To the family, my heart is heavy to hear about the passing of your wife and mother. I was her patient with Dr. Le. She was very kind to me as a patient,  making sure my crowns were well done and giving me dental tips I didn’t always follow.😉She truly loved her family, her husband and daughters.  She was a beautiful person inside and out. Praying the HolySpirit will continue to comfort your family now and in the days to come. God bless you all.

I’ve been struggling to find the words to express what I want but the shock and sadness from the sudden loss of you feels so heavy.. I met you when I was a weird awkward teen and you forced me to open up. When you found out Jimmy and I were dating, you were so happy for us and cheered us on. You always made us feel welcomed and loved. When Jimmy was deployed, you checked in often. We are recluse but you didn’t care. You were always sure to hug the shit out of us, love on our kids, and forced us to socialize. I am going to miss your smile and laughter and the welcoming atmosphere you created for all around you. I pray that the love and kindness you showed so many carries over with you to the heavens. Rest easy, Linda.  🙏🏽💕🌄

A Sedona memory where we met. Our family joined this beautiful couple in the jacuzzi or should I say crashed their party lol. We had a good time meeting each other and having some shots. We became friends on Facebook and i always loved seeing her enjoying life and family and friends. I’m truly saddened to hear of her loss. There has to be purpose to who we meet. She was a bright star and loved! God be with Bao and your family in this time. Praying for you all.

God always takes the strongest, the ones too good for this world. As much as it hurts to say goodbye, I know this world didn’t deserve a soul as pure and kind as yours. From the moment I met you in Vegas and there after, it was like we had known each other forever. Your energy, your warmth, your light!!! It was something rare, something unforgettable. My heart aches for your family as they grieve this unimaginable loss and continue to navigate life without your presence. The world feels a little dimmer without you, but I know heaven just got a little brighter. Rest in paradise, beautiful. You will be missed beyond words.

Here is a memory I shared with Mama Linda. A few years back, we were on a hike. We stumbled apon a cliff with water below it. Mama Linda saw it and said, "Hey, if you jump off, Ill give you ten dollars." So I agreed. Uncle Bao pushed me and my dad caught me at the water. But it wasn't about the money, (okay maybe it was.) But I look back and realized that it was about the fun memory we made.  The rest of the day, we smiled, laughed, and had fun. I'd you read this Mama Linda, I love you. I will always keep you somewhere in my heart. And I wished we could've made more memories together before your time was up.

My first memory of Linda goes back to when blonde bangs and wide legs was a thing and I believe it to be the beginning of Bao and Linda’s love story…we all had gotten jobs at AMC theater and Linda was the ticket girl that caught his attention, shortly after my bro made his moves and they started talking 👍🏼 Fast forward alittle later when I realized Linda was the one for Bao 🫶 we were riding around together and I was in Baos Blue CRX, but that day I’m like Bro WTH is that smell… turns out Bao done puked in his ashtray the night before and the stuff was marinating 😂 me being me I’m like shit that’s my bro it don’t bother me..Welp I done lied to myself because I bout added too that ashtray 😂 then here came Linda unfazed and not only did she roll with him she also clean it up… I was like shit that’s love right there 🥰 On the night she was taken from us Bao and I saw a shooting star and he ask Me, Bro you think that was her? That was definitely her I’m sure she was telling me to lookout and protect him like I’ve always have, It also started reminding of how Linda was a Beacon of light that just drew people together in a sense no one here really needs an introduction to one another because she brought us together at point, and with that being said Linda will forever have a place in our hearts, Imma miss you Sis 🙏🏼 Love you…

I don’t know where to start Auntie. I just wanted to say I love you so much!My second mom and a second mom to many others! Thank you for always taking care of me and my (Army) brothers  just like your own kids. I will always cherish your kind heart and infectious energy and much more. I will always keep the memories of my auntie in my heart always. I loveeee you so much auntie!

**Our last photo we took together, exactly one week before your passing 😢

Linda, Your loss is felt deeply by all who knew you.  Your spirit, your laughter, and your love touched us all deeply.   You are the kindest, most generous person I know, and I am so grateful for the friendship we shared.  
Your memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know you.  I'll miss your laughter and spirit dearly.  

~When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know 💖

Auntie linda you and your family taught me something very valuable that i will carry with me forever. You showed me what a loving family felt like. We were all a bunch of kids in the army and you opened your arms to us and welcomed us into your home. You didn’t know us but you treated us like family, you fed us, you drank with us, and most importantly you made us feel loved when we needed it the most. I will always be very thankful that i got to meet you. You made this world a better place with all the love you had to give. Thank you for everything!

Love you and your beautiful smile mama❤️

Gone but never forgotten. Rest with the angels, baby girl.

Love from Florida, 

Van Keoprasert

Where do I start little sis. I'm so lost for words and can not believe you're no longer with us. I will forever remember your smile, generosity, hospitality, and love that you gave me and my kids. Wichita will not be the same without you. Me and the kids had planned to hangout with you and Bao on April 11-14 for Chanel's softball tournament in Park City. But things changed and now we are planning to go see you one last time little sis. One thing I will promise you is that I will definitely take good care of my two nieces and Bao. You will always be in our memories or heart and never forgotten. I love you little sis. Rest easy in paradise!

