Thomas and Eddie, I am so sorry for your loss. Although I did not know your wife/mother, Van, and I do not know you two, I feel very close to you through my relationship with Ms. Kim Le (I believe she was Van's second cousin).
I pray God will provide all of your family with comfort and peace during this time of grief. If there is anyting I may do for you or your family, please do not hesitate to ask.
My God bless all of you and keep you well for many years.
Sincerely,
Tim Glennon

Van was a very nice co-worker. She worked very hard at Citigroup and was always willing to take on different tasks when the work was low in our area. I will miss her always-pleasant demeanor. Very sorry that she had to be taken so soon. My condolences to her family.

Eddie and Thomas,
We are so glad we were able to know Van for these last few months. We have had such a wonderful time with Thomas in AWANA. We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. We are glad she is safe and well now with the Father but it breaks our hearts for you to be without her here.
Love, Brian, Liz, Callie and Grace
