Dear Papa, Aunty Toni, Aunty Rena, & the rest of the Bactad Family:

We were first introduced to the Bactads over 20+ years ago, when “Tutu“ and “Papa” agreed to babysit our young toddlers (David and later, Daniel). Tutu and Papa not only opened up their home to us, but their hearts as well. They treated our family as part of their extended family and for that, the Bactads have our undying gratitude. Since then, our two boys have grown up, but they have never forgotten the love they received from Tutu.

One of our favorite memories has to be Halloween, 2009. David and Daniel were so excited to show off their costumes to Tutu and Papa. Their very first “Trick or Treat!” experience began at your home in Palolo. Thank you, Tutu, for that special memory. Even though we knew Tutu but for a brief moment in time, her life touched us profoundly and we shall never forget her. May her soul be at peace in the presence of the Divine.

With loving memory, the Kondo Ohana (Randall, Laurie, David, and Daniel).

Before I lived on the island, each time I would visit I was met with a beautiful smile, warm embrace and Aloha from this wonderful woman. In my twenty years of memories with her, no single one is different from another because even on cloudy days her smile would light up the horizon and was infectious to all around her. I remember facetiming with her on some of those cloudy days, but she only had a smile to share, even when she was unwell, you never saw anything on her face but a big beautiful aloha smile. Though I was not in you world when named by my parents, I want to think that the universe was putting us together even then as your namesake.

Family, Friends, Friends who became family,
We need to hold them all a bit tighter,
Life is beautiful because it is brief,
And transcending is just the beginning of something new!

Aunty Val you will be missed.
A Hui Hou!
