My deepest condolences to you and your family.  


Rob & Mary, my deepest condolences to you and your family. Bua will be deeply missed. She was such a sweet and gentle soul. May her legacy live on through you both. May she rest in eternal peace. 

Our hearts and prayers are with your family during this hard time.

A living tribute to a beautiful spirit.     Please remember that you are not alone...we are always here for you.

Bua was always like a second mother to me. She was such a sweet and loving woman, who always made you feel part of the family. I always enjoyed the times we got to spend talking together. I loved hearing about her passion for the Miami Heat, Tiger Woods, and her knowledge of plants. She exuded such a natural calming and peaceful presence. It was an honor being close with such a strong woman. Love you dearly forever Bua.

My favorite memory of my Aunt Bua was her love for her family!  She was such an amazing lady that took such great care of everyone!  She always had a smile on her face no matter what, and hands down was the best cook ever!  She will truly be missed!  Sending lots of prayers and love to you Mary, Robert and Kim!

Love you all,

Holly & Pete

My Aunt Bua was one of a kind and easily one of the sweetest, most good-natured people you could ever hope to meet.  I always looked forward to the trips my parents and I would take to Homestead to visit and without fail we were always met with that warmth and that loving smile.  I will miss her greatly.  All of my love to Rob, Mary and Kim.  

Although I was never fortunate enough to meet Bua, she has impacted my life. Through the graciousness of her daughter, I came to know her as good-hearted mother who taught her children to be compassionate and altruistic individuals. My friendship with Mary has afforded me some of Bua's spirit and wisdom. Her belief's, which her daughter shares, have taught me a peace I would otherwise not know. Her beautiful soul will continue to be loved and remembered. For her gifts to this world, I will be forever grateful.

I remember when my brother, Jim, first brought Bua, Jimmie, and Mary from Thailand to the states. We laughed so hard together at my mom’s  house trying to understand her. She knew little to no English but with that infectious smile , we seemed to communicate. She had a heart of gold, filled with love for her family. When we moved to Florida, years later, we had wonderful times together. She will be missed.
