Aloha,
My deepest condolences to the family of my friend Jean. I had met Jean when my family purchased the double story gray house next door to Jean's home on Akoni Pl. back in 2007. Whenever I saw her in her yard we would have a nice conversation. Her stories of teaching at Haiku Elementary were memorable.
I hadn't seen Jean for a few years until I started seeing her at Roselani while visiting mine and Jean's friend, Mrs. Hew. I work on Baldwin Ave. and had met Mrs. Hew 7 years ago on her daily walks to the Post Office. When she had to leave her home in Paia, I began to visit Mrs. Hew every week and that is when I saw Jean again. Jean and Mrs. Hew were table mates at Roselani until Mrs. Hew was moved to another area of Roselani. It was very sweet to hear their stories of their friendship of days gone by in Paia. Jean was a bright and positive light.
I was surprised when I had heard Jean had passed away the day before Mrs. Hew....I was happy that they could leave this world together in that way.
I am sorry for your loss.
Warm Aloha,
Bonni Aeder
