Our mother, Mrs. Xen Ho, was born on August 17, 1931. She rested peacefully in the loving arm of the Lord Jesus Christ on Thursday, February 24, 2022. She enjoyed a long life of 91 years.
Our parents were married at Cholon, Vietnam. Together, they had three sons (currently two living in Vietnam and one in America), five daughters (currently two in France and three in Canada), fifteen grandchildren (currently three in France, six in Canada, and six in Vietnam), and four great-grandchildren (currently one in France and three in Vietnam).
Before 1975, our father worked in a low salary position within the military. Because of this, our mother needed to find work to support the whole family.
In 1990, our parents with one son (Quang) and two daughters (Lien, Nguyet) arrived in Canada, under the sponsorship of their beloved daughter Dung and son-in-law, Minh.
In our memory, our mother was a great cook. Besides managing her work, she enjoyed cooking for the whole family. We still remember those happy days when we gathered together, talking, laughing, and enjoying her homemade Vietnamese dishes. Nguyet, the youngest daughter, inherited her cooking skill from our mom.
God blessed our mother with the gift of mental arithmetic. We remember that when conducting a business, our mother's brain was like a calculator. Because of her, our family members excels in math.
In Vietnam, our mother supported the whole family by working. In Canada, she continued her support by helping us (as working mothers) with looking after her grandchildren. Her grandchildren loved her and liked to accompany her to Chinatown, where they would enjoy "Dim Sum" together.
Our mother enjoyed a good long life with her children and grandchildren until the day she returned to God's loving arms
Mom, God loves you, and now you're home.
You must be very happy by now, for you have already reunited with dad and Anh Minh.
We all miss you and we love you mom, We will see you again!!!
