Good afternoon, My name is Hoang Le, and I am Annie Marie Thu Le's father. As you are all fully aware, my faughter was senselessly and brutally taken away from us, leaving behind emotional and psychological wounds that remain“until this day and no doubt will stay forever. Though the tragedy struck us nearly two years ago, our pain remains fresh, changing every aspect of life within our family. Because Rer death was so sudden and unexpected, we now live in fear, never knowing when another calamity will devastate us again. However, even during our. darkest moments of distress, we received uplifting support and gracious love from the community at large, ‘including friends, co-workers, even those we-never had the honor to meet. Through comments on news articles and blogs, we feel that many of you have closely followed the details of the case, providing your sharp opinions which are so true and admirable. All of you showed unconditional compassion for Annie, and we are forever indebted to your generous love. When she was alive, Annie's tireless efforts included finding new treatments for chronic diseases, with the hope for a better human future in medicine. Now with her death, we hope her _ hard work will not go in vain, but that it can bring about much needed change in several aspects: We hope that there will be greater security provided for all students on campus as well as safer working environments. Also, we hope that there will be no toleration in terms of work violence and that a human's life will be considered the most valuable above anything else. May. God bless you all. Please pray for Annie's peaceful rest and that justice will be served. Thank you again for your love and support. Hoang Le and family
