Though I have been a member of Punaweb for 7 years,I rarely post but always read what is going on.My wife of 42 years passed away on Sept.14th from cancer in the liver.She was known for creating Lek's mountain,our rock garden in front of our house in HPP.We found out on June 29th that she had uncurable cancer in the liver and went to Florida to be near our kids and grandkids.On Saturday Sept.29 we will be scattering her ashes at sea at her request.We will be throwing leis and yellow roses(her favorite).She was known for her green thumb and is very deeply missed by me and family.I will return to Hawaii and plan to remain as long as my health is good.I promised her that I would return and nurture her plants.I think she would be happy to know that our fellow Punatics were made aware of her passing.Mahalo for being there.

I'm so sorry to hear this Don, I'll be thinking of Lek, and especially this coming Saturday. Please call when you get back.

Our sincere condolences, though words cannot express the depth of loss and heartache you and your family must be feeling at this time. The sendoff at sea with leis and yellow roses is a beautiful memory.
