Our deepest condolences. Grandma will be missed greatly, but she is in a better place now. She will be forever in our hearts.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."

Feeling at peace knowing that Grandma has returned home to be reunited with Grandpa who left us too soon over 34 years ago back in Laos. Her gentle and sweet way will be missed. She was truly loved by her children, grand-children, and great-grandchildren! We miss you and love you A-MAR! We will see you again one day...
