Dear Tutu Grams, 
 It's been more than 3 years since you've been taken home, and it hurts not being able to hug, kiss and talk to you anymore.. but up there is better then struggling and trying to hold on down here and I know you don't have to deal with pain so it can ease the pain. There is never a day that goes by that I don't think about you, I've been thinking about you a whole lot, I miss you so very much and it's selfish of me to want you to come back , but I really need you.  I'm planning on visiting you're grave pretty soon.. you're not here physically but spiritually, this isn't my goodbyes ohh no it isn't .  I'll see you soon grams, I love you soooo much .. 
                                       - Love abs <3

My "Sweet Memories" of my "Beautiful Mom"
Vernie M. Ganeau

First of all "I Love You" mom from the bottom of my heart. I'm thankful to have had the most "Amazing" Mom that loves me unconditionally, leading and guiding me in the direction I needed to go. You are the world to me. You are that beautiful pearl that shines and sparkles with love that is so special and precious, like a treasure of gold that's valuable to me. Your loving and tenderness heart had care and healed me so many times. 
 
I will always remember how you protected me by praying with me when I needed it and always praying for me. You were the virtuous women I've ever had that provided me with shelter over my head, food on the table and your house were always kept cleaned. Your intelligences were always met for your family at all times. You had a giving heart for everyone. Whether it was money, food, clothing, shelter or words of wisdom you were that person that displayed a heart that always gave. 

God created and shaped a mother who found so much peace and love in your garden. You would spent hours cultivating the ground to get the results that made you happy. The plowing of the flowers, plants and the entire yard brought so much joy to you. These were one of the happiest times of your life. You were a hard worker in keeping the house in order and clean our dad and seven children. The ono delicious cooking, washing our clothes and preparing our meals has been a labor of love to me. You would walked a mile just to get our groceries from Fort Shafter commissary and hand carried the heavy bags on your shoulders because you loved us so much. You were a person who never asked for a hand out, whether a ride or help from anyone. You did everything on your own for us. You're were the strong Hawaiian warrior, my hero and provider for my life. 

You were a comforter that spent countless hours listening to people who passed through your life with their hurts, pains, problems and stories. Your wisdom of words were very encouraging which will always be remember. You were called, "Ma" to so many because of your love and respect. You will always be the one I will always look up to, follow after and learn the ways of life what you thought me. 

Mom you have run the course and finish the race of faith. You truly did it Mom. You put all your trust in God and by His love and His strength you were able to accomplish so much in life and became a successful person with a blessed life. Thank you Mom for been a big part of my life, it will never part from my heart. I will always treasure this meaningful life you gave me. It's priceless.

So Mom the best always comes to an end. I know that we will meet one sweet day in heaven. I love you more, when I look into the atmosphere, I will remember these moments............

When I look to the skies, stars and moon, "You will be there".
When I look to the mountains, "You I will find".
When I look to the ocean, "You I will feel". 
When I look to the sunrise and sunset, "I will see your beautiful face".
When a new day is at hand, "I will hear You".
When I'm at the end of my day, "I will pray and there I will be with You". 

P.S. Mom, I love to go up to be with you at your resting place, reading the word to you, singing songs, cleaning your garden, bringing you sweet flowers which you love. This is my Momma I know and will always cherish. 

Love never fails,
Love your baby: Jamie L. Silva

Thank you Ma for everything you have done for me.

Proverb 31:10 - "Who can find a Virtuous Woman her price is far above Rubies."
Remembering my Mom,

