I never got to know you but I was blessed to have the chance to serve you, in your final days. That was the least I could do for you. I know of you and all you have accomplished in your life time in the end and i'am grateful for that. That being said 2 Corinthians 4:18 "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." Aloha a hui hou Grandma Kaleo.

I remember the days of old when we used to get together and sing and play music all night until the morning hours. Your birthday would come and we prepared a hula just for you. I remember your smile, your laughter, and your presence. You will be missed Grandma. I love you.
