Mon and her children fled to Thailand in 1979 to escape the conflict, and they became separated from her husband during the civil war.

What a beautiful picture of your Mom. She was always a pleasure to run into or see, she was a wonderful mother and grandmother which I seen first hand. Never wanted any babysitter or Daycare to watch her grand kids even at times when her arthritis was flared up she still managed to take care of business, she made the best spring rolls. I know that. She had a good sense of humor always would have a few laughs when we would see each other. You will be missed dearly Mon Chey, by your Dear Family and friends, you rest in peace now, you are so deserving. May God Bless you.
Thank you to you and Mike for all your support and Love during this time❤️
