I worked with Lani at QMC Sick Child Care. We had a great time working together there. She made delicious instant saimin for the kids😉 She was always fun to be around. Smiling and a jokester. Never said a harsh word about anyone.

Words cannot describe how much I miss you, your voice, your smile, and how much joy you brought into our lives. One of my favorite memories was you taking me to my first ever softball tryouts, first practice, and first all star team, you got me my first bat, first bag, and first glove. As I grew you helped buy one of my favorite bats I have now, you always told me to do my best and to hit that dang ball! I know you were watching over me when I hit my first home run screaming "Run Tay!" I'm really gonna miss our movie days when you would take the extra popcorn home, your snow caps, your yummy food and you teaching me how to make lumpia. Love you Grandma!
First off our ohana is so grateful for your love and support as we say goodbye to our mother Lani Young. My mother is like no other. She gave me life, nutured me, fought for me, held me, shouted at me, kissed me but most importantly she loved me unconditionally. She always put her kids and grandkids first. She worked so hard to give us the life she did and I am so grateful to her for everything she has done for me and our family. I can still feel the warmth of her hugs, her infectious laughs and dont forget the ono grindz. There are not enough words i can say to describe just how important my mother was to me, and what a powerful influence she continues to be. I will always hear your voice telling me I LOVE YOU MY DOME! ❤️
No words exist to fully describe the pain and sorrow I feel about loosing not only my dear cousin, but my best friend since our birth because I am 1 month and 3 days older. I will forever miss our Thursday breakfast dates because that was her day off. She would text me at 5 am in the morning and ask “hungry?” or “ready for breakfast?” We would then pick a restaurant to meet, and one of her favorites was Country Style Kitchen in Ewa Beach. In addition to our breakfast choice, we loved sharing their huge pancake and always tried a different flavor. During breakfast we would start our talks with our favorite subjects- our grandkids! We always knew what each of our grandkids was up to! Then we would literally talk about anything on our minds! And I mean anything! No subject was off the table or embarrassing! She knew all my secrets, and I knew hers. Then when it came time to pay the bill, it was like that bank commercial “I got it!” “No, I got it!”. We would literally throw our debit cards at the waitress! But after a few months, we took a more mature approach to it by just taking turns! When breakfast was over we always hugged and kissed each other and said “I love you.” - I will miss this the most.

Aurora Leilani Young was my second mom. She was the heart of our Ohana and was always there for us whenever we needed her. I am so grateful for the love you gave, the warm hugs, your big beautiful smile, and the time we spent together. We all dream of having a mother in law who is kind, loving, and just genuine and you were all of that to me. Your departure has left a huge void no words can fill and you are truly missed. Ma we love you and miss you soo much 😘
So grateful for you aunty Lani❤️ growing up I spend way more time than I should have going to the hospital and at the dr office. My daughter sharing the same health issues has spent so much time with aunty Lani and Dr Russell. Thank you for holding it down with us for nearly three decades. Thank you for being as beautiful on the inside as you were on the outside.
We couldnt have made it over the past 28 years without her. Rest easy aunty Lani, we love you.❤️
I’m so saddened to hear about our favorite nurse at Dr. Russells. Aunty Lani you will forever be missed. Thank you for your love and kindness for Alika’s justice. The last time I seen you the first thing you asked was how’s everything going with the case. I’m so lost for words. Im still in disbelief to hear the news today from my other daughter. As she went in and asked for you. Aunty Lani you will forever be missed and my kids will always remember you. You were always there at our Drs visits. Such a devoted aunty and hard worker. We love you so much. Prayers , Love and Healing to her family. We were honored to have you as our nurse. May you rest in peace and love. Please give Alika a kiss from us as well. Thank you so much for caring for my babies since birth. You will always have a special spot in our hearts. Until we meet again in heaven. Love always🤍🕊️
My dearest Aunty Lani,
I've been having a hard time finding the words to say. My heart breaks for the emptiness I feel .... you've been in my life for 19 years and I still can't believe you're gone. I miss you and love you so much. Until we meet again, rest in love my dear gemini friend.
Aurora Leilani Young
