In Commemoration of Lorine Thuy Hoang’s life.

It is our deepest sorrow to let the world know the untimely passing of our most beloved, Lorine Thuy Hoang. Family, friends, schoolmates and loved ones are deeply heart-broken over this tragic, unforeseen and unimaginable departure to gain her own pair of beautiful wings. Our beautiful angel passed on September 23, 2023 at 11:55 in the morning. She was surrounded by her parents who loved her dearly, until her heart stopped beating.

We would like to properly introduce to the world the wonderful gift that was bestowed upon us on May 25, 2011, Lorine Thuy Hoang. We like to take our time to share to the world the light source that Lorine has naturally illuminated in this world. This light was a source of beacon for people to naturally gravitate towards her and celebrated the bubbly, silly and joyful energy that she surrounded herself with and yielded to others. If you ask Lorine what her favorite color is, her response would be very specific, “Corn Flower”. She loved to make paper origami’s, balloon animal twisting, drawing cartoons, making characters on Gatcha Life and collecting stuffed toys. Lorine participated in the school’s band and played the flute. She was always excited to learn new songs and practiced playing the flute diligently even after school and at home. Her favorite song that they played in one of her many concert’s was “Sakura, Sakura”, because she liked how the flute was gracefully heard over the other instruments. If she was not participating in the school’s band, she would be helping her school’s Associated Student Body (ASB). Lorine would help with school activities like organizing and planning, to passing out Lei’s, to serving up nacho cheese for her schoolmates and tidying up after. Now if you thought that was a lot on her plate. When the season is in, she would also join her schools volleyball team to attempt to take her school to the finals. Lorine was a ball of sunshine to anyone she came in contact with. Lorine was passionate about helping others and was never prejudice of who she would lend a hand to. Her heart knew of no hate but only Love and compassion. While if she wasn’t helping others, she would be teaching anyone that comes into her life what the joys of life can offer if you led with your heart without prejudice or malice. She was always a soft spoken yet a very determined beautiful pre-teen that had a very special goal in life she wished to become once she got older. That goal was to become a Nurse just as her mother is. She loved the idea of being able to make a difference in someone’s life especially kids. She was always selfless and empathetic to children. She would offer to donate her toys to the children’s hospital her mother worked at and would specifically put a note on it stating “Don’t forget to bring this to work tomorrow!”.

If Lorine wasn’t rocking it out at school and her schoolmates, Lorines next favorite thing to do was eat! She had a very exquisite tastebud for a Filipino dish called “Dinugu-an” or pork’s blood stew. Lorine got to experience many dishes from all over the world but mainly starting at where her roots began. Filipino cuisine and Vietnamese cuisine. If Filipino food wasn’t the mood then she would always enjoy a hearty bowl of “Banh Canh” or crab soup with tapioca noodles. But those 2 cultures of food wasn’t the only types of food she enjoyed. Lorine was introduced to sushi due to her parents being in the food industry at the time. She would love devouring California rolls and Philly rolls, which would later graduate to eating nigiris. While those are a couple of her favorite dishes she would enjoy, her next choice would be SNACKS! Every snack from all over the world. She would enjoy going grocery shopping with her parents to try and find new discoveries of a wide variety of snacks available at the supermarkets offering treats from all over the world whether it be chips, to pastries, to chocolates and many more. But she especially LOVED roasted salted seaweed snacks. She would eat them with rice and other meals or just simply by itself. Even at her young age, Lorine was very determined and loved to cook and try out different dishes. Although one particular dish she loved making was Ramen noodles, with tuna, kewpie mayo and topped with Japanese furikake seasoning.

