At this time, there will be no service, as per Kathy's request. A private scattering of ashes will be arranged by family at a future date.
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the amazing team at Hospice Maui for all their compassionate care and support during this difficult journey.
The family would also like to thank Drs. Altaha and Baker as well as the oncology nurses at Pacific Cancer Foundation.
A big Mahalo to the Levin & Hu Ohana for all your support, love and prayers. You were more than an employer for Kathy - you were truly a blessing to Kathy, her son, and the entire Riley Ohana.
