I remember...
The time that I feel off Uncle Chubby's house, "Summer."  I sprained my arm, so you made me a sling from some pretty floral material.  I went to preschool with it and all my friends wanted to touch my sling and hear about what happened.

How you used to always dress me in beautiful dresses as a child.  One time, I went down to the stream to catch tadpoles and went swimming in my dress.   You were mad that my new dress got muddy, but you still laughed. 

The sound of your chewing gum as you cracked it while driving your Nova.  I sat in the back seat and drew small pictures on the dried out interior with my nails.  You didn't drive for very much of your life, but you still bought a new car just a little before I started driving.  The Dodge Shadow became the car that we all used to learn how to drive. 

These few childhood memories just scratch the surface of the mountains of memories we've made together.  I appreciate everything you are to me.   I love you, Nana.  Aloha 'Oe, until we meet again. 

I’ll always remember the great times I had with grandma Lina. Some  of the most memorable was when Aunty Lisa, Ronson, and grandma Lina caught me not wearing my bibbidees underneath my shorts. We all cracked up quite a bit! She always had her goody corner by her chair,  it was always stocked with all the best lemon peel and crack seed. Also, if you were lucky enough to receive  a quilt from her, you know you were special. Rest in love grandma Lina.❤️

...That time we went to Marukai and it started storming while we were still shopping, then we had to “swim” to our car.

...That time me and Dels were playing with chili pepper in the yard, and I came home crying because my eyes were on fire. You gave me some cold peaches and put out your arm for me to rest my crying eyes.

...That time Jason was sitting at the dinner table, and I made my plate and sat down. You said, “why you don’t make his plate, too?” I said, “he has legs and arms.” You shook your head at me in obvious disappointment. That’s Jason’s favorite memory of you. I still don’t make his plate because he still has legs and arms.

...your Spanish rice, chicken rice cone sushi, and steamed fish. 

...all those times you sat there on the living room floor warning us to stop running around your blankets, armed with your yardstick, ready to strike any ankles that came too close.

...your laugh and your dimples.

I have endless memories of you, and for that, I am thankful. I will always miss you, but I know that I carry you with me always.

My memories of Aunty Lina.....spunky lady with her huge rings! I may have first felt a bit scared of her when I first met her when I was 16, but then I discovered she was a very strong woman with a gentle heart. Thoughtful and generous and always made me feel like a part of her family. Very talented. I am proud to still have, after all these years, two of her patch quilts that she gave me over 20 years ago. I’m so blessed to have a part of her in my home today. Aunty Lina was blessed with a long life. 

We will always remember her "soft and welcoming Smile" and her Love will repeatedly be seen and felt in the laughter and kind things you feel when remembering Granny.... I cannot remember how many times I have said that the Beautiful Quilt she made for Me is Her Memory to me every night when I go to sleep.... Blessings and Aloha to LISA and Family!!!  A Hui Hou Granny.....

Nana was the life of the party, always good natured, generous to a fault, and loved life.  She was a strong woman, a kind person, and a fiercely proud grandmother.  We love you and will miss you until we meet again.
