My Beautiful Sister Barbara,

You will be remembered in every beat of my heart, every touch of the wind as it passes by my body I will know you are still very present in my  soul. I know this to be true because you are part of me, you are part of each of our siblings. Every one of my milestone childhood memories included you in them. Like the day of your Birthday party when I sat on your Birthday cake by accident I think I was 7 years old. You never yelled at me, instead you helped me clean off the cake from my dress. Then again when I was a teenager and Keahaulani wanted to fight with me on the streets of Makaha. I think I must have been no more then 12 years old. I ran home for safety.. I ran home to you ! You fiercly protected me like a Mother to her child. When we lost Mom at such a young age...You instantly became our surrogate Mom, ( you where a child yourself), you  prepared meals for us, teaching us right from wrong, we followed you like little ducklings. You became our world our safe Haven our Home. You will always be very much present in our life. My adult children Jasmine, Pauline, Edward, and granddaugter Kea'lani will know what an amazing Auntie Barbara you have been. I am the Mother I am today because of your Love and self sacrifices you have made for us your entire life was dedicated to your family. To the most selfless, generous, hard working women our world will know. You love will vibrate eternally in our hearts.  May you rest in peace we will be together one day.

Me Ke'Aloha

Your Babe sister Pua'nani and Ohana
