Dear Ben and Tony,

We will miss our dear Sam for sure.  She was kind, wonderful and caring.  Please let us know if there's anything we can help.

NHƯ Ý HOÀNG ( bạn of Trish Hồng )

Gửi đến Trish Hồng và gia đình.

Chị thành tâm chia buồn sâu sắc đến nỗi đau mất mát quá lớn này của e và gia đình.

Được tin Bác gái mất chị rất buồn và thương xót . 

Vậy là cuộc dạo chơi của Bác gái đến Trần gian này đã hết . Bác đã được giải thoát khỏi những cơn đau bệnh tật hành hạ thân thể . 
Bác gái ra đi đã để lại cho Thế gian 1 khối tài sản vô cùng giá trị và nhân văn. Đó là các Anh , các Chị , các Em  và các Cháu  Nội , cháu Ngoại , hiếu thảo ,ngoan hiền , thành đạt cho đời . Công lao Biển Trời của Bác khó có gì sánh được.

Con nghĩ , Bác chỉ tạm rời xa Thế gian chỉ bằng tấm thân xác mà tạo hóa ban cho thôi. Nhưng tâm hồn và tình cảm gia đình của Bác gái luôn in sâu trong tâm khảm của các con và các cháu không bao giờ phai.

Nên Bác yên lòng Bác ơi . Con ở phương xa không biết làm gì được cho Bác gái lúc này . Con xin thành tâm cúi đầu trước hương linh Bác , xin Bác nhận cho con 1 lạy tạ từ .
Ngày đêm con nguyện cầu cho hương linh của Bác gái sớm được siêu thoát nhẹ nhàng , vãng sanh về cõi Tây Phương cực lạc , cảnh giới của Đức Phật A Di Đà 🙏

Con xin thành kính phân ưu cùng đại gia đình và tiễn biệt Bác gái. Nguyện cầu Bác gái về nơi ấy bình an. 🙏

To one of my favorite people in the world,

Nene, I miss you so much. I will never forget the afternoons spent taking naps with you as a kid at the old house or all those times when you asked me to help with your puzzles. I’m going to miss changing the TV channel for you and helping you call Thai Cua when she was at Daiso. I am so thankful for everything you’ve ever helped me do and you’re truly responsible for the person I am today. I’m so grateful that you let me spend my thanksgiving break with you, even though I spent half of the time annoying you with questions or making bad jokes. All of the milestones that await us are never going to be the same without you but I know that every holiday you were here for is going to be one that I cherish for the rest of my life. I love you so much and I’m going to spend every day remembering you.

To Trish Hong and family: 
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We know how important she is to your life.  Our hearts are with you in this time of sorrow.
From: Chau and Khoi.

You could always put a smile on anybody’s face by simply looking and smiling at them. Every time I walked down the hall, you would smile at me as you rode your exercise bike. This and a million other things about you always made me smile.

In the last 7 years I’ve lived with you I’ve had the pleasure of helping you with many things. I loved how every time you fell and would see me coming to get you you’d reach your arms out for me because you knew I was going to pick you up. I loved turning on the TV for you to the right Vietnamese channel or asking you which YouTube video you wanted to watch by pointing at the screen and looking for your nod of approval. There were also many times I’d be walking by your room and you’d say “Nick Nick hep me call Thai Cua”. Probably my most favorite thing of all that you would say to me was “thank you”. You would always say it with a bright smile and it would make me feel extremely gratified and honored that I was able to impact you in a positive way, even if it was a small thing. Every time I picked you up, turned your TV on, or got Thai Cua for you, I would get to see you smile and say thank you and I will always be grateful for that.

My top love language is quality time and to me, you don’t always need to talk to someone to have quality time with them, sometimes you just need their presence. Every Mother’s Day, birthday, graduation, or any celebration, you were there watching it all, smiling at us, and taking pictures with us. These events now will not be the same without you, but I know everyone will remember how great it felt to have you there in our presence. You will still be in our presence on celebratory days, but it will just be in a different way now. I’m excited to continue to celebrate the big events with you. 

You’re gone physically, but you will always be in my heart and my mind. I’ll always see you and your smile around the house and I will always think of you on big days.  We'll all love and miss you.

