Vivian was a very special friend. I first met Vivian when I went to work as the controller for the Imperial Hawaii Hotel in 1977. Vivian was our credit manager and she was the best. Vivian seemed to know everyone. She was able to maintain business relationships and friendships while she collected funds due to the hotel; something very hard to do.  We have been friends ever since. Vivian was forever young and I am shocked to realize she is gone. I last spent a wonderful day with Vivian when we together attended the Hawaiian Adventure Company reunion.  We had planned to get together this year. Vivian was a professional in her career and the best and most supportive friend a person could have. My friend, you will be sorely missed by all who knew you.

We have such fond memories of Mrs T.  She always made us feel very welcome in her home on our many visits to Hawaii.  Professor Mike, Taz and Bronson you are in our prayers and know that she is in a happy place with Pops.

I will always the remember the warmth in your smile and the kindness you showed me. We will all miss you.

I grew up in the Tiwanak's house, There is a lot of memories with Uncle Marino and Aunty Vi and will never forget all the times I've been up the house. Aunty Vi will be sorely missed! My love and respect go's out to Professor Pogot, Taz, and bronson. Be strong boy's, she is in heaven with Pops, Lee, and my father starting the CHA3 heaven branch! Love you guy's always, uncle Jason

Mrs. T, you will always be remembered in my home, my heart and the hearts of my children, Josh & Theo, for your kindness and love for life. Thinking of you, I recall so many evenings after training where you provided meals and laughter. There were the tournaments in Las Vegas where my mind's eye sees you enjoying life with Prof. Marino. Thank you for the encouragement you gave me in training. There is no measure for your love or ours for you, no boundaries, no exception. May G-d bless you in your new journey with the knowledge that this world is a better place today because of you. May the L-rd have compassion upon you, your family and all of CHA-3 and save with an everlasting salvation.

Mike, Taz, and Bronson, I'm sorry for your lost. Aunty Vi is in a place better than us. She is now in heaven with Pops and Cha3 in heaven. my prayers are with you pogots.

Mrs. Tiwanak you will forever be in our hearts and prayers.  We love and miss you dearly.  May you continue to soar the sky's of heaven and watch over us...Till we meet again...Love always Chantell & Joshua....
