First and foremost, I want to offer my sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to the families of Lydia Fataua and Klement Pua'auli. As a mother and grandmother, I cannot imagine the pain and grief that parents must suffer when standing by helplessly while a child slips away to be with the Lord. A parent outliving their child is heartbreaking beyond comprehension. I know I speak for our entire community when I express the depth of my own sadness and know that we all hold these children in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.
