Visa was an incredible mother, wife, daughter, sister, auntie and friend. She was taken from us suddenly and entirely too soon. Visa lived life to the fullest and her vibrant soul will continue on through her unconditional love for her family and friends. She loved cooking Lao food for everyone, cheering on her Cougs and spending quality time with her boys. She will always be remembered for her kind heart and infectious personality. She touched so many with her acts of love and selflessness.
