Your mom was a beautiful brilliant loving woman.  She was best friends with my older sister  Stephanie in the 7th grad at Waianae High School.  In those days there was no intermediate school yet so these young ones had a blast in the high school.  
I went to Wai’anae Baptist Church with your handsome Uncle William for many years and I was in 10th grade with your beautiful Aunty Elaine.  
It truly is a small world.  Blessings & peace to all of you.  ❤️⭐️🦋🙏🏽  Lily Hun Cabinatan

I remember going to the Hamada residence in Hono Kai Hale after playing American Legion Baseball. Wilma was our biggest supporter and always made food and drinks for the players after each game. She was always a happy go lucky person who loved the game and all the players. It has been over 50 years since I last seen her and I wish I had the opportunity to see her again before her passing. In retrospect , the Hamada family had to be the kindest and most generous family I’ve ever been associated with. May she rest in peace forever and ever.
Aloha,
Bill Pirtle

RIP Aunty! I know you’re with Laurie, Frank and Uncle Joe. Till I see you again.
