A sure example of making life the best where ever you are.  I'd take notice of his position, always on the sidelines with an unexpexted someone drifting conversations of quiet jokes and laughter and always leaving an air that life is good and you are good.  Thanks, Eneli, for watching and loving us.

I met my dear uncle when I was little when I used to go to my grandpa Talataina and grandma Faafuata in Saluafata every school holidays. I didn't see uncle after that until a month ago I found him again on FB.  I talked to him and he was so happy to hear about his brother (my dad) is still alive.  Uncle I am so glad I contacted you via FB before you left this earth.  manuia tele lau faigamalaga.  Alofa tele mo oe uncle

I worked with Eneli for many years. In that time I can honestly say that I never saw him angry, sad or depressed. He never had an unkind word to say about anyone. Everyday was "a beautiful" day to Eneli. It was truly an honor to have worked with Eneli, and a blessing to have known him as a friend. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

this man , will always had a smile , will go out of his way just to ask you how are u doing, soo full of positive out look , always make you smile. will be dearly miss

I have known Eneli since I was a child. He was always someone I admired and looked up to. We had wonderful times serving the youth in the church and attending youth conferences. Thank you Eneli for being a shining example of a person who lived the gospel as you taught it. I will miss hearing your wonderful quotes and fantastic talks in church. I aspire to reach the level of humility you exercised in this life as well as the happy countenance that was always in place. I've learned a lot about being a faithful servant from you and am thankful for happy times all these years. You will be missed and never forgotten, dearest Eneli.

Thank you for being my Dad, I love you very much. You have always made me feel welcome into the family and proud to become a Talataina. You have been a great example of a righteous Priesthood holder, father and husband for Eneri to learn from. Your sweet spirit will be missed around the house. Thank you for instructing me further in the gospel, for accepting me as your daughter-in-law and being such a wonderful Grandfather. Your service to others was unsurpassed by everyone I know. You will be missed until we meet again.

Eneli was a dear friend and co-worker.  No matter what was happening in Eneli's life, he always had a smile on his face.  Most people work extremely hard to be happy and have a positive outlook on life...you, my friend, made it look effortless.  You will never be forgotten.  You will forever be remembered.  You will always be missed.  For everything you have done for me, I say Mahalo.  A hui hou...
