Iohani and Salote,
Well, the time has come that you have warn us about all those many years ago. Here in Alaska we have a volcano about to erupt. It is called Mt. Redout. It has been very scary the last few days. Today they said that it is going to blow, the question is when. I am in SLC right now to collect my kids and hopefully get back home before it occurs, but I suppose that only time will tell.
Anyway, I know that you can't read this, but you both know what is in our hearts and the love that we share with you and the memories that we have with you.
I just want to let you both know that as of the beginning of the year, I promised my kids that I would go back tg church with them. And would you believe that my first Sunday there I got a calling to be a primary teacher and teach the kids the songs for he primary program in October. I am excited, but scared. But the activities that I plan every Sunday is great. I just remember some of the games that we used to play and put it in with my lesson. The song part, Noma is giving me ideas.
Know that we all miss you dearly and can't wait to see you again. I know that you have a great calling up there from our Heavenly father and I know that you will do great.
I think that you both taught my father in law because in November 2008 Latu was able to baptize Sila, his paternal grandfather and you felt the spirit there in the temple. Everyone was crying. They also baptized his brother and his father and mother and other people. Latu did the baptism for his grandfather and grand Uncle. What a great blessing for him and them. My sister in law also told me that she was upset because numerous time she drempt of Sila, but he refuses to look or talk to her, but is having the longest talk with Pai, my hubby. I think and so does my mom, its because he has his Melchesdic(sorry if spelled wrong) priesthood, even though he doesn't practice it.
Anyway, that is it for now.
I love you both dearly and miss you trememdously. May your work their be prosperous and filling and I leave you with this in he name or prophet, Thomas S. Monson that we are saddened physically, but spiritually, we are truely blessed and happy for you both.
Ofa atu,
Taunya, Pai and family

Grandma,
You are still truely and dearly missed and loved. The other day, Grandpa came and saw me and it felt wonderful to see him again. I last saw him and you before I found out that Teleita was coming. I had asked Grandpa where you were and he said that you were busy working and that there is still alot of work to be done. The visit was so great and his spirit was so strong.
Even though you are both gone, I know that you are always still watching over us and we are all thankful for that. Grandma I pray that you are truely happy and know that you have been truely blessed and in that we all have too. I don't think everyone knows how blessed our family is, but the strength that you and Grandpa taught all of us will go on in our lives and down the generations to come.
We miss you both and love you dearly.

My Dearest Grandma,
How I miss your loving face!! I will always remember you grandma by your dedication to going to the temple and serving the Lord all the days of your life. You have inspired me to do the same in my own life. I have watched you and admired your faith and selfless service to the Lord and your fellowmen. I am so grateful to have been part of this wonderful family, you have taught me so much just by your example. Tell Grandpa how much I love him and miss him. I hope Heavenly Father has a special spirit up there to send to me, maybe you can help with that, (hint, hint) LOL! Anywayz I am grateful for the knowledge that "Families Are Forever" because it softens the hurt and brings us peace!! I love you very much!! May the Lord bless and keep you!

I'm amazed and completely greatful for you and the legacy you have left behind in the lives of all your many many children and grandchildren. I only hope to make you proud by doing all that you have asked me to do in staying true to the faith and close to the Lord!

Grandma Salote,
My hero, my friend and a wonderful example. You taught many about the gospel, but family was your legacy. Thank you for always being a strong, accomplished, loving, outstanding, talented, and eternal woman. You have always loved each and everyone of us grandchildren and our children and knew them all by name, even our spouses. Thank you for the leadership and example of what a mother and a wife is and what we can become. And what an honor that you had to go back to our father in heaven with the prophet, how wonderful. We will miss and love you always, but we know that this is not the end, Salote, God be with you until we meet again.

Grandma, we are eternally grateful for your hard work and sacrifice for our entire family. Your loving words, laughter and testimony will forever be embedded in our hearts. We will always remember the sound of your laugh, the songs you sang to us, the many "loles" you gave us even though we probably were grown we still felt like children because you cared for us as though we were perfect, and the many lessons of faith we have been taught by you. I will cherish the memories I have of traveling with you and picking you up from the Senior Citizens Center.
You are have always been the most Christlike example and a beacon of light for us to follow. We will miss you so very much, but what a joy it is that we have the knowledge that we will someday be with you and grandpa again and that you and grandpa are with one another again. As a mother I will do my best to teach my children as you have taught us all. What a day it will be when you and grandpa will once again embrace us with the unconditional love you have always had for each of us. We love you forever Grandma,
Alu a...until we meet again.

Dear Wolfgramm family,
I and my family would like to express our sympathy at the passing of your dear mother. Our memories go back so many years. As a small child I remember and loved so many members of your family who were at Liahona College. My father, who also has passed away, had memories that went back even further than mine. I’m sure he has been there to greet Salote as she came to the spirit world.
I wish I could come to the viewing or the funeral but since I am in Minnesota helping a daughter who just had a baby I will not be able to do that. My mother, Lena Morton, also sends her love and concern, as do my siblings Marsha and Allan.
Thank you for the inspiration that your parents have both been to us through the years.
Ofa atu,

Wolfgramm Family, We also will miss Salote very much! Our memories of her are of a great example to all the world.She was always bouncing someone's baby on her lap or crocheting and smiling with a great big smile on her face.She was always doing family history and was concerned for everyone in making sure no one was left out.Her and Iohoni spent many hours in the temple trying to make sure there are no empty seats in heaven.Besides serving 8 missions! What great examples they are to your family and those around them. You are all so lucky to have such wonderful parents and grandparents as they are. It is a great honor for us to have known them. We would love to see the reunion in Heaven. May you all be blessed with the peace and comfort that only God and our Savior can give. Families are Forever!!

I will always cherish the time you spent in Laie with my family in our little shack about a year ago. You are a queen and will always be treated like so and yet you never made feel small. I will always cherish your love of life, family and duty to God. Even at 34, you always had a lollipop for me in your big "kato"-purse. Give Grandpa our love and dance a special dance for all of us!

My memories of Salote are very dear to me. The years I spent in Tonga and the fun times my family and I spent with the Wolfgramm family are precious. To me, Salote was ageless and I know that she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
May the Lord's blessings be with the family at this time. The loss will be great but at the same time, the knowledge that she is once again with her beloved companion should bring joy to all of us.
My love and prayers go out to all of the Wolfgramm family. May you continually be blessed in all your endeavors until we are all reunited for all eternity with our loved ones, our family and friends.

I have fond memories of Salote and Iohani in their matching alohas at the Tongan dances when I was just a child. Although we moved away from Utah we often spoke of the great examples that Iohani and Salote were to all of us. I do love the Wolfgramm family very much and am just grateful to have had the opportunity to know such an elect woman of God! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I can just imagine the amazing reunion with Iohani and I think they may be dancing again! Ofa Lahi Atu, Lyla Finau Nock (Saula and Tilini's daughter)