Love, 
Nick

I am so sorry. Losing a loved one is always an unpleasant experience. As we get older we will go through losing people who are dear and close to us. This is a reminder that this life is temporary and we should always be prepared to depart from this worldly life. In all this sadness lays God's unparalleled mercy to remind us to be kind to others and stand for what is right and oppose what is wrong.
May God have mercy on her soul and grant  her loved ones patience and endurance through these difficult time.
Love Saeid

Pat and Hoa vả gia đinh,
Má thương, sự ra đi của Má nó đã làm con không tưởng mấy ngày nay khi con nhớ về Má. Đành vậy có lúc con cũng đã nói với Ba rằng Ba có linh thiêng với lời nguyền của con cho Má được khỏe hay Ba tìm cách về rước Má đi để Má khỏi phải mệt mỏi tấm thân của Má. Má ơi không còn những ngày cuối tuần cùng Má đi bộ, Má ơi con nhớ mãi nhũng khi Má mỏi mệt Má nói gắt với con, con cũng nhớ mãi lúc con nói rằng con sẽ đẩy Má trên chiếc xe lăn, Má cười rất tươi vi Má biết được đầy di. Má ơi, Hoa đã nấu nhiều thức ăn để ăn, mong thức ăn để ăn làm cho Má ăn ngon mau mạnh Thôi rồi tất cả những hinh ảnh và những kỷ niệm Má con minh và  gia dinh chỉ còn lại trong ký ức. Con thương Má nhiều. 
Phát con và gia đình kính Má.

I had the opportunity to live with Nene for 5 years. And even though I didn’t speak (and still don’t) a lick of Vietnamese, we still found ways to communicate when it was necessary… aka if she dropped something or was looking for one of her daughters. She would always whisper “thank you” and let out a giggle when I had done what I assumed was asked of me. Even though we didn’t speak the same language, her smile would light up the room. That smile was always so big whenever Troy walked in the room.  Eventually Troy and I moved out and that smile began to be shared with me whenever we came over♥️ That smile and our quiet communication will be missed so dearly. I’ll miss the way I would want to just touch her fluffy white hair but I would ask Troy to do it first so he would take the heat if there was any, or the way I would always want to squeeze her sweet face but I never did because I didn’t want to freak her out. I will miss the way she watched us whenever we swam. I’m thankful & grateful she welcomed me and would treat me like she did Troy, Steffi & Audrey in the time we lived together. We will miss you dearly Nene.

Thành Kính Phân Ưu đến đại tang quyến chi Trish Hong ! May Her Soul Rest In Peace 🙏

Thương kính Má
Úc & Thành

I was honored to be by your side, taking care of you during your last days, hours, minutes and your final moments, considering the lifetime of lessons and memories we shared together. In some nights, I am happy and in others, I am sad when I think about you and all the times we have spent together.  I have not yet come to terms with the fact that you are no longer here when I return home from work. The question still remains in my mind: Where is my mother? You assisted me in raising two grandchildren who are now adults, have successful careers and are leading fulfilling lives.  It was you who inspired them to become amazing human beings. Thank Mom and dad for everything. I do not know how to express my gratitude. Parents are like the sea and the sky; they work together to accomplish their goals despite the highs and lows.  I vow to live through the lessons and tribulations of our time together and continue to learn, to impower those around me through love and care to be worthy of Mom's child.

Love 
Trish &Steven

Thương kính gởi đến Ba & Má, Ông Bà của các con cháu.
Gần 10 năm rồi đó, Ba ra đi Má lẻ loi, các con chăm sóc, chia sẻ vui buồn bên nhau.  Tang lễ của Ba. Má không có giọt nước mắt, nhưng vài hôm sau Má nhập viện.. và những lần sau đó mỗi lúc xe cứu thương đến để đưa Má vào bệnh viện là tim con nhói như ai thắt lấy nó.. cố giữ cho nước mắt chảy ngược giòng..chưa xa mà đã xót, đã đau…

