The second-grader's disappearance on Monday sparked a community outpouring of hope and help, and grief when her body was discovered in a nearby apartment.

Her funeral will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at the LDS church wardhouse, 2280 S. 300 East, where the family attended services. The public is welcome.

On Wednesday, the girl's family spent much of the day at home, where a steady stream of friends and neighbors visited and a stuffed lamb, dog and purple hyacinth lay in memorial by the door. A grief counselor from Primary Children's Medical Center consoled the family inside.

Around 1 p.m., Cartoon Wah, Hser Ner Moo's father, came out to speak, flanked by his two oldest sons. He thanked all of Salt Lake City for its help and comfort.

"I have one daughter in the world - I love her the most in this world," he said through a translator. "You can't find another to replace her."

Welcome Hand, a nonprofit organization that works with the Burmese refugee community, hopes to provide transportation to the funeral for other refugees, many of whom do not have access to a car. Volunteers are needed.

Since arriving in the United States last summer from the Mae La refugee camp in Thailand, where all but their youngest child was born, the parents had found work and began to adapt to a new way of life. Their youngest child, a boy born weeks ago, is the first to be an American citizen.

The death of Hser Ner Moo, described by friends as a funny, happy girl, has resonated far beyond the approximately 400 Burmese refugees who arrived in Utah since last year.

David Vialpando, a Salt Lake City resident and long-haul truck driver, dropped by the apartment Wednesday to donate two $100 bills. He said he planned to come back next week with more. A grandfather himself, Vialpando said he'd been awake all night thinking about the tragedy.

"It's heart-wrenching," he said.
