DEAR GIAO,

PLEASE ACCEPT MY DEEPEST AND HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF YOUR MOM. IT IS ALWAYS HARD TO LOSE ONE'S DEAREST, BUT SHE IS AT PEACE AND AT A BETTER PLACE NOW. 

THE ANGELS WERE WATCHING OVER HER DURING HER EARTHLY LIFE. SHE IS AMONGST THE ANGELS NOW. NO DOUBT SHE IS WATCHING OVER ALL IN HER FAMILY WITH LOVE, AFFECTION,  AND PROTECTION. 

THERE IS DEEP SADNESS IN MISSING HER FOR SURE. BUT IT IS ALSO TIME TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE. LET'S RECALL ALL THE KINDNESS AND LOVE SHE LEFT IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. 

LIFE IS INDEED A JOURNEY. SHE HAS NOT LEFT US. SHE IS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT WENT BEFORE US. SHE IS AT PEACE. 

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.

ASL

To sister Tuongvi who was with Mom in the last minute of her departure.

IT'S YOUR DEPARTURE
MY SOUL'S LOST
MY HEART SHATTERS
PAIN, TEARS, DESPERATION

I AM NO LONGER SEEING YOU
TALKING TO YOU
CARING FOR YOU
ALL'S GONE!

WHEN YOU'RE IN BED
YOU WERE ILL ALTHOUGH
YOUR EFFORT WAS TO COMFORT ME
GIVING ME THE FEELING OF SECURE
THE ASSURANCE OF HOPE.
I WALKED THROUGH PAIN EACH MOMENT WITH YOU
LAID UP NEXT TO YOU
FOLLOWED YOUR BREATH
AND GAVE YOU STRENGTH.

AT THE MOMENT OF SEPARATION
I RECALLED HOW YOU PROTECTED ME
YOU CARRIED ME WHEN I WAS BORN
THE BURDEN OF YOUR JOURNEYS
JUST TO GIVE ME LIFE.

YOU PACKED ME A GENTLE HEART
A CARING LOVE
THANKING OF YOUR INHERITANCE
WHO I AM TODAY.

MOTHER!
IT'S TIME FOR US TO SAY GOODBYE!
IF I HAD ANOTHER LIFE
ANOTHER CHANCE
ANOTHER TIME
I WON'T REGRET
STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN
WALKING THROUGH PAIN WITH YOU
BEING A CHILD IN YOUR ARMS.

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
 Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

To dearest Mama Kim, Myha, Kelly & Tony:
My thoughts and heart with you in these times for a loss of a mother.  Mothers are God's representation on earth for an unconditional love.  There is no such person greater than a mother.  When my mother died in March 2012 i felt half of me had died too.  But along i understood that she is now in a better place with her Creator, there is no more sorrow nor tears.  I could imagine how awesome your mom is for raising such wonderful children and grandchildren like you, and how smiling she is now that what she had left on earth is truly a legacy.  

Love & Prayers,

To dear Jane & Jo 

I was very sorry to hear of your mother's death. I am at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness for you & your family.  Having lost my mom two years ago, I know full well the grief and sadness you are feeling right now.

I had the blessed opportunity of knowing your mom. She was such a beautiful person, inside and out. I feel so fortunate to have known her and she will be truly missed. We share in your grief and extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family & praying that your faith will give you strength in this sad and difficult time.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

My Dearest Mimi:

Darling please accept my humble condolences,

There are no words adequate to describe the loss of your Gma.  Her importance in your life is evident by all you say and do.  Please believe that in time the sadness in your heart will be replaced by your fond memories of Gma.

I know that Gma will be watching over and looking out for you and that her example will guide you forever through your life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

With Love

 To be honest, I had a hard time putting this eulogy together. No matter how hard I try, I can never do justice to what my grandmother overcame in her lifetime. I know we are all grieving today for we all lost a great lady. However, I know wherever she is now; she is happy and contented with what she left us.
My grandmother was a kind person who would think about other people before her. She never liked asking for help but she was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. She would do everything in her power to help other people. 
My grandmother, in her own way, was able to show us how important we all were to her. We may no longer see her but we will always have these special moments we shared with her. She will always have a special part in our hearts. Let's just be thankful that we knew a special lady like my grandmother.

Our deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. May you find peace and comfort in the memories you cherish. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you.

Your Mum is my dearest Aunt I ever had. I have every reason to love and respect her for not only she is my Dad's closest sister - their physical resemblance, the common sweetness of their soul, but also the righteousness they consistently held in treatment to other.  
I always felt warm being near her - many times wondered if it was natural for my Aunt and my Dad were close siblings. So much actually came from her magic ability to make things surrounding her beautiful and people around her feel comfortable, feel cared for.  When I was a young girl I used to try imitating the way she sat, the way she tossed her hair, so much mesmerizing beauty in a natural way, from simple elegant gestures that she made. But in vain was my success! Her meals were the best homemade foods I've ever had. They were more than just a meal â€“ they were made by a wonderful cook, and by a caring mother who could balance a tight budget with creating the food joy for her family, going through the most difficult time:  Countless small things but mean so much like almost everything. I was always shy to express my feeling to her. My trip 4 years ago was for the purpose for myself and my Mum to be with her one more time. So good-bye my Dear Aunt. As you had gone, gone the most beautiful woman and most wonderful mother I have ever known, with the full meaning of the word BEAUTY.

 Just got into work today in Binh Duong.

We Will Miss You, Grandmother! 
A poem in memory of you: 
I think about you all the time,
And everyday it hurts to cry.
So much has happened in my life,
I'm not sure how hard to try.

Tears are falling constantly,
My heart hurts everyday.
I think about your beautiful smile,
That I pray I see again someday.

The sweet smell of your perfume,
Has slowly faded away.
But all your helpful teachings,
Are always here to stay.

I can't express how much you taught me,
So much I can't explain.
All the times I can remember,
Never once heard you complain.

So many hearts were broken,
The day God called you home.
It seems as though each one of us,
Were left to survive alone.

I know there was a reason,
That you had to leave.
To keep us in your watchful eyes,
So now in God I really do believe.

Please know our loving thoughts embrace you,Please accept these flowers and hear the words we are not able to speak.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,Thinking of you in these difficult times,May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.Our hearts are filled with sorrow,We're sharing your sorrow,With deepest sympathy.

In loving memory,With heartfelt condolences,Fondest remembrances,May you take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us.You are in our thoughts and prayers,Always in our hearts,Gone but not forgotten.May you have memories for comfort, friends for support,and flowers to ease your sadness.Though words,however gentle,cannot take your loss away,still may these flowers sent in sympathy help comfort you today,Our thoughts are with you.

May these flowers in some way help to express our heartfelt sympathy,Especially for you at this difficult time.
With heartfelt sympathy and understanding thoughts in this time of sadness,You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you at this time of sorrow,Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother.
Our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you,We may not understanding why sad things happen, may it somehow help to know how much we care.

We wish to express our sympathy in your loss and to let you know that our thoughts are with you,At a time such as this, words cannot express our feelings.

Gracious Father,in darkness and light,in trouble and in joy,help us to trust your love,to serve your purpose and to praise your name;through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
