Remembrances:

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

Auntie Sweetie, I just want to thank you for being a big part of my childhood. For being instrumental in giving me the best childhood a kid could have. Thank you for all the memories that I will forever cherish:

• All our shopping trips
• All our dining excursion (to almost every restaurant on this island)
• Staying up til 3am playing video games
• All the card games (Crazy 8’s, Uno, etc.) and board games
• Trips to the zoo and,
• Taking me on my first plane ride to the Big Island

What I know I will cherish the most is our talks. Thank you for answering all my questions and not shunning or cringing at the subjects that I brought up, whether it was about my curiosity of the birds and the bees or questions about grandma and grandpa. Thank you for being so open and honest with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for always checking on me seeing if I needed anything, even when I lived 3000 miles away. And when I would respond “AWWW AUNTIE - NO NEED, I’M FINE” you still opened your generous heart and sent a calendar, or a Hawaiian care package, or even remembering my birthday. You’re thoughtfulness always amazed me.

Even though you spent one too many nights and months in the hospital, I will be eternally grateful and indebted to GOD for that time for giving me the opportunity to sit by your bedside and reminisce and to truly say good bye to you. It’s sad to think that people lose loved ones never having this opportunity - this opportunity to say “Remember when” or “Good Bye, I’ll see you tomorrow” or “I Love You” while holding a loved one’s hand knowing that time short! IT’S THOSE PRECIOUS MOMENT FOR ME, THAT IS ETCHED IN MY MIND and HEART!!!

So Auntie Sweetie, I know you’re in a better place now but that doesn’t mean I won’t miss you. But I can guarantee you this, I will see you again and when I do please have your deck of card waiting for me because I’m looking forward to redeeming myself and finally beating you in a game of Trumps!

Until we meet again Auntie Sweetie…………I LOVE YOU!
Maka ala! :)

She was the most loving & caring person I have ever known. I feel blessed to have had an auntie as wonderful as her.I truly believe that God will use her as a role model as how to treat people in such a sweet and caring way.She Truly was my Guardian Angel when we stayed with grandma when my dad went to Vietnam. She always helped my mom (Loretta)with us kids.My family & I will truly miss you, Auntie Sweetie. You always made us feel special & loved.Can't wait to see you in Heaven. God has a new Angel in Heaven.Say hi to Tutuman for me.With much love&Aloha Terry

My dearest Aunty Sweetie, seeing your name in the obituary this morning in the paper took me by surprise but not unexpected. It made me realize that you are no longer here that it wasn't a dream. There is so much to say that I could wrtie a book about all the you mean to me & especially to my own family & my mom's. Now that you're with mom, please let her know how much I miss her & love her.
As for you where do I begin. I'll definite miss all the card games especially pinacle (not sure if I spelt that right but you know what I mean), all the simple receipes you gave me like macaroni & cabbage salad (which you called poor man's salad). Easy to make & within budget.
My most memorable moment was when I was pregnant with Mel & Ernest dropped me off at your house on his way to work at the State Capital. I asked you if you could take me to his job so I could drop off his lunch which was a can of sardine's & vienna sausage with a loaf of bread. By the way the can goods needed a can opener which I also had in his lunch bag. Boy were you pissed at me when we got to his job & found out what I made for his lunch. You drove to the nearest lunch wagon which was at Kehei Lagoon & took him a decent lunch. My ear was ringing for days from the yelling's.
You were to me like my second mom. No matter what the problem or the situation, you were always there for me.
I am so blessed that I got to spend that Tuesday with you. Feeding you ice cream, fixing your hair & rubbing your back to make you feel more comfortable. I got to say "I'm so happy you're home" & "I Love You". The "BIG HUG" & then "See Yah".
Although my heart hurts & I'm sad that you're no longer here, even as I'm writing this, the tears continue to fall. But these are tears of love & missing you so much Aunty Sweetie. You're in my heart & memories forever.
Much Love & A Very Special Aloha with Big Hugs.
Ang (which is what you always caled me).

I haven't seen Pleiades since we graduated from high school, but remember her as a nice quiet, soft spoken person. On behalf of our classmates, I would like to send our condolences to all her Ohana. I know she will be missed; but she's in the good hands of the "Almighty". God Bless all of you and Aloha, Julie.

Looking back, I realize that I've known you since were 13 or 14 years old. I have never met a more loving, caring person in my life. You were always there for everyone in the family and made me a part of the family the moment I joined it. Thank you Sweetie for all the caring, sharing,and memories; so much fun through the years with you and Bozo.
You will be sorely missed by anyone that every had the privelege of knowing you and most of all, loving you.
You'll always be in my heart.
Aloha Sweetie

Dearest Uncle Bozo...I can't imagine how hard this is for you..you and Aunty are like pnut butter & jelly; 2 peas in a pod...your marriage is one I had always hoped for..Aunty loved telling the story of how you both met and her father saying you were a good catch, but she still made it hard for you. I know your story better than my own parents story. Fortunately you have wonderful memories and stories to fill your heart and we would never tire of hearing them should you wish to take up the storytelling where Aunty Sweetie left off! Sadly, there are never adequate words to describe the loss of someone as incredibly special as Aunty Sweety..one could always count on her for a patient ear (listening to our problems), love, acceptance, and a soft scolding if needed. I will never forget her unwavering support and generosity in taking care of Curly's affairs after his untimely passing. He always said that Aunty Sweetie was the one person he trusted for everything...so very true. I'm so thankful to have visited with Aunty just 1 wk before her passing, but it was bittersweet because I knew time was short. Sorry...rambling words, it's still so hard to say goodbye...I love you to a beautiful, gracious person that I had the privilege to call "Aunty Sweetie"....Always in my heart, Love, JoAnn

My dear Uncle Bozo, Words are so hard to express and Aunty's passing is just as difficult to comprehend. Even though our hearts are so torn with Aunty's passing, I reminisce of the many wonderful memories that I have stored in my heart. Many of those memories are times with all of us along with mommy, visiting, laughing, playing endless games of Cribbage and the ono pupus that Aunty would lay out for everyone to enjoy. Heaven is a more beautiful place with the presence of Aunty. I'm sorry that I cannot be there tomorrow as you memorialize her wonderful life and lay her to her final resting place. I will come to see you in a few weeks when I go home to be with daddy. I love you Uncle Bozo. I send you all my love and I will continue to pray for Heavenly Father's comfort to ease your loneliness and pain. All my love, Mopsy.
