My dear Uncle Thanh and Aunt Quy and Trang,
We are so deeply sad when we learned of Khoa's passing. We know that it has been a great shock to all of you. Your hearts are sore for that loss. As time goes by, you will miss him more..will never forget him...
Khoa was my dear cousin, a very dear nephew of Co Tu. I miss his smile when he said that he would come to Vietnam in July to see me and my parents. He couldn't make it... I will greatly miss his kindly words when he shared, listened, and talked with me last time in March. Nor will I forget his memories in Vietnam. My parents and I want to let you know how many sorry we are. It's so hard and still hurts so much to accept that loss. We want to let you know that Khoa is not far away. He is near, in your hearts and our hearts. He will be missed, loved and always. We would like to express our deep condolences to you all. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you every day.
Love,
Phuong, Xuan, Vinh, Mai, Duong Tu and Co Tu.

Its still unreal that we can never jam again. Me, you, and Adam would get so funky and I would always be so happy to play with such talented friends. Yet, you were always so modest to the point you'd just smile and look down every time anyone complimented your playing. That was always your way. So chill and collected. No worries was the motto! Though we can never have any more random, crazy adventures in that Volvo, the time and philosophical talks we had together has made me a better person. I will never stop missing you. I hope you get to jam with the greats on the other side brother. See you later. I love you, bro!
