I Love You!
I'll miss you till we can be together again "My Love"

Manang,

I'm so grateful for the times we spent together.  I know you'll always be in my heart and yet I'll miss you terribly.

We were in drill team together at Gardena High.

I’ve known Rhoda since elementary school.  She always had the brightest smile and was so fun to be around.  She is in the yellow dress in the back row next to me in the white dress.  I will never forget our beautiful friendship.

Looking beautiful with her amazing aloha smile at our wedding.

The 3 amigas … always
Not Goodbye just See ya later  my friend

Us up front and center … our beginning as friends Peary Middle School Summer of 1977

No one will ever hold my secrets like you my friend

We grew up and old and even became Grandmom in unison… had to introduce the next generation to each other

Us and the Beach every  couple of years to catch up

Rhoda,
You are my baby sister, and I was so excited when you came home. I helped mom change your diapers and take care of you when you were little while mom took care of everything else.  We had fun playing in the backyard and causing trouble. I remember getting in trouble because I pushed you too hard on the bike and you fell and skinned your knees. So, I had to be more careful because you were “little”, but I knew you were tough even back then. That’s probably why you continued to be a fighter throughout your life.

You had the biggest heart and always thought of everyone. You were the “fun” aunt to our girls. First watching Sarah when she was just 1 year, then taking Sarah and Michelle to different places like the beach, trick or treating, and basketball games for Kyle and James.  The girls always had fun with you. At family events, you always had goody bags for all the kids whether it was Easter, Halloween, Christmas or birthdays, and the kids always looked forward to seeing what treats were in the bags. 

My heart aches, and there will always be emptiness.  I can’t believe you’re gone, but I know you’re at peace now with Dad and probably talking his ear off about everything. 

We love you always and may you rest in peace with God – Eva and Tom Podzimek

To a Sistah who always was there for me in good times and bad. Who always knew when I was in distress and would send a message or call just to let me know she was there to help. 
We’d talk for hours, creat things together, and finish each others sentences. She’s now an angel watching over and making sure we’re ok still. Au ia oe Sis, fly high and speed your Aloha in heaven as you have here on earth.
Aloha oe 
Nalani
