I remember the day that picture was taken. Surrounded by her children and her beloved Hawiian dancers, she was so happy. When I used to visit her at night after work, she would tell me all about her life and children. She missed Lynda and often talked about her and Charles. I am sure it was a happy reunion in heaven. She was also very appreciative of all the 3 surviving children did for her.
My deepest sympathy to all of you that loved her.
