My Dearest Sister Rose - Although it was on a sad occasion that we were all together as a family, it was also fitting on how Rachel wanted her going home celebration to be held -- all her uncles, aunts and cousins there with her. We laughed together as a family and we cried together as a family. A lot of singing and togetherness just like she wanted. We'll miss her dearly, but she's in Heaven's doors now and in better Hands than we could ever support her with. Stay strong my dear sister, for your health and your two boys. Stay close to God in heart and mind. May God bless you, Richard and Robert always. I love you. Your brother, Lene##imported-begin##Lene Manuma##imported-end##

"O' LORD most High, we ask of you strength during these times of adversity and strife. Heavenly Father, please rain down the garments of praise for your children who hurt inside, deep where only you can comfort them. LORD GOD, you know our needs, and you know our desires. we pray O' LORD, that your mighty hand would give comfort, peace, restoration and victory, for we are more than conquerors in CHRIST JESUS, who loves us, in JESUS name, AMEN!"
I don't remember meeting Rachel, but thru the family ties & our shared relationship in Christ, her faith & love for Jesus & family has touched even a stranger at heart. Auntie Rose & aiga, on behalf of your cousin/sister Katherine A'asa & family, we send our love & hugs to last a lifetime. All those times you find yourself smiling at a memory of her, know that at that exact moment, she is thinking of you too. Take care & God bless you always!
I manuia lau malaga Rae!