My Mom was a beautiful person, she had a kind heart, she was quiet, soft spoken, sweet, always laughing when she was talking. She was most of all a Faithful Servant of God. She had patience and she was very strong!  
My mother was a woman full of wisdom, she never complained about anything as far as I can remember she was so humble. Her heart was pure and full of love for everyone. She loved everyone and everything that came her way. She was the kind of woman that worked hard. 
Our home was always a safe place that felt warm and I loved coming home. My mom kept  our home very clean, it was her thing... Cleaning and planting! She had a green thumb and loved to work in the yard. Every type of plant she touched grew beautifully just like her. 
I remember when I was younger and my dad was not there to take of us because he was serving our country and we all missed him very much. We hardly had any food in our home, and I remember my mom going without eating. I told her "Ma, you gotta eat something." She replied "Coffee is enough for me as long as you guys eat I am okay." Now that my Ma has entered the Kingdom of Heaven and is dancing with our Lord and Savior, I think about all the wonderful things she had taught me. Ma was forgiving, one of the most forgiving person I would ever meet. When people would do wrong to her she would often tell me, "Let them go, God knows." After that she would not talk about it again. 
My mom no matter what came her way she was always smiling, she walking in perfect peace because her mind was on Jesus and only him. She trusted Jesus all her life and with all her heart. With that God kept our family safe and blessed. 
He provided when we never had anything, God came through because of Ma. She never would ask anyone for anything, she would pray and seek God to provide for our family. If I could get one more chance to talk to you Ma I would just like to thank you for being a very caring, loving, humble woman and to thank you for always praying to God through every situation. Thank you for being Prayful Ma.
I thank my Heavenly Father for allowing us to have such a beautiful mom and allowing her to live her life to the fullest. 
Her Price is Priceless.

Your Loving Daughter.

Doreen Kamealoha Teixeira

My Grams
There will never be anyone who will be like you. I miss you so much but am so glad I had the times I did with you especially the last few months I lived with you. I remember you always had saimin, or beef stew coffee tea or soda everytime I slept over your house when i was younger. I remember all the times we caught the bus early in the morning all the way from kalihi to waianae for church.  You have been such a big part of my life and I am so thankful for that anything you said I took to heart and even if you were saying something I didn't want to hear I knew it was coming from a loving place.  Thank you for helping raise us our kids thank you for listening, telling me stories and cracking me up.  Me, Willis and the kids love, thank and miss you. Thank you thank you thank you for being you. Please kiss and hug daddy for me i'll dream of you both. I love you always. Ala

Ma taught me what the true meaning of "Aloha" was. This Hawaiian lady with a heart of gold was generous and kind to everyone who was lucky enough to meet her. I will always remember her laugh and her smile. God is truly lucky to have her in heaven baking her famous ham and drinking Pepsi with the other angels. I will miss her dearly and never forget her love and kindness and most of all her Aloha. I will also never forget the time she came to California and we went to Disneyland together and how we bought out an entire store of Chinese vases. We had 5 shopping carts full of stuff that she had bought. Ma loved to shop and enjoy every minute of life. 
Love Always, 
Ralph

Mom,
On January 5,2015 you were given "Life Eternal With JESUS"
Your new name in Heaven,to me would be "LOVE",because that is what you represented here for all to witness!
Freely you have received and freely you gave....you always felt like  you didn't have much to give,but the reality is you gave all that you had!
On the last night of you being here,I stayed with you because I kept thinking my job wasn't finished yet,but now I know my job doesn't end...the work of caring continues to go on...you are my greatest example as far loving and caring for others goes.I can only hope that I do as great as job as you have done!
Your job has been fulfilled,now I must press on and continue in your remembrance!
Until we meet again Mom,
Your Daughter,
Cinny

Message by Your Daughter 

Dear Mom, I will miss your funny jokes, your laugh, your love, your kisses; hugging your fragile body and your spirit of humbleness. The old stories of Hanalei Apartments you share, will always be a treasure in my heart.I will never forget your special cooking, my favorite was your original potato salad, plain just how I like it and so flavorable. Can't forget your special beef stew with pancakes on the side. If we had poi, you would always say you get lomi salmon........ it was your favorite. 

I will never forget how you thought me to play sukuda cards, it was my favorite game, you was such a pro with slapping yaku's and not giving me a chance, and the scrabble games, that was so much fun I became a great speller for my family. Mom scrabble kept your mind strong. 

The best legacy you left behind for me was Jesus. I cannot live without His word directing me. You displayed an unconditional love for everyone. Your humble spirit enhanced me to draw closer to your love. Your wishes was that; all your kids get to know Jesus. Your kindness and love will be forever remembered. 

I thank you Mom for a great life. Your warmth and your unconditional love will always be in my heart. I will always treasure those great moments. I will miss your physical presents in my home, but always remember the great kau's kau's we share, the memories we reminisce in my backyard, the pictures I shared with you, and you always knew who it was. I can never forget the many board games we played together and you would never give me a chance to win. That thought me how to be determine to strive even harder. I love you with all my heart. I weep with great cherish and happy moments till this day forward. 

Love Always,
Your Daughter Debbie