Once her belly was full and cravings were satisfied, her next enjoyed activities would be spending some time building up her worlds in Roblox or designing her personalized characters on Gatcha. But on weekends when timing aligns, she would love to ride passenger seat while singing her heart out to her many many songs she would love to play on the stereo. She started very young singing along with her mother which built her confidence to later discover her own unique style of singing. We would wonder if this girl was an old soul trapped in a pre-teens body. Listening to Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, especially the song “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Unchained Melody” from the Righteous Brothers. We, to this day, do not even know where she discovered those music being that she wasn’t even birthed in that era of music but very much enjoyed her taste for she did in fact know what was considered great music. We believe that her unusual choice of music later helped developed her own original fashion style. To best describe it would be her own sophisticated rendition of a retro aesthetic clothing. Lorine in her own way was very unique and was unable to be duplicated. She was a girl of pure original beauty but carried herself in a manner that was both respectful and courteous. Her only bad manner would be belching out loud. Which was her confirmation to the world that this is Lorine’s energy which she has to share. There wasn’t a time of silence with her. If things got quiet for a moment she would have a quick joke to break the silence. She would try her best to make others laugh and she wasn’t one to fail at it. If her arsenal of jokes couldn’t faze you, her puns should get you going with a smile. But if laughing wasn’t the mood she would switch to listening and comforting the ones who would need just a good person to be there to listen. Even though many would see Lorine as a young child, she was very aware of situations and would always try and offer any way she can to help. There was not a bad bone in her body and she was a pure and innocent soul that blessed everyone around her.

Lorine had resided and flourished in Santa Ana these last couple years. She loved going to the beach with her 2 dog-siblings, Mercy and Beau and her mother. They would spend hours building up the dynamic relationship between the two of them. The bond was no force to mess with. From having long conversations about life, to simply laughing hysterically at silly things and to learning the responsibilities she would need later on in life. She was never afraid to ask questions to fulfill her curiosity in life. She was just a wholesome human being that loved everyone that was a part of her life and tried her best to lift those who just needed a friend to be there. But Lorine not only loved her friends, she cherished her family the most. She would love to spend hours with her cousins of the same age group during the school breaks back in Sacramento. She had grown very close to them being that they all grew up around one another since the day they were born. We would always hear loud laughs and giggles coming from the area the kids would play growing up. Lorine had picked up many experiences growing up in life. At times maybe growing too fast. From a short chunky baby that transformed and blossomed into a beautiful young girl inside and out. She would always love her hair being long and laid down, with bangs and without a hair tie. She was a simple child with a strong mindset and a pure heart of gold. She has touched many lives while being on this earth. Although she was learning from her parents, she too had taught them the true meaning of unconditional love, patience and compassion. Although it might sound cliche, anybody could never imagine what having a wholesome child in your life can change the way you live. Lessons we will continue to honor in her name.

We would like to lay her to rest so that she can now be comfortable and at peace knowing that many has loved and will remember her energy. But we would like to spread to the world what Lorine has taught those she has encountered during her life. That showing love and compassion is a lot easier than it is to hate and be destructive to one another. That forgiving is the key to learning how to love life for what it has to offer. She would have wanted everyone to come together and just enjoy what the present has to give, for tomorrow is never promised. So living life each day to the fullest would bring no regret even if tomorrow never comes. Lorine would be able to be proud of herself knowing that her life was impactful enough to touch those who needed that pure soul’s guidance, for she is now in a better place guarding us from above. Anybody who genuinely knows who Lorine was are surely proud of the young girl she became. We would like to thank all that have took the time to read and experience what one persons purity can do even if you have never got to meet her personally. Any and all donations will go towards Lorines funeral. If we are to raise more than expected we will donate the remainder amount of unused donations towards a children's hospital in honor and in remembrance of Lorine Thuy Hoang. Again we thank you all for any and every donation possible. If you can not offer a donation a share would help a lot. But most importantly we hope that you got to enjoy learning a little bit about Lorine and her journey she has been through and shared with others on the way. We thank you and appreciate each and everyone very much.

Please be at peace Rinny Bunny and guide us when we are lost. You were taken because your calling was something much higher than we can ever understand. We may mourn and grieve you now, but we will live for you until the rest of our days ahead.
