Leonard Ku'umilimili Mamala

From our cousin!

Aloha,

On behalf the Mamala Ohana we would like to thank each and everyone for all the prayers for our ohana. We will be having a memorial beach service for Uncle Leonard on January 21, 2012 from 11:00am at Maili Beach Park across kaukamana street near the restroom. The event will be a potluck luncheon. We will be spending the day as a family and sharing memories of Uncle Leonard. Our ohana will be putting up a big tent with tables and chairs. We would like to invite anyone who has a PA system that would like to set it up and any ohana that would like to sing or entertain to please feel free too. Anyone with questions can contact me at 693-5516. The scattering of Uncle Leonard's ashes will be at a later date in Waikiki. Once again, Our Ohana would like to say MAHALO NUI LOA.

Mahalo,

Anelalani Raposas (Mamala)

Life may not be the party we hoped for...
But while we are here we might as well DANCE!!

Aloha Mai Kakou!

Checked out a couple of parks today & Blaisdell Park looks the best for what we need. These parks were suggested to me. Blaisdell has shade & tables. They have restrooms & covered tables with lots of parking.If someone goes early, they probably could reserve some space. All we have to do is make a date & see who will come to our meeting.

O wau no me ka ho'omaika'i!

Aloha Mai Kakou Ko'u 'Ohana!

Rochelle Willis think we should meet before planning anything. She would like to address the idea of having other ohana members getting involved. I think she is right, we need to meet before planning anything. So cancel what I said earlier & we'll see what happens. We also need a place to meet & a date. Do we have any volunteers out there? Please email me!

Eliza Kahelelani Kahale Kamelamela Poaipuni

Aloha Mai Kakou!

This is a letter written to me by Awapuhi Kamelamela:

Aloha uncle Sanford! This is awapuhi, May Kamelamela's daughter. Mom wanted me to let you know that on March 25, 2011 we lost Eliza. She just made 55 on March 15. She left behind 4 daughters Alohalani (12), Hau'oli (9), Pomaika'i (6), Kahelelani (5), Mom, 2 brothers and 3 sisters. We are still grieving her loss. She lost her husband just under 3 years ago and although she tried to go on with her family, she had a hard time recovering from her loss of him. The funeral was held on Moloka'I at Kalanianaole Hall on Friday, April 8, 2011. Details were in the local papers in Hilo, Honolulu and Moloka"i. If there are any questions, mom said to give her a call @ 969-7017; home in Hilo. Mom thought that this would be another way of letting the other family members know and if they had remembered her and asked me to let you know to let everyone else know. Mahalo uncle for your time in this matter and malama pono a hui hou. Aloha Awapuhi Kamelamela~

I would like our reunion to be in June or July some where in the middle. Kids would be out of school & June we may have graduation parties. If anyone has any preference, please let me know. We will probably have it at Maile Beach Park which is big enough to hold all of us. It will be on a Friday, Saturday & Sunday. It will be pot luck which will be held on Saturday. I will get the permit which is allowed one year to get. People may camp at the site. Please email me with preference to month & I will consider what the ohana has to say.
