Anh grew up in Vietnam, moved to Canada, and worked hard to do her best at everything she did. She was a dedicated mother and wife, and a dear friend to many.

Everyone she met felt her radiance, compassion, and good nature. As a Registered Early Childhood Educator at Rosedale Public School (TDSB) and a Vietnamese language instructor at St Jane Francis Vietnamese Sunday Program (TCDSB), she touched the lives of so many students, parents, and colleagues. Anh had a passion for teaching, extreme patience, and cared deeply about the children in her classes.

Anh was dearly loved by me, her husband Kirk, our daughter Elena, as well as the rest of her family in Vietnam and Canada (brother Dong, Dong's wife Thuy, Anh's mother Chung, nephews Duc, Khoi, and Hieu, husband's parents Karl and Brenda, Karl, Loubna, Khadeejah, Kristina, and Victoria, and Anh's cousins in Canada). We miss her enormously and struggle greatly with the suddenness of her early passing.
