My sympathies and prayers to friends and family. She was always very friendly and welcoming to my family at Mccaskey (volleyball), and her friendship with my son lasted beyond. She will be missed, gone too soon!

To her family I can only offer sincere condolences.  I knew Thuy during her clinical affiliations and training at LOG.  Her sparkling smile and personality were immediately welcome, and will be eternally missed.  She always showed a yearning for knowledge, made friends easily, and loved life.

Thuy,
You were such a welcoming presence in my return to OT school. I didn’t know anyone when I returned after medical leave, but I felt like I was at home with your class and your fun loving spirit. I miss the study sessions together, late night Bon Chon runs together, and times spent together. You will be forever missed.

I remember in 9th and 10th grade being at the soccer field with you after school or over the summer for hours and hours. You loved sports, (soccer and volleyball in particular) and being around friends.
I had not spoken to you much since high school, but through Instagram and social media, I still felt like you were the same person as you were in HS. Someone who enjoyed life, kept her friends and family close and was a joy to be around. You left earth too soon, but I am forever grateful to have known you and your family. Much love Thuy!

It was a joy to work with Thuy when she completed her fieldwork at my office in the Bronx in 2017. She was an excellent student and so excited to be experiencing NYC. She was an empathic, caring OT and spoke so lovingly of her family. She had such a big heart & mailed me a large box filled with Lancaster goodies as a thank you when she returned home.  She was so thoughtful.  I extend my sincere condolences to Thuy’s family and friends. I know your hearts are breaking, I hope you will all find peace. May Thuy Rest In Peace.

Thuy was supposed to establish care with me at LGH for primary care but passed before I had the pleasure to meet her. I was anxiously following along with her hospital course in the background. My deepest condolences for your loss.
