Dear Beverly & extended family: This is to express Aunt Patricia & Uncle Neil's deep sympathy on Paepae and my brother's passing. Aunt Wilma sends her condolences also. We know what great joy Yolanda and her children brought to him in his last few years and I am sure he appreciated all the great care given by you, Angelo and all others involved. We most likely will be at the service.
God bless.
