To Lai's father Harry, (and Carol), his mother, and the rest of the family. It saddens me so to see a life taken from us so quick. I remember Lai and his brother Lee when they were small. Such handsome and kind hearted boys, it doesn't surprise me that Lai died a hero. My heart and prayers go out to all of you. Love, Becky Bui

To Lai's family

I am truly sorry for your loss! I remember Ly and Lai as little boys playing in the sprinkler in their moms front yard on Sale rd. (We lived across the street). Just last week Jade was at my house sharing pictures of Lai and his kids and bragging about what a wonderful man and father he was. She was the happiest I had seen her in a long time! My family and I will be forever grateful to Lai for the wonderful act of love he showed Jade that night. He is a Hero in our eyes!
