I was lucky enough to know Her. Few people knew how really Special She was as a person. If You ever met Her You'd never forget Her. She had a quality that like defined Her as someone who was unique. She was different from other girls. I remember the Poi. *Warm Smile* I will Miss Her so Very Much. She was the first girl that ever touched my Heart. I'm so sorry for Your loss.
Marylani might not remember me but I remember her from our 6th grade class at Emerson Elementary. She was a very sweet girl and what I remember most is that she was from Hawaii which I thought was so exotic and one day she brought poi for all of us to try. I have not seen her since 6th grade but when I saw her obituary I instantly remembered her. So sorry for your loss.
