Words evade me as Moms day came and went. I'm grateful for all our loved ones who've traveled near and far to lay mom to rest. As everyone travels back to Vista, Ramona, Orange County, Samoa, Hawaii, Seattle, Arizona, Utah, Texas and Missouri, Brad and I will cherish these few days FOREVER.
You've helped us carry our sorrow and have taken our minds off our loss but to enjoy this moment we've been gifted with to reminisce and share stories.
Thank you family for being apart of this journey for Brad and I as we laid our last parent down to rest. I thank God we've had such a humble and godly example to follow, whose lives were simple and dedicated in service to the Lord. What a life mommy...I will see you again, hugs to daddy for me.
Brad and I carry you both with us always, I will never forget your teachings, your training and your life lessons.
Thank you Mom for bringing all of us together. Here is to the journey this past week...enjoy!
Shoutout to my daughters for being on the other side of the lens when possible throughout the week. Thank you Faith, Baylee and Salvation for your expertise. Ya'll know it would be me working the camera if I could.
Faafetai atu i aiga itugalua ile omai mamao aua le aso o si ma Tina. To God be all the glory for a successful send off for our Mommy dearest.
Cherish every moment with your parents....as we get older, sometimes we forget they are getting older too. I'm grateful not to have unfinished business with both of my parents. Love hard, forgive quickly, have no regrets. I'll see you soon Dad & Mom.
