Biography

March 18, 2013

Huong was born in Vietnam in 1961 as the middle child of a family of 6 children. Around age 17 she immigrated to the US with her family. She eventually settled in California and is married to Lee. She has three daughters, a son and a dog: Crystal 29, Maylynn 27, Sophia 23, Dylan 5, and Kona 2.

There are so many words to describe Huong. She is extremely loving, affectionate, lively, hardworking, keen, and creative.  She possessed exceptional intelligence in addition to being socially and emotionally aware.  She was an extraordinary cook, mother, home-maker and all her actions were an extension of her love for life and for others.

But above all, Huong was a giver. Her generosity has touched the lives of so many. She regularly donated food, gifts and her time to children, elderly and anyone in need.

We all know how healthy and beautiful Huong is and her body is no different. We believe it was meant to be that the circumstances of her death made her the perfect transplant candidate. It is the final gift she can give and her ultimate contribution to this world. We are so proud to have her as a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. She will be loved and in our hearts forever.
