Dear Hong Family,
Our deepest condolences to you. Your Mother and Grandmother was an absolute wonderful and loving person. We will deeply miss her. I still remember as a little girl going to her home and seeing the little tree with tiny oranges (geet see). Our love to your family.

I love you so much and will miss you grandma! I'm so glad that Samantha has your name as her middle name and I will tell her that she needs to take on your name and be a loving, giving, happy person just like her great grandmother was!
