She was truly blessed to live with her loving, caregiving family for the past 21 years: compassionate Boualath and Ken Sengpraseuth and her dear granddaughters, Kristi and Keri, who all cherish her memory and will always remember their sweet life together. Also surviving Dang is her daughter, Yannie, in Thailand and her grandson, Alex, in Switzerland.
