Our beloved mother, Tu Luong, was born in 1932 in Canton, China.
Her parents immigrated to Vietnam with her and her siblings during World War II.
She married Ung Lan Lu, a printer, in Saigon, and they had four children, two sons and two daughters. In 1986, she immigrated to America.
She has eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
She will always be remembered as strong-willed, intelligent and quick to show kindness to others, willing to help anyone in need, with a strong love for family, relatives and friends.
When she attempted to escape Vietnam the first time in 1982, she was arrested by the communist authorities and placed in a reeducation camp, spending nearly a year in confinement.
Even though she was facing difficult times, she was still helping others, never asking anything in return; as an example, there was a child in the camp who was suffering from illness, difficulty breathing, and she immediately produced a bottle of Chinese balm oil and rubbed it into his chest in order to restore breathing, thus saving his life.
Upon successfully arriving in the United States, (1986), she was reunited with her husband and children.
Mom loved to cook, (grocery shopping was her specialty) and she was praised for her culinary expertise. She often invited her friends to share meals with the family; she was also fond of going to dinner with her family and many friends to various restaurants around Denver.
She also loved to travel, returning to Vietnam with her adult children multiple times, as well as a cruise with family and friends to the Caribbean, and trips to California and Las Vegas with her family - a pastime which she enjoyed immensely.
She led a very rich and fulfilling life.
We all appreciate her love and the everyday virtues she taught us.
Loved by everyone in the family, she will be forever missed.
