would always remember everyone's birthday and you would set up a gathering to celebrate. I still remember the first birthday celebration that you'd set up for me was in 1993 at Rick and Twee's old apartment in Greeenhaven. I still clearly remember the last word that you said to me, it was at your house on Saturday 4/28 Nam did you put celantro and green onion in your "bun bo hue". You would always care, thinking and look out for others. I know Buddha will bless you and guide you to heaven. We will always love you.

Today is the sadness day for me to remember you were born to this world. How did we go through the pain for last month now that you in heaven?  Words can't  describe how much I miss you, hear your voice, see you cherish at all times. 
Why did you leave us here? There are too much more times we  want be by your side, to thanks for all the good memories you been provided for all of us.
Miss you so much that I was cried while we visit Tahoe for day trip.
I love you Kim, my angle came to my life & our families

Happy 42nd B-Day my sister in-law, I know you are up there to look down on us.  I wish you are still here so we can celebrate your special day.

I missed you a lot Kim, still just like a dream to me cannot accepted it yet.  

Luv you very much

Happy 42nd Birthday Kim,

You are deeply missed but I know you are looking after us with a smile.  I love you a lot my dear Kim.

Happy Bithday Kim!!!
You always loved my birthday card that I gave to you because it's had the nicest meaning. You told me you had kept all my cards so when you getting old you can read them again. I missed you so much & I always thinking of you, who's going to read my birthday card now? You're the best sister in law any body can ask for.
Love you always

Hi Kim,

I can't believe that you've been gone and disappeared from our life a month already.  I missed you a lot, now every time when the day is cloudy then I will think of you because the last voicemail that you left for me was "today is cloudy, it reminded me of you chi, so I just want to called you to cheer you up chi" I will carried that with me for the rest of my life, also since Ben told me of your favorite song "Somebody that I used to know" by Gotye, it makes me cry every time it plays on the radio station it became my favorite too.  

What I'm trying to say Kim, I missed your cheerful voice and beautiful smile every time I come down to your house now, you had brought so many memories and love to our family and thank you for all the things you have done for our family.  You're an angel that Phat has sent you to us.

You will always be missed and we always love you very much, you will never be forget.

Hey u its me, your oldest nephew....My birthday this week on Saturday. I want u to be there. U better not flake on me or  Im gonna kick your butt next time I see you...keke  keke...Come and join us for one of those crazy  days...luv  you  so much  &  I miss u  more

Kim, I remember the time we went to High School together. We had lots of fun and good memory during that time.  I will never forget you my dear. May you rest in peace.

Our prayers are with you.
Bjorn & Birgitte Pedersen

Loves you too much, miss you as much

Hi Kim, this is chi Phuong. I had missed you so much, every time I'm thinking of you my tears came out. When you left us you had taken a big chunk in my heart with you, it's hurt so bad Kim. There're so many memories with our family, my kids always looked up to their "Co Kim". Tell you this you will never be forgotten & always be my loving sister-in-law & my kids favorite aunt. One day we will meet again Kim, I love you so much.

As we think back and remember how Kim touched our lives--her warm presence, kindness, gracefulness, and bright smile-- we are forever grateful that we had a chance to have known someone as special and beautiful as Kim.

Hi Kim, this is me Nam (cuz you've been calling by this name ever since you met Ben)I just want to know that there is not a single day gone by that me and Rachel are not thinking about you. We all miss you very much, love you so much and you will forever be in our hearts. You know everyone in our family have strong bonding and care for each other a lot. We all will do our best to help Ben raise Maddie and Josh to be fine people so that you will be so proud. I've told you this before and will say it again, that Maddie and Lauren will grow up together love each other and care for each other like sisters. We will always love you.

I was saddened and still in disbelief. I will miss the long talks and laughters we've shared. You will always remain in my heart and my thoughts.

Kim, you were more than my sister-in-law to me, you were my best friend, my Oprah, my Dr. Phil.  You are the most compassionate and generous person I know. You put everybodies happiness before your. That gives you enjoyment. I want to set an example for your kids by living your philosophies. You are my angel and you are my guiding light. I love you and miss you so much.

I am deeply saddened that you are no longer with us Kim. I remember our last conversation in February. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Kim and to Ben and to your beautiful children. I pray you are now at peace but fell deep sorrow for your family. I'm grateful to have known you. I will miss you.

I luv u still, but there so much I that I haven t got a chance to say. Hopefully we catch up soon...til next time   I  LUV  U  CO KIM  ....

Hey co Kim, its me Chris. Its been awhile since you I ve talked but when we do, its always about succeeding n taking on new challenges. I never got to say thanks for the positive motivation.   Thank you.  In doing that, you also help ne accept life for what it is and o be strong during sudden changes that occur.  I just wish you would have atleast  told  someone something before you leave...jeez...

Honey, there are no words in this world to describe the pain I have inside me right now. You mean the world to me and our children. You are the anchor of our family. Our kids and I misses you greatly. There is not a single minute that goes by without you going through my mind. Thank You for the wonderful 24 1/2 years together with great memories to cherish. Right now I don't know how to move on but I must somehow to raise our young children for you to be proud of me. I love you so much and one day we will be together again. I won't say bye but I will say see you later my love.

My memories of you will forever be imprinted in my heart.  I am grateful for our friendship of over 20 years.  You lifted me up when I was down, comforting and giving me strength.  I will miss you forever until we meet again.  Rest a peaceful sleep my dearest friend.

Chi Kim, I cannot believe that the world has lost your light.  My heart breaks for your beautiful children because I know how much you love them.  You were always so nice to me and helped me so much.  Thank you for being my friend.  I hold you in my heart always and pray for your family.  Rest in peace.
