You were so selfless and were such a kind and gentle soul. I’ll never forget your infectious smile that just lights up the whole room. You’ve blessed me with three amazing people in my life, your daughters. For that, I am grateful. Thank you for always having me over and treating me as if I was your own. I’ll miss hearing and seeing you obsess over your plants. I think of you every time I see them now. I know you have a garden full of plants up there and it brings me comfort knowing you’re now at peace. I miss you dearly, Co. 

Co Nga was the most selfless and generous person I knew. She worked so hard for her family and had so much love to give. I'll miss how she laughed at me while calling my hands ugly and all of our gossip time while she did my nails for every big occasion in my life.  I'll miss her goofy smile, her loud voice while calling out bingo numbers at Tet, and how she would playfully hit my shoulder whenever I teased her. Co Nga, you left us way too early, but we all know you can rest in peace now. Tell gramps and Bac Anh we say "hi". Love you always and forever.

I miss you dearly Di Nga. I can't believe you were taken away from us so soon. I would do anything to have you here with us again to hear your hilarious stories, to hear you boast about the newest technology - such as phones, and to hear you karaoke.  One of my fondest memories with you was when we hustled the lil kids in Bingo and Bau Cua Ca Cop every Tet. I can still see it, you holding a bucket of pennies in one hand, and a peace sign on the other, with the biggest grin on your face. I love that you never hesitated to hang out with us kids! Now that you are in paradise, I hope that you continue this tradition and hustle everyone up there! <3 Don't worry, I will continue hustlin' the kids down here for you. I love you so much, Di Nga. 

I remember when I was 14, I had just come out to my parents. The first place I went to immediately after was my aunt Michelle’s house. I told her and she at first didn’t believe me. She laughed and thought it was a phase all teenagers go through but quickly grew to accept that this version of me was here to stay. She treated me as one of her own and loved me through it all with kindness and acceptance. I felt like a part of the family; when she was renovating her home she even offered me my own room. Sometimes I felt more at home at her house than anywhere else. She never once made me feel I was never welcomed because her door was always open to anyone. I grew up in her house and she was one of the people to help raise me. She was a second mom to me. There was never a dull moment with her at all. She nicknamed me monkey because of how energetic I always was and I’ll always love that part of me because of her. I’m always going to remember her by her humor and laugh and the way she always won at Bingo every year. I miss her everyday. 

Hi Aunt Michelle, thanks for coming over all the time back then to visit Billy Ozzy and Aiden and allowing me and Baloo to come live you guys. You have a lot of love for animals, loves family parties and Chinese bingo with your kids, nieces, and nephews around. Rest easy Aunt Michelle, I hope you’re having fun playing and winning in Chinese bingo with the gods and I hope Billy, Ozzy, and Aiden will keep you very good company. We’ll gather every family parties in your honor ❤️

Auntie Nga always put a smile on my face because of her cheerful, loving, and caring nature. I will always remember and miss your infectious laugh and jokes whenever I gave you bear hugs. It’s so hard to believe that you’re not here with us anymore, but you’re in paradise now. I know we’ll be reunited again, and I promise when we are, it’ll be my turn to push you on the swings. I miss and love you Co Nga. 

I miss you Mommy… You were the most beautiful, kind, fun and strongest mom I could ask for.  Even though I was your biggest pain in the butt, you always spoiled me and loved me. I remember when you would always be wandering around the house nurturing your plants and sneaking into my room to take care of the plants you gave me, while I was either sleeping or in class. You cared about nothing else but your family, your pets and your plants. This is why you are such an angel that no one but Buddha deserves. You were always so kind and selfless, and Hannah, Tina and I will forever cherish that part you taught us. You always gave me strength and motivation to stay focused and do good, and I will also forever promise you to stay this way. I remember how you would always worry about me and made sure I was safe… but now, Mommy, it’s my turn. No more stress and worries for you, because it is my turn to take care of our family and house as the oldest daughter and sister. Everything I do I will always think about you and do my best to make sure you and daddy are proud parents. I’m forever grateful to have had you as my beautiful Mama and as my role model for your grand kids in the future. I love you, Mommy, forever and always. You will forever be in my heart and mind. Enjoy your vacation now Ma. I’m happy for you that you are now in a better place with Bac Anh and Grandpa, spending your retirement with them traveling where ever and doing whatever you want. 

My momma bear, I miss you with all my heart and soul. I'm greatful to be your daughter. You were my best friend, my date night, my mentor, you were someone who I can joke and make stupid faces too. Momma you were always so patient, so kind, and loving to all of us. I miss your laughs, your goofy side, your advices that you give us, your smile, your hugs and kisses, and your voice. All those memories we spent together, just you and I, and as a whole family; I will cherish them forever. Your job down here is done.Me, Thi, and Hannah will take care of everything from now on.
Momma rest now in paradise. No more stressing, hurting, and working so hard. You are now free to go where you want, and however you want. Momma I love you with all my heart and soul. I know you will be watching over all of us. I love and miss you so so much. 

Aunt Michelle (Gi Nga) was our hero. She was selfless, generous in spirit, thoughtful and always made others happy without asking for anything in return. She was that goofy loving aunt who you can always count on to share anything and everything with. I will always miss the times when we had our auntie & niece nail bonding days.

I desperately wish you were still here today but I know you are in a better, more peaceful place now. I hope you are having a good time singing and dancing in the heavens with Ong Ngoai and Bac Anh, because I know that's what you love. I will forever cherish our memories and will always love and miss you, Gi Nga. 

Aunt Michelle was the most kind, sweet, genuine and selfless person I know. No matter how difficult her day was, she always had a smile on her face. Thank you for always being my silly and fun aunt. I’ll tell your future grand kids about you and how warm your smile and hugs are.  I miss and love you so much. You will forever be in my heart, Di Nga.
