Ong Ngoai, 

You will always be remembered as the leader and the rock of our family. You have created a family of loving, giving, and caring people. You taught your children to work hard and to give back when they can, important qualities that they have in turn taught your grandchildren. We are close-knit as a family because you taught us to get along with one another and to work together in order to create fun memories such as talent shows, Christmas skits, fun videos, and sing-a-longs. Our family gatherings were always exciting and full of life because you insisted that they be that way. Because of your insistence, our family has a multitude of fun memories that will last us a lifetime.

You also taught me about the importance of building a good foundation for my education. As I embark on my senior year of college, I am grateful for your words of advice because they have helped me, through building that strong foundation, to mentally prepare myself for whatever may come next for me. I hope that I have made you proud in my endeavors thus far, and that I continue to make you proud as I pursue a career as an occupational therapist. 

Although God may soon call you home, your legacy will live on through the wonderful family that you have built. We will miss you, and we will live our lives in God's name just as you have taught us to, hoping to one day be reunited with you again in heaven.  

I love you, Ong Ngoai!
