My Dear Falea, you will be greatly missed by Me and Mariah, we are already dreaming about you. Last night Mariah was having a very difficult time understanding how we will make it through each day without you in our lives. To the Family, we are so delighted to have shared part of her life with her, she was elegant, charming, funny and made us laugh alot. My fondest memory will be when we danced together with her in the kitchen she would kick up her heals and make us laugh. We laughed the most when we were with her, I hope you are sitting next to GUS right now, I know she is happy if she is there with him.My little niece 4 yr old Kimberly said Falea was my friend and I don't know what I am going to do now that Falea is gone I guess I will have to get another friend. God Bless You! Love, Lana and Mariah
