We knew her for what seemed but a moment and in that moment she captured our hearts forever. 
She was a Queen whose like shall not pass this way again. 
Our Sympathies….our tears.

At SFMOMA. She loved Larry Sultan’s work. 

En te disant un au revoir, pendant que tu prends le doux chemin vers le repos et l’amour de Dieu et des tiens qui t’attendent,
nous te redisons  notre admirative affection.

Cô Văn mến,
Femmes dans la tourmente de votre pays en guerre et en changements, votre vie a été ni simple ni facile. Mais tu faisais partie de ces femmes en larmes mais pleines d’amour pour leurs enfants et  qui résistaient à tout , qui ont tout surmonté pour le bonheur et la vie de leurs familles. Les situations et les choix étaient difficiles et déchirants. 
Mais grâce à toi, grâce à ton exemple, ta famille a réussi à construire sa vie et tes enfants et petits enfants vivent en paix et tournés vers leur avenir.


From her students at the Faculty of Pedagogy, University of Saigon, Vietnam ( Class of 1975) 

I quickly discovered Bao's inner and outer strength after meeting her in 2017 for early-morning exercise classes. She was determined to be her best, resilient, and showed a mental toughness that is rare -- not to mention, she made sure she had the heaviest weights in class!

I was so happy to reconnect with her after I completed my graduate program. I looked forward to our Mondays and Fridays together. Still strong, she was happy to rise to any challenge despite her perpetual state of being "almost ready" for me each time.

In parting, I say (and have said) to her a sentiment she shared with me after our first meeting: Merci mille fois.

January 3, 2011, at Grand Garden restaurant.

Mrs Le Bao Xuyen and me, I miss you!

From Mrs Ky HuuVu

We would like to share the pictures of Mrs Le Bao Xuyen who always supported her husband

From Mr & Mrs Ky Huu Vu 


Bà was the best grandma I could ever ask for.  I will cherish all the happy memories that we had together.  I will never forget you.

This was taken in 1993 at my wedding. After the ceremony concluded, I announced, “That’s it.” Bac Bao shouted, “But it’s just the beginning!”

Perfectly representative of her ability to precisely and concisely capture the moment. I will also remember her indomitable spirit, incisive intellect, and care for her family. Over the years she has given me invaluable council and thoughtful, supportive advice. I and my family will miss our Bac Bao. 

My sister and I grew up visiting Ong Ba Le Van with my parents on a regular basis. I remember her European influenced meals and then when we were teenagers, we would help with the dishes. Her decor was also European influenced, light, simple and clean, which is a style I love. One memory from when we were little was we called Mrs. Le Van, “Bac” and Mr. Le Van,  “Ong”. The reason for that being funny would be if you understood that in our culture you either call both Mr. and Mrs. by “Bac” or “Ong” and “Ba” but not both. That was always the joke Ba Le Van would remind us of. I want to say thank you for her generosity as she always welcomed us to her home and even to stay for months when we had sold our house and had nowhere to stay. I send my condolences to her whole family as this is a sad time for everyone ♥️
