Dear Friends,
The loss of Tina, daughter, sister, fiance, and friend, is so shocking and great that we cannot even begin to measure its impact. Tina illuminated our lives with her gorgeous smile, effervescent laugh, and appreciation for the subtle joys in life. She was the life of the party, the quiet confidant, the friend that you could count on for the unfiltered truth. With Tina, there was no pretense; just absolute genuine honesty, love and compassion. She was a generous and strong support system to so many. Tina often underestimated her academic capabilities but the irony is that she is the one who taught us all so much. As we rush around absorbed in our busy lives Tina always reminded us to slow down and celebrate not only the milestones of life but the relationships which define it.
We grieve not only for our tragic loss but for all that she has lost. Less than four months before her wedding day and weeks after launching her new real estate career, Tina was on the brink of a new beautiful life for which she had worked and waited so long. We grieve that we will not see her walk down the aisle to marry her perfect mate, Alex, or have the little girl, Mai, of which she dreamed. Her capacity for love was exponential and the world is a dimmer place without her.
Sincerely,
The Family and Friends of Tina Nguyen

This picture was taken after a "see you soon" mani pedi visit with Tina before my trip. I was not a fan of mani pedis, it seemed like something I can do on my own. Until Tina came along and completely changed my perception, most of my mani pedi experiences was with her. See, mani pedi wasn't just a service. With Tina, it was bonding time, time to relax, have fun, catch up, talk about the big and little questions, all while getting beautified. She loved trying on new colors too, especially the vibrant, bold, or playful ones that doesn't always match with the day's outfit, but it didn't need to, it matched her spirit.
The Happiness, Laughter, & Joy we all shared was increased as soon as Tina entered into the space we were in. If one did not know her before entering, surly KNEW Tina as she prepared to leave. Her "gift of love" will forever be missed in my and many others lives. Just something so special about us "August Babies".
