Journal entry by Dee King Raub

Aloha Family and Friends,
Since our Mother's Catholic Memorial Mass Service is unable to be scheduled, we are choosing a small alternative ceremony for now. Tomorrow (Tuesday, May 19th), Father George Aranha of Santa Teresa Parish, will lead us in a cremation service honoring our mother from 11:00am - 12:00pm.  The link below will take you to the live streaming of the service at 11:00am.  Feel free to join us and share the link with others.  
The link will not be live until 11:00am

The video will be available to view on Youtube for 24 hours, following the conclusion of the service if you are not available to join us during live time. 

My lovely Godmother, Aunty Esther, will lead us in two songs during the service:
 "FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD" will be sung after the Sharing of Memories and "ALOHA 'OE" will be sung after the final prayers. 

Mahalo for all the phone calls, text messages, cards, flowers/plants, meals, etc.  We are truly touched and appreciatively overwhelmed by all the love you have shown for our Tutu.  Updates for the Memorial Service Mass at Santa Teresa Church will be posted here at a later date.  

With Much Aloha,
Denise and Darlene


FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD (Lyrics)

LISTEN TO A VOICE AND YOU’LL HEAR A PRAYER

LISTEN TO A HEART AND YOU’LL FIND A SOUL

LISTEN TO A SOUND AND YOU’LL HEAR A SONG,

ALL THIS FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD

LET US LIFT A VOICE TO OFFER A PRAYER

LET US SOOTH A HEART AND STRENGTHEN THE SOUL

LET US BLEND A SOUND INTO LOVELY SONG

ALL THIS FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD

Hawaiian translation to the first verse

HAPAI I KA LEO A ME KA PULE

HO`OLU`OLU KA NA`AU E HO`I IKAIKA KA `UHANE

E HO`O HUI I KA LEO ME NA MELE HAU`OLI

OHI `IA APAU NO KA HONUA MALUHIA

LET US LIFT A VOICE TO OFFER A PRAYER

LET US SOOTH A HEART AND STRENGTHEN THE SOUL

LET US BLEND A SOUND INTO LOVELY SONG

ALL THIS FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD

TAG…..ALL THIS FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD

ALOHA `OE   (Lyrics)

ALOHA `OE,  ALOHA `OE
 Farewell to thee,  farewell to thee

E KE ONAONA NOHO I KA LIPO
The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers

ONE FOND EMBRACE
One fond Embrace

A HO`I A`E AU
Ere I depart

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
 Until we meet again

Thank you Aunty Esther and Cousin Renee Ku`uleinani Price!
