Gramps, you have left a big impression on all of us and more importantly me. You were always happy when I came to visit and also grandma too. Even though you would always nag me with ,your partner in crime, grandma.  I am going to miss the times when I sat there trying to piece my very broken Vietnamese together to try to understand what you were saying to me, but in then end I would mostly figure out what you were trying to say to me. You would always make me happy with your laughs and merry attitude and I am going to miss that. I know you went to a better place, one that goes beyond my imaginations, but I am going to miss you and everyone else misses you too. Thank you for  making an impact on me and the family too. Gonna Miss you Gramps🙏🏽

Grampa you were truly an influential person in my life. You brightened my day whenever I talked to you and you always wanted the best for me and everyone else. Any time I would be getting yelled at for things you would say, "He's young" or "He's just having fun" and that meant so much to me when I was younger. You always pushed me to do my best and you always wanted me to succeed. Whether it was the kind words you said to me, the actions you did that made my day, or your random building sprees that I found so interesting, I will truly miss you. Rest in peace Gramps, I'll bring all the kindness you have shown me for the rest of my life.

Ong Ngoai,  I love and miss you. I am grateful to have been able to have you in all of our lives. I will forever remember your smiling face, your laugh, and how you loved riding your bike around the neighborhood. Until we meet again, watch over us and protect us.

Ong Noi we love you & miss you. Our children have been so blessed to have you in their lives. We will miss your smiling face, but your family will rejoice in all the wonderful memories you have shared from generation to generation. We will see you again in the Eternal world with God, one day, until then we know you are walking with God looking down on your family and protecting us.

I will miss you grandpa! Your smile and laugh always made me happy. I remember when I was younger, you would ride your bike almost everyday to my parents house just to get some nails so you can go back home and build things. You would always made sure whatever that you was building was extra tight so nothing could have went lose. Whenever we had family parties at my parents house, you would always sit at the end of the table and you would be the happiest because you loved when everyone gets together. Every time when I go to church I would always look up to find you and grandma since you would always be 3 row ahead. Until we meet again Ong Noi! ❤️🕊

Everything that defines a grandfather, we were so fortunate to have in you. You left Vietnam to a foreign world, so that your kids and grandkids could have a better future.  You were a well rounded hard working family man. I remember when you’d wake up at the crack of dawn to catch rides for work. You’d do it without any complaint and took every challenge with a smile. Anytime grandma wanted someone thing you were quick to build it and were so innovated with your craft. You showed me the warmth and love only grandparents can give.  I remember being home alone on the weekends and you would bike over and watch Vietnamese show.. that ended up putting you to sleep, all so I wouldn’t be home alone. You would always come with some surprise, being a snack or something yummy grandma made. You always made sure I didn’t go hungry. You always spoke to me with gratitude and abundant appreciation for everything I did wither big or small. No matter what it was, or what I did you never forget to tell me “cam on con”. I remember the last thing you asked of me was to order you a pizza. I thought how strange, you never asked for pizza.  Upon delivering it, Grandma gave me a hard time because I wouldn’t take her money but i told you this time it’ll be on me. I remember asking you on Christmas how the pizza was and grandma shared you ate it all! I told you if you’d ever want another one, to never hesitate to call.  Little did I know it woulda been the first and last pizza I ordered you. While I wished I could have seen you and thank you for everything you’ve given and done for me, I know you’re looking down on us now. Probably laughing at how much we’re crying. It gives me peace to reflect on the fond memories we share, knowing your pain free and that you’ll be waiting for each one of us one day. Con sẽ luôn ôm Ong Ngoai vào lòng, đi và hướng dẫn con suốt cuộc đời cho đến khi ong chau ta gặp lại nhau. Con yêu ong nhiều hơn những lời sẽ giải thích. Rest in eternal peace Ong Ngoai 💕

You have always been a cheerful person to be around with. Always smiling and laughing at even the little thing. I always enjoyed eating pig ears with you. Rest in peace grandpa.

Ong Noi you will be miss by everyone. I know you are not suffering anymore, you are probably having fun with all the other family and friends. I love you Ong Noi Miss you!  I still remember the last day I drop  by to bring food was the day before you went to the hospital I knock the door and you kept calling Ba Noi so finally you had to stand up and open the door and said " I having a hard time standing up and breath, you said okay just put the food on the table for ong and call " Ba!!!!!!  BA!!!!!!! and grandma didn't answer and you Said Ba Deaf.
