Aloha Family and Friends,

It is with heavy hearts that we shared the unexpected news of the passing of our beloved Vinnette on June 16th, 2025. Vinnette was not just a wife, daughter, mother, sister, and grandmother; she was a radiant presence in all of our lives, leaving a profound impact on everyone she encountered. Her kindness and compassion touched countless hearts, and her laughter could light up a room. Vinnette fought a fierce battle against cancer, enduring the challenges with remarkable strength and grace. As we navigate this incredibly difficult period, we are in the process of making arrangements for her memorial services and fulfilling her final wish to be laid to rest in her cherished homeland of Chuuk. Many of you have reached out, generously offering to help during this time of sorrow so we have created a means for donations. Your kindness and compassion mean the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for all the love and support you have shown us during this challenging time. Thank you for standing by us as we honor Vinnette's beautiful life and legacy.
