My mother has a huge, unconditional, and beautiful heart. She’s selfless, always helping, giving, feeding, and taking care of others. My mom has this warmth and love that you can’t find anywhere else. Her sense of humor is one kind. I didn’t realize how much Milan and I are just like her. I’m genuinely grateful for her and everything she has taught me. I’m incredibly thankful I was able to care for her the way I did. Milan and I are heartbroken and missed her so much. We all love her so much and can’t wait to wrap our arms around her again.

Mom always wanted to help people, especially to learn how to live clean and like a christian.She had different families come live with us because they needed help.She also made us could go clean their homes to show them with Christian home should look like.Also, she would collect money from all of her kids and grandkids and send that money home and would not keep any for herself. Her clothes will be old and worn and she would not care. All the money she collected she sent back home to help people in Thailand learn the truth.

Mom’s laughter was super impressive and it definitely was contagious. She also had many jokes and told it like it was. Many of her children inherited this loud and contagious laughter and we all love to crack jokes, especially at the expense of others. Mom had nicknames for all of us, one normal and one, well, you will have to ask one of us what those were, but all we can tell you that it is hilarious!!

Mom was the ultimate caregiver. Even as an adult, she wanted to make sure I had enough food and drinks. When she knows you like something, she will continue to offer that to you. When I lived with her and worked in Plano, after my gym workout, she would make me a shake, every morning and I remember calling Stoney, before we were married, that I always had to stop and and use the restroom because of all the water and shakes my mom made me. Also, when Stoney and I got married, we lived with her for a little while and boy did she love Stoney. he would let her know that he would like certain foods and she would always go out of her way to make him food. She did this for everyone.She is very giving, very loving and always catered to people. That is how she raised me and I want to continue to be like my mom.Mom was also super dramatic and loved to take everything to the extreme. She would always tell me not to waste money and food. She used to tell me that she would make a whole chicken last a whole week for our family of 10. If anyone knows me, they know that I am super dramatic and exaggerated as well. And of course her loud laughter. Many of my brothers and sisters have picked up mom’s laughter, exaggeration and humor for her. We will all miss you so much. We love you mom.

I talk to her 4 times a day. I can’t imagine life without her. We miss her soo very much.

Mai will always hold a special place in my heart. Being that she is my best friends mother I’ve spent a lot of time in her home over the years. There was never a time that I can remember in all those years that she didn’t welcome me with a smile and a plate of food. She enjoyed taking care of others. I remember one morning when Jenny and I had been in field service we stopped in at her house for a few minutes. Mai made us some coffee that was sooo good I remember it to this day. Her love was evident even in the smallest gestures. She was a beautiful sister that will be sorely missed until we have the opportunity to see her again.

To the Vongdara family, please accept our deepest condolences. You are in our prayers. How grateful we are to Jehovah for being such a loving Father and God of comfort (2 Cor. 1:3,4) who promises to call your mother from her memorial tomb and the tears of sorrow will be replaced with tears of joy. (Job 14:15, John 5:28,29a and Revelation 21:4). Warm Christian love. The Webbs

Jenny, my little sister! But big sister in real life !!! ️You know I don’t know where to begin. Many good memories of your Beautiful mom; from the first time I met her, all I saw were smiles. And the last time I have seen her, it was a smile!!! She had a beautiful heart, always wanting to help with anything she could help you with, even if it were just sitting and talking to me. And don’t mention food, I would say how I love fish. The next thing I knew ………She would be in the Deep freezer pulling some fish out to cook for me. I thought to myself how amazing that she wanted to make me feel at home. So yes, I will miss my dearest friend snd sister with love, and I’m so sorry for your loss. I have seen how you take care of your mom 1:Timothy 5:1-4
Love Dylvia

Mom always has a big heart and always helping people, even her risking her well being. For example: such as when crossing the Mekong River, mom gave money to another family so they can hire someone to cross the river safely, and when they arrived here in the US. She made sure that several families are well-taking care of and mom always put her family’s interest first in her life.

Our mother surely would not be have been able to manage our family of 10 and move us all to the US and start a new beginning without knowing how to be resourceful and creative in solving problems.
I have a great example of just this thing, my mothers bedroom had a sliding door on one side and a turn lock on the main door. One day she accidentally locked herself out of her bedroom and was only able to partially open the sliding door a few inches because of a wooden dowel wedged in the door track. My mom was amazingly able to craft together clothes hangers, tape, and a broom handle to make an impressive reaching stick and hook to work in into the small crack in the sliding door and was able to unlock the latch to the main bedroom door. While others would still be figuring things out, my mom had made this impressive tool and unlocked the door in less than 10 minutes! This is but one of many examples how smart my mom was and how crafty she can be.

I’m not the best in expressing myself but I wanted to let you know how special you were to me and how much I love you. You are a huge influence amd foundation in my life. From when I was a toddler to a young woman… you have taught me so much! In fact you raised me for majority of my tender years. You were such an amazing and beautiful woman inside and out… I will never forget the times we’ve had together from our conversations to you always making jokes, always smiling, laughing and having a good time.You are the most toughest yet the most sweetest woman I know. You have always given me the strength to be strong when I needed to be.
Yes I owe you for teaching me to be strong and independent. I knew that no matter what I could always count on you. You were the only constant person I could count on. Thank you everything that you have done for me. From taking care of me and teaching me to always smile in the face of adversity to always believing in myself no matter what. And most importantly you taught me to love myself.I’m grateful for your warmth, kindness, love and care always made my heart feel warm. I pray that I can become just like you: strong, beautiful, wise and intelligent.Thank you for being the best influence I have ever had in my life and I’m forever grateful to have an amazing and wise woman that you are in my life.It’s still extremely hard for me to bear that you’re not with us anymore.

I know she is in Jehovah‘s hand, and she is in the book of everlasting life; she was faithful to Jehovah and love him so much. She helps many people to come serving Jehovah, and he never forgets things she did for his name 1 Cor 15:58. We will see her in paradise when mom wakes up from her deep sleep. She will have good health, and she will be happy to see us as we stay faithful to Jehovah. I love her, and I miss her. I express through my tears and pain. You guys you have many brothers, sister, and for me. I’m alone. What’s really important is to show love for your brother and sister. I love my sister so much. I love her, and I have only one sister. I love you guys the same. I love you; thank you for letting me express myself.

Mom, you will forever be miss and forever be in my heart. You have shown me what unconditional love means throughout the years. I love all your laughter, your smile, your cooking, and love. You were an amazing, loving, caring, and emphatic mom that anyone could ask for. “I LOVE YOU MOM”

My deepest condolences go out to Mai’s beautiful family. She was a very caring, hospitable, and loving person who lit up a room with her genuine smile. Her loving and joyful spirit were a big influence on those around her and because of this, her legacy lives on in the personalities of her children, grandchildren, and great-grand children. I’ve known her family my entire life and they have always had her sincere and welcoming spirit. She will be missed.