Love,

Jai Onepeng

In loving memory of our dear sister, whose heart was as beautiful as her spirit. She lived a life full of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to those she cherished most—her family, friends and her husband. Her warmth and kindness left a lasting impact on everyone around her. She was not just a sister, but a friend and a source of endless love. Her love for her family was immeasurable, and the bond she shared with Bao was a true testament to the strength of love and partnership. Although she may no longer be with us physically, her memory will forever live on in our hearts. We will continue to carry her love us always. We love you, Linda!!

Linda remained devoted to her Lue heritage, always supporting the temple through donations, time, and cooking, whatever needed to be done. I recall one time,  amid our  busy lives and schedules to perform a traditional Lue dance for our uncle's 100-day afterlife celebration. We practiced many days to prep for a heartwarming moment during the ceremony. I'll cherish this as one of the fondest memories of you cousin.  You'll be missed, by everyone. ❤️

Speechless but so much to say. 
My heart is aching in so many ways.
Everything feels at a standstill but the wind of life still sways. I know you want me to keep going, keep fighting and stay brave.

Thank you for the gift of you, wifey.
The love you gave through your hands and your heart has left an imprint in the lives of so many. It inspires me to do more, love more, laugh more, forgive more...to embrace each breath and moment as an opportunity and blessing to give and spread joy seeds like you did. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. 

I love you eternity, Linda Enang Thammavong.

The loss of words, and the flooding of thoughts and emotions happening all at once. Though our auntie Linda is no longer with us physically, she is closer to us than she has ever been in our hearts. As incomprehensible as her absence is, all of the love, laughter and sunshine that was contained in her has left an impact on all of our lives. The friendship between her and my mom is evidence of the love that overflowed out of her - a love that was felt by both of their children and will continue to stand the test of time. The essence of auntie Linda will be woven into the lives of generations to come because of all that she truly was. I love you so much, Auntie Linda. And may the community that impacted be comforted, knowing that you were truly a gift.

Always loved her loved one’s kids like her own <3

Linda was always so welcoming and loving from the moment we met. She made me and everyone feel like we had known each other our whole lives. Every time I saw her, she was always the life of the party and always so kind. Truly, she was a beautiful person inside and out. She’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

Linda was truly a nurturer and a caretaker at heart. Her love language was food—she expressed her love and generosity through cooking and always made sure there was food and spirits . She always had a spot for anyone who needed a place to stay, no questions asked. Although I didn’t grow up with Linda and hadn’t known her for very long, she treated me like family from the very start, she had been a constant in our lives the last  few years and we will treasure those moments.  Me, Thang and the kids will miss her so much .

Linda, you had a way of making life brighter for everyone around you. You brought so much love, kindness, and laughter into the world, and I’m soo grateful to have met you. Your memory will always stay with me, and I’ll carry your love and friendship in my heart forever. Rest peacefully, my sweet Linda ❤️

Truly a remarkable woman whose love and care knew no bounds. You were more than just an aunt; you were a second mother, a confidant, and a constant source of warmth and encouragement. You always knew how to make people feel special, whether through your thoughtful gestures, wise advice, or simply being there with your comforting presence. You will be deeply missed, until we meet again.

This photo was taken on the 1st of March 2025. This was taken right after Auntie Linda got done beating Keovin’s butt because she caught him using nicotine pouches 😂. 
When Keo and I were driving down to Texas from Nebraska Auntie Linda wanted us to spend the night at her place so we could rest. Keo and I were reluctant to go but eventually gave into spending the night there and spend time with Uncle Bao and her. Little did I know that would be the first and last time that I would see her. As the saying goes, “You’re always one day away from losing everything. Love hard.”

I won’t act like we were super close or anything but every time I saw Linda whether it was at a party, the club, or wherever, as soon as I told her I was Emily’s cousin she’d immediately hand me a shot, ask me if I ate yet, and made sure I was taken care of whether she was sober or not. I might have had to reintroduce myself a few times but to me she was definitely memorable. 

Rip 🤍

Thinking of your family during this time of grief. May you all find peace and strength in the days ahead. 🙏🙏🙏

Linda was an incredible woman who lived life to the fullest and radiated love in all circumstances. When we first met, she greeted me with open arms, and I immediately felt so welcomed. I will always cherish her kindness and hospitality. Her memory will live on forever in our hearts. My sincerest condolences to the entire family—Heaven has truly gained an angel.

We want to thank you and Bao for taking care of us while we were out there.

I remember the night you came with bao and Alexis in Juanedu and you had all planed out to surprise Alexis with Athyna, I remember your reaction was so beautiful and happy. After that you guys invited for me dinner and you made me feel like im a part of your family and that is something I will always cherish thank you for staying in contact with me and Also for being so caring as well. I still can’t believe it that you are gone but im happy that I got to share a beautiful moment with you and your family. My condolences for all of the family and sending prayers and love 💐❤️
