“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.” ‭‭

Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭

“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”

Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭

By the grace and mercy of our Lord, he breathed his last breath peacefully in the presence of all his children, grandchildren, and siblings.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.chapelofeternalpeace.com for the Nguyen family.

My father was born and raised in a poor family. Mother died early, grandfather was very gentle. My father rose on his own. It is said that every early morning, my grandfather drove my father to work by bicycle and went back and forth from Nghi An monastery to Cho Moi Da Nang about 14 kilometers a day.

Dad studied English and was employed as an interpreter for the US military. Great salary, Dad was very filial to grandfather.

My father is seen as a pioneer out of the cocoon of poverty and advancement. Dad has close friends for almost a century! Dad loves Nghi An village, his father's hometown. He loves his brothers and nieces and nephews wholeheartedly. Dad has great love for the nation. Dad is a very positive and appreciative person.

Like all fathers in this world, my father is not perfect but very deep and unforgettable. I have many good memories with my father and reminded him when he was in the hospital and he still remembers.

At that time, in his 70s, my father drove my mother from San Antonio to Austin to visit us. When entering the neighborhood, my father crossed the stop sign and had a minor accident.

Although he still regrets it, father still repeats the old saying: "Because I wanted to see Miss Trinh badly so I didn't see the stop sign!!!

Even though dad has stopped eating for more than 3 weeks, only survived by the IV . Who still cares about me whenever he sees me hanging around his bed. "Get some rest, Miss Trinh," said Dad.

Another memory that I think is my favorite one: At that time ,my parents stayed with chi Tram Anh and anh Dùng in Kyle Seal, SA, my family drove to visit parents. My father kept calling me constantly and asked me: "Co Trinh! Are you near enough for dad to prepare to spread the red carpet to welcome you co Trinh?”

Thank you Dad…., for introducing me to the sweetest love of a father on earth so now I can easily relate to our Father in heaven.

A Father who loves his children unconditionally! His love is pure, complete, perfect, and genuine. Whoever He loves He loves toward the end! And I have the privilege to call YOU Abba.

Today, I got to understand the true meaning of the length, the height, the depth, and the breadth of GRACE through the undeserving blessings that You had done in the life of my earthly dad.

Thanks for loving, pursuing , and seeking to save my dad .For only one reason: He is Yours .

Goodbye dad and see you again in the glorious place!

A thousand kisses to you dad!

Your beloved daughter ❤️❤️