Thế rồi các em cùng dọn về để lo cho Má.  Gia Đình nhỏ của hai em đã cùng dọn về và chúng con chung tay chăm sóc Má.  Đức, Phụng và Thành, Úc đã mất mát những giờ phút riêng tư để
Nhìn Má vui hưởng những ngày tháng qua bên cạnh các con..con vững lòng ngờ mình sẽ mãi có Má bên cạnh để được chăm sóc…rồi Má yếu dần đi cho đến lần nhập viện sau cùng.  Má nói con hát “ ầu ơi dí dầu “ cho Má nghe đi…ừ con hát Má nghe.. Má nghe rồi ngũ ngon nha Má..
Ầu ơ dí dầu…. 
Cầu ván đóng đinh
Cầu tre lắt lẻo
Gập gềnh khó đi
Khó đi Mẹ dắt con đi
Con đi trường học Mẹ đi trường đời.. ầu ơ ơ ờ ờ Má ơi…
Má ơi Má ngủ cho ngon
Cho con gối Mẹ như còn bé con…
À ơi ơi à Má tôi yên giấc
Tôi thời nhớ Mẹ ruột đau như cắt
Đôi ngã đôi đường từ đây
Duong Trần con ở Má thời nơi đâu…
Yêu thương, học tập, chia sẻ, cần kiệm và rộng lượng, những gì con học tập từ Má là những bước đi con mong và bước cho đến ngày mình lại bên nhau:  
Ầu ơ ơ ờ ờ..Má ngủ ngon nha!

Yêu thương của Má - Gia đình Ta

Ringing in the new year with a mocktail! January 2021

Nene treated Jade like a little princess!

Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing my grandma knows she loved being surrounded by people. Her eyes would light up at the sight of a full house. As she sat at her little table for dinner every night, she would look at the reflection in the window to see a kitchen island full of people and smile. Over the last few months, we’ve gotten comment after comment from doctors, nurses, and security guards about how they’ve never seen a patient with so much support, with a constant revolving door of visitors just one after the next after the next.

She was a force and we were privileged with the opportunity to be in her presence. While she couldn't always communicate in the same language, her essence was known by everyone, my husband included.

I’m so grateful for the many celebrations we’ve had over the last few years. And I’m so grateful to have been apart of her day-to-day life. She always shared her food with the dogs even after we asked her not to. She loved playing games on her iPad and would end up almost accidentally buying something after clicking on ads. She did not want to eat yogurt or fruit for breakfast, but she wanted coffee with bread or cereal. After completing a puzzle once, she would number the back of the puzzle pieces with a sharpie so it would be easy for her to reassemble next time. 

I will miss running across the house to her room at the sound of a small thud to pick up whatever it is that she dropped before she tried to get it herself. Or running to her room when she's yelling as if there is an emergency, just for her to ask "where is everyone" or "can you change the video, this singer isn't very good." 

We've created so many memories that will be cherished forever.

This is bittersweet. We miss you already but know that you’re thriving with Grandpa, Jordan, and Oreo. You raised us all strong and taught us how to take care of each other, so you’ve got nothing to worry about. You are so loved and we all can’t wait to see you again.

Steffi will celebrate her graduation with her grandmother in 2023.

Mom's 87th birthday in 2023 with Troy's grandson.

My grandma lived a long loving life; cared for by her 6 children. Since I was a little kid and shaping me to be the person I am today I owe a lot to her. She would always made sure I ate every time she saw me no matter if I just came home from school or just coming over to say hi. She was the one who who would entertain me when I played outside and believe it or not she was the one who taught me how to ride a bike. I remember it as if it was yesterday finally riding my bike without training wheels and looking back seeing her smile. My grandma always had unconditional love for me and had no problem showing it. She made me my favorite pillow, which she also restitch, and I still have to this day. Our connection grew when we lived in the same household. I’d do anything to see her smile or have a silly reaction. Tapping her shoulder while being on the other side or just giving her a little tap on her helmet she wore every time I’d see her. Even though She wouldn’t say anything she would just turn to see who it was and when she saw it was me she just smiled. As I moved out, every time I would come and visit she would say hi and smile at me  and when I left we would give each other a little sniff. Dealing with her passing isn’t any easy task to say the least, but knowing she isn’t in pain and has been reunited with my grandpa; there isn’t more I could ask for. She always been strong woman that fought until she couldn’t anymore. You can relax now. We will take it from here. We are nothing without you. I never had the chance to actually say thank you your impact you’ve had ever since I was born. The tears we cry are not only tears of sadness and grief but also happiness and gratitude. Enjoy the after life and catching up with your husband. I hope we all continue to make you and grandpa proud. Until we meet again. Never goodbye, always see you later ne<3 
Rest in Paradise.
