[Vnbiz] [vnbiz]: Brother Hoanh's Mom

[LeDieu Anh]

Dear chi Phuong and anh Hoanh,

I am so sorry to hear about that. My mother also suffered from stroke not
once and the last one happened when I was not home with her ... Wish things
will get much better with your mom with you both beside her.

My deepest sharings,
Anh
