  🕯 I loved Ama very much. When she stayed with us when I was a child, she met me at the bus stop to make sure I safely came home from school. She cared for us in practical ways and I also saw her pray for us, pray for her family and read her Chinese bible. I will always remember her laugh, how she would hold my hands and say "gang gang" and "soi mag", the way she said "Allo" when she answered the phone, the way she used plastic bags to organize many things. :) I enjoyed the long visits I had with her in Thailand during my college years. She protected me and cared for me, even then. After I had my firstborn in 2005, she was 82 years old, yet made the long trek to visit her 5 month old great granddaughter. I wish the ocean between us was not so great and that I had more time to introduce her to each of my kids. I am proud of the legacy of faith in God she had that I can share with my children. Because of our faith in Jesus, I look forward to seeing her again in heaven.

  Ma was the best Mother-In-Law I ever could wish for. She helped Nan and I with our babies and worked more than she should have when she was with us. We took many trips together in the U.S. and in Thailand. I'm happy that she is now in Heaven with Jesus! In loving memory, Ron Paden
