Dith Pran

God is a God of all Comfort and he will Comfort the Family's...

Will forever be in our heart

MAY YOUR MEMORY BE ETERNAL!

I still miss your funny jokes! I learned so much for you. I only wish I had a chance to tell you that. I miss you!

I've spent time in Cambodia and done a lot of reading about the KF. I was coming of age when this occurred - and I desperately wanted to makes sense of it. Dith Pran's courage and humanity touch my heart. Thank you, Mr. Pran.

I never met Dith Pran, Before But I saw the movie, in 1986, and always wanted to help the people of cambodia, I'm doing that now through world vision child sponsership. I cried when I saw his death notice. now I can finally put a face to the name. I'll miss him. I send
my condoleces to his family, friends,
and former coworkers at the N.Y.T.

I had the good fortune of meeting Pran in February 2002, quite by accident. I was familiar with this story and I shocked to be meeting him face to face. He was incredibly warm and kind. We maintained a friendship by email and I always found him to be one of the most open and sincere souls on the planet. Plus, what a great sense of humor! Rest in peace, Pran. You were one in a million!

To have suffered so much in life and yet emerge victorious and optimistic has truly inspired me. His life and example surely outshines the sadness and tragedy he survived. My heart feels his grief and understands what it is to be victorious over it and leave an inspiration for others.

REST IN PEACE, DITH PRAN

Truly an inspiration to all men. A man of honor, integrity, and beautiful spirit. His legacy will always live on,

To The Family & Friends of Dith Pran:

We are so very saddened by your loss. We all know in our hearts that we all will meet him one day; it is so promised. Stay strong because Dith is no longer suffering, he is now in the Right Hand of God.

You all will remain in our prayers forever.

A True Hero of the people, not only in his country but all over the world.
The world has lost a good spirit.
May God Bless and keep his family safe. Much sympathy and prayer's.

May God comfort you and give you peace to know that your loved one is no longer suffering.

What a inspiring story. He was a true hero. Rest in Peace Dith.

I am so sorry to hear about Dith Pran. A time will come when things that happen to Dith will never happen again to anyone. God's word promise:

“Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.”

God, also promise: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Dith Pran you are a true hero among men. Your moving story brought me to tears. YOU WILL BE MISSED!

To The Family of Mr. Dith Pran,

You have my deepest sympathy. Looking to God for comfort will bring you the peace that is due to you in this time of your lost. Psalms 23. I wish you the best and you have my condolence.

Sincerely,

Dear Dith Pran,Your struggle in the face of extrordinary adversity; your loyalty and dedication to your friends; your people and your country of orgin and your adopted homeland; your ability to find strength and move on when it seemed impossible are all true inspirations for those who follow you. Your tired old body has announced the need for rest but your spirit will live on to grow in the hearts and minds of humanity for generations to come. Thank you for blessing this earth with your fortitude. Patricia Filteau

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. May the love of family and friends help you keep your many wonderful memories. May God give you comfort - "Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation. Persevere in prayer." Romans 12:12. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

I never met Pran, but I was very moved by his life and beliefs. My prayers are with he and his family.

I was truly inspired by the story of Dith Pran, both during wartime and later when I would see his name under snaps in the NY Times. It always warmed my heart to see his byline as I felt I knew him. My sincere condolences to his family and to the NY Times family.

A remarkable and brave hero. May God bless his family and may all know his story of courage and honor.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

THANK YOU SIR

I have known Pran since he spoke at my college and he was a dear man whose commitment to bringing his story to the world has been an inspiration. Please accept my sincere condolences.

What an honorable man he was. Dith Pran touched all who heard of his struggle.

An inspiration to the world. Condolences to the Pran family.

God's blessing on Dith Pran

To have survived such ordeals on earth this gentleman deserves a special place in Heaven.

His name is engraved upon my heart. His story remains even though he is gone, for those of us who experienced the Viet Nam era.

May the holy spirit be with your family and may they rejoice because you are spirit once again. The movie, "The Killing Fields" moved me beyond words and showed the world how powerful love is. My own father passed away last Friday and his life was one of inspiration because of his trials and tribulations and the bravery he demonstrated against tremendous odds. So it is with you Pran. God bless you and your family and may we always remember human rights often come with a terrible price.

It was such an honor to learn your story during my childhood. The world is a better place for the bravery you exhibited and the story you had to tell of the atrocities in Cambodia.

May you rest in peace, and may everyone cherish the gifts you have brought to us.

WHAT AN INSPIRATION YOU WERE TO THE WORLD! MAY GOD BLESS YOU, AND REST IN PEACE.

A brave and very special man whose courage is a source of inspiration for us all. May he rest in peace.

I am an old american soldier. I will always honor the bravery of a very special man, who stood up in the face of death, for himself, his family and his people, and liberty for all men. Someday, in the great beyond, we will meet my friend.

May he Rest in Peace and God Bless him for bringing his story to the world.

very soor for your loss.

Although I never had the privelege of meeting you, you were an inspiration. My sympathy to your family and friends.

I was deeply saddened when our mutual friend Jack Ong shared that Pran was battling cancer. The Asian American community and the world at large has lost such an honorable voice of truth. We will miss you dearly.
