Memorial for our Aunt Thoa Nguyen

Dear friends and family, We are organizing this on behalf of my cousin, Bao Anh and her father, Bac Kim. With heavy hearts and tearful eyes, we share the devastating news of the passing of our beloved Aunt, Thoa Nguyen. After a courageous 15-year battle with gastric cancer, God called her home to rest in eternal peace on the morning of May 18, 2023. Bac Thoa exemplified strength, resilience, and an unwavering spirit as she faced her cancer head-on. She fought fearlessly, enduring two major surgeries and countless rounds of chemotherapy. She always had a smile on her face and never burdened others with her own hardships. Even during her most difficult moments she held onto a quiet strength that touched the lives of those around her. Earlier this year, in January, she was forced to step away from work due to the debilitating side effects of her chemo. My uncle also put his own work on hold to be by her side to care for her, sometimes traveling long distances to the City of Hope hospital to seek medical treatment. My uncle is the rock of our entire family, tending to both of his elderly parents until their final days and now, his beloved wife. Bac Thoa leaves behind her only daughter, Bao Anh, and her dedicated husband, Kim, whose hearts are forever shattered by her loss. We humbly ask for your support in raising funds to ease the burden of funeral and memorial expenses. All donations will go directly to Bao Anh and her father to fulfill Bac Thoa’s memorial wishes. Your donations, regardless of the amount, will make an immeasurable difference in helping them provide Bac Thoa with the farewell she deserves. If you prefer to contribute in another way, please reach out directly to Bao Anh, Vivian, or myself. We thank you for your kindness, love, and support as our family navigates this heartbreaking loss and honor the remarkable life of our beloved Bac Thoa. With heartfelt appreciation, The Nguyen Cousins
