To My Loving Grandmother:

Aloha Gramma!
My childhood memories ...59 Bell Avenue- solitude, love, and adventure. Right down the "tracks," always hearing a whistle, something always on the stove. The pool, swing-set, and the endless summer barbeques. Day long games of badminton, a shoulder to cry-on, the hug and kiss that always cheered us up. Thank you! For raising a wonderful woman to be my mother...As you make your final journey to reunite with Grampa- your one and only. Gram, you are the wind in my hair and the sun on my skin...a part of me that makes me who I am today. And, it's all good. To my Family, geography is the only thing between all today, and I, too, celebrate Gramma's life...she would have-it no other way. Gramma, aloha pau 'ole. Lovingly, "Timothy Joe"
