I have very fond memories of Ly when you all were living in Centerville and you mom was doing housekeeping for us on the farm. I admired her determination in learning to drive and all she wanted to do to have the best she could for her family. Also good memories of celebrating the Chinese New Year with your relatives. She faced life's chalanges with courage and faith.
Sincere sympathy in your loss. Suzanne and Chuck Carmer

Gin, Mui and Sang: I wish whole heartedly that I could be there with everyone. This is such a sad day. I'm glad now that she was in California when I went to visit my mom. She was able to meet my children and I will always be greatful for that. I spoke with Nina and she let me know that her passing was peacful and that she was surrounded by her family. I will be thinking about all of you tomorrow and I will forever cherish the memories of my childhood with all of you. Without your mom, I don't know where I would be.
I will call soon. Miss you all!
Your Cousin,

Dear Gin, Sang and Mui,
I am sorry to hear of your loss of your Mother. I am the daughter of William and Estelle Johnson who lived on S. 15th St. in Centerville next door to you and your family. My parents always spoke highly of your Mother and enjoyed her many visits.
My Mother died in 2004 and my Father died in 2009.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
