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. www.BayAreaMortuary.com/GwenlynKing.html
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!
