Today Marshall and I went in to Reno to continue the preparations for Mom to return home. Mom’s wishes were to be cremated and her ashes spread with her mom, Betty Jane (Inouye) Irvine on the Big Island.
I came across the following video from Father’s Day this year (2014). I want to share this with everyone, as it embodies a lot about Mom in a very short video. The way she talks, the way she laughs, the way she smiles.

Dearest Marshall, Kawika, Terri and ‘ohana: Leslie and I are still in shock – ‘Nani is such a vibrant loving person in our minds it’s hard to think of her not being with us any more.
We haven’t wanted to intrude with a phone call during what is such a difficult time – please send us your address. We love you all and are thinking of you and praying to send you strength and harmony,
Erik and Leslie
