I will miss you and think of the good times we had while growing up together. It is weird how things change after we grow up. Even though we parted ways - diff groups of friends and diff careers, etc - deep down I always knew we will be good friends once again. Hoping someday your path will lead you back to the carefree days like when we were in grade school and just riding our bikes and laughing.
I only find strength from this ordeal by praying and when thinking to myself that you are pain free and looking down on us.........smiling.
No one deserves the kind of death you endured. Only if someone somewhere heard your cry for help even before this fateful day, you will still be with us. Only if I had known the sadness you went through, I would definitely done something and if that is not possible I would go to the authorities that can help. I pray the person that did this to you and the people that helped him get to this point get what they deserve come judgement day. They know who they are and should be ashamed.

Words cannot express the sadness we feel for your family at this tragic time. Bounpahn was such a sweet, funny girl growing up; it's hard to believe that anybody would want to hurt her. May God comfort you at this time.

Bounpanh and I attended grade school and high school together. I am truly saddened to hear of her death. I remember her as a fun and free spirited girl. As far as her children, I am sure they are as beautiful as she was. You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and may you rest in peace.

I didn't get to know Bunni very well. I mainly work at the E 9th office and I met her on the few occasions that I worked at the other offices. She was always smiling and was so friendly. I will miss her bubbly personality! God bless her beautiful little children and all her family as you face the days to come. Please know that you will all be in my thoughts and prayers!

I worked with Bunni at the E9th office. She was always funny and cheerful. She had the most beautiful smile. I'm so thankful that the children have their grandparents and family for support. She was a beautiful part of all our lives.

I talked to Bunni on Wednesday night at a meeting. She was cheerful and funny and I so enjoyed seeing her. (I work in the Carroll Iowa Heart Center Office.)
I stood and looked at her and thought to myself how lovely she was. I am tall
and of Danish descent. She was tiny with beautiful dark hair and eyes and was just strikingly beautiful. I didn't have a chance to see her often but she will be missed so much by all of us at Iowa Heart. My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Please love her children as I know she must have loved them dearly.
