I am the late daughter of Tomas Quinata Taitague, my father has one brother the late John Quinata Taitague (no children), and one aunti name Delfina Taitague Boswell of South Carolina with (6 children). Our thoughts and prayers are with you and may your memories bring you comfort. My grandfather has a brother name Uncle Frank Taitague of Agat. I also rememebered going to the "Taitague" residence for Fiesta's in Inarajan by the church. My dad and uncle tells us that our ancestors came from Inarajan and Talafofo. My grandmother's name was Felicita Aguon Quinata of Umatac, but when my grandfather "Taitague" was killed during the war, she married a Sablan of Santa Rita.

My condolences to all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren on the passing of Auntie Epa. I remember very well the days when I used to visit at her house with Fina. I was very close to my cousin. Auntie Epa and my mother were first cousins (mothers were sisters). I can recall and could still see me and Goring climbing the lemon trees in the back to pick lemons for Nanan Angela for lemonade. Before we could visit with Fina, we had to help her clean the house and wax the floor. She was a very strict auntie, but can be fun. Again, my sorrows to all.
