Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Lani´s passing today when I called to make an appointment. I am so sorry to hear of her that. I worked for Bill for several years when he opened his first office in 1979. We all went to the Giants opening day where they told us Ianthia was pregnant with Lani. I kept track of her over the years through Bill and was so happy that she was following in his footsteps. I became her patient along with Bill´s when she joined the practice. She was always so kind, gentle and...

I remember a sweet big sister to little Sunni when they were very little. Sometimes, the girth and depth of a person´s spirit rises from their ashes. Two new lives within ten months is not a coincidence. Hele me ke Akua, Mililani.

I am so saddened to hear about Dr. Donnelly´s passing. She was such a lovely person and passionate dentist. The dental community has lost a valuable member, and I will miss her expertise and kindness. My thoughts are with you and your family and your Cow Hollow Dental family. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I have been a patient of Dr. Smith's for decades and was delighted to meet his daughter Dr. Donnelly when she joined the practice.

I have added many messages since Kimiko passed. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, see her beautiful face, warm eyes, and smile. I loved her truly. As everyone did. Plus, she was the best dentist ever. She continues to inspire me and I feel she is at blissful peace. Barbara Rose Brooker

I just heard about Dr. Donnelly's passing and my heart goes out to her family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sad but also so thankful I had the pleasure of knowing Lani for so many years. I will miss her laugh and her smile. I'll also miss trying to discuss politics with her while getting my teeth cleaned. Even though we only saw each other twice a year, I felt like she was a friend. She will be missed.
