MOM LOVED TO SHOW HER LOVE AND AFFECTION TO EVERYONE IN HER LIFE. HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN FILLED HER HEART WITH JOY; SHE LOVED ALL HER IN-LAWS AS IF THEY WERE HER OWN. MOM LOVED TO TAKE CARE OF HER GRANDCHILDREN AND MAKE SURE THEY WERE FED AND GOT TO SCHOOL SAFE. MOM HAD A GIVING HEART AND A FORGIVING SOUL. GROWING FLOWERS AND VEGATABLES MADE MOM HAPPIEST. HER FAVORITE FOOD IS 'BUN' ALL HER LIFE. THAT IS HOW SHE GOT HER NICK NAME FROM DAD 'BA BA BUN'. WHEN MOM WAS NOT GARDENING, SHE WAS FISHING WITH DAD.
FOR MANY YEARS MOM WORKED AT A TAILOR COMPANY IN VIETNAM IN 1957. THIS IS WHERE SHE MET DAD FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THEY FELL IN LOVE. THEY WORKED THERE UNTIL THE FACTORY BURNED DOWN. THIS FORCED MOM AND DAD TO MOVE TO THE COUNTRY AND START FARMING, AND MOM HAS BEEN A HOUSE WIFE EVER SINCE.
THE FAMILY IMMIGRATED TO AMERICA IN 1989. MOM AND DAD ENROLLED INTO ESL CLASSES TO LEARN ENGLISH. WE WERE BLESSED OUR FAMILY WAS SPONSORED BY A CHRISTIAN FAMILY GD CHU BA XICH.THE SEATTLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS WHERE THE FAMILY HAS ATTENDED SINCE 1989. MOM LOVED TO ATTEND CHURCH & PRAISE THE LORD. SHE HAS READ THE BIBLE COVER TO COVER MULTIPLE TIMES. IF YOU NAME A VERSE, MOM COULD RECITE IT TO YOU. LIKE ALL MOTHERS, ALL HER PRAYERS WENT TO HER CHILDREN AND HER GRANDCHILDREN. MOM LOVED TO ATTEND BIBLE STUDY, CHURCH EVENTS & CONFERENCES. BEING IN THE HOUSE OF GOD AND SINGING TO THE LORD STRENGTHENED HER HEART & SOUL. HER LIFE WAS A LIVING EXAMPLE OF HER FAVORITE VERSE EPHESIANS 4:32 "AND BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE TO ONE ANOTHER, JUST AS GOD ALSO FORGAVE YOU IN CHRIST" THIS WAS MOM'S HEART AND SHE TOLD US THIS EVERYDAY.
