Mrs. Hambaro (Momma Hambaro) was a very special soul loved by many. I had the pleasure of helping her son, William Hambaro take care of his mom and give his sister, Cindy a break from being the primary care giver for Momma Hambaro. I have some many great memories of Momma Hambaro. I still remember the first day I met her; she handed me a flower from her flower garden at Wanaka Street. William and I lived down stairs from her at the Wanaka Street house for three years before moving to Makaha. I can still hear her knocking at the back door at the Wanaka Street house. William and I spent several Motherâ€™s Days with Momma Hambaro. And I would not traded those memories for anything; because, it brought lots of joy to her son. Momma Hambaro and I loved watching â€œI Love Lucyâ€. She loved relaxing in the garden at the Makaha House while watching the momma hen and her chicks run around in the yard. I am so grateful to have known such a kind, loving, and gentle soul. I will miss you dearly. And you will forever be in my heart!

Mom went to heaven to be reunited with her husband Frank. She asked me me how my mother, Dolly was when I visited her a few years ago. I told her that Dolly had passed away in 2011, Becky kept asking â€œhow is your Mom?â€ Finally I told her that Dolly was in heaven with frank and they were having a whiskey together. Becky understood, Becky was a warm and accepting person. She loved all her children. When her grandson Garrett and Grandaughter Jade were born she came to the mainland to teach me how to take care of them. She loved to cook. There was always food. , Pork Adobo, Pansit, chicken long rice, Beef Stew, pot roast and my favorite coconut, sweet rice, sugar, steamed in leaves. Thank you Julie, Frank, William and Cindy for taking good care of Mom in her final years, and continuing family traditions.

My mom had dementia for many years before she passed. I think if not for my sister Cynthia, she would not lasted as long or as well as she did. I am forever thankful.At times, I would take my mom for weekends at the home in Makaha she help build along with my father over a half century ago. It is where they raised the family.Recently, I could see her frailty as she struggled to walk even with my help. Often she would gaze unblinking into the distance in what I would call the thousand mile stare. Yet occasionally she would come out with an impish smile and the look of recognition at who she was and where. Moments of brilliance. One early morning I heard her rustling in bed. She had fell previously necessitating a hospital visit a month earlier. Rushing to her side I gently put my fingers under her nostrils feeling for breath. Faintly, but still there. Relief. Still, I knew the day was just beginning, with more care awaiting. I have a faded picture of my mom and I. She is holding me as an infant. Those same thoughts of care surely ran through her mind when she held me in her arms as I now held her. And I thought perhaps as she once did -- that there is no greater joy.Â Miss you forever mom,Bill
