Personal message from Alana’s son:

Mama,

The eyes of Heaven pull together to welcome you into their warm embrace. You were and are the most loving mother I will ever know. You remained so selfless, even in the face of such monumental obstacles and adversities, continuing to put the needs of others before your own. You used to say that I was the strongest person you knew, but you were the strong one: in life, in love, in compassion, and in your unwavering faith in God. You are my hero who I look up to and strive to be like every day – the true embodiment of the spirit of aloha. May you rest in peace now, free from all suffering and pain, in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Until we meet again and with all the love that I possess,

Your son Kelii & your partner in crime Kila
