Kandace Kaieie Waho English
August 24, 1951 – February 28, 2008
We are mourning the loss of Ohokulani’s mother. On the evening of February 28, Kandace English passed away at age 56, she had died of respiratory failure.
The funeral was held on March 4. So many family and friends came to mourn the loss. In spite of the difficult circumstances, it was good to spend time with that part of the family.
On March 7, Ohokulani, Tom, George (Mom’s Husband), Ohokulani’s sisters, Missy and Lahela, step-brother, Mahi, and his wife, Anna flew to the Kalaupapa Penninsula. Mom had asked that her ashes be buried in the same place where her mom and sister had been laid to rest. The setting, overlooking the northern sea cliffs of Molokai, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. (See Pictures Section)
It was providential that we spent this past Christmas on Molokai with our family there. Although the majority of the time was spent with Ohokulani’s Dad’s side of the family (see picture on the reverse side), we spent Christmas day with Ohokulani’s Mom and step-dad, George. We didn’t realize then that this was to be the last time with Mom, but we feel blessed to have had that precious time with her.
Needless to say, the time since has been difficult. We thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers.
