Its taken me this long to come on board and write to you my gal because i still cry even just thinking about you let alone having to write something, and if anyone knows me like you do when i cry its full on waterworks then nek minut the next morning my eyes are fula as like someone punched my makas lol.

I was looking through my viber,emails,private messages on FB and i still have our convos from when my fam moved to ozzy that was like 2yrs now go figure.
Anyways i miss you everyday and i wanted to thankyou for being the greatest sister n law,wife to my bro,mother to my niece,aunty to our kids and daughter to my parents.

We will cherish all the wonderful things you did and done in our family, our family gatherings will not be the same without you but no doubt you will be there in spirit.
You are now in heaven watching over us but before i finish up if you can magically make my lotto numbers come up that would be great haha.
Love you gal from me,fill and my DOVE crew..xoxoxo

To our Beautiful Cherie, we miss you so so much, gone so young, however God had greater plans then we for you. I still recall the evening before you left us, we had popped over to drop off Azzys bday invite, you laughed & joked like always. We will miss hearing you laugh, your blonde sayings but moreso your carefree spirit. You will be super proud of Lua & Gabz, they made you a proud mum on your big day. Kisila go rest in the arms of the Lord, Dont worry about Gabz, Lua, Mum, Aso, Mai & Pele & their families, we will watch em for you. Thank you for your "Awesomeness"!!

To my dearest mate, the one that will never be replaced...thank you for everything you ever said to me, all the advice you ever gave me, for being the person and friend you were and being there for me and my girls whenever I needed that support. I miss our little talks and laughs we always had, how the smallest things our girls did, we would share with each other and be so proud over it. Oh my goodness, the office is not the same without you, it's soooo quiet, I sit there waiting for our "Wahanui" to walk in and make some noise!! Before I type a novel, I am going to leave it here and end saying that no matter where I may end up in life, know that you will always be there in my heart because you were such a influence, how can anyone forget you :) p.s my girls keep asking me where their "Samoan Aunty" is, I tell them that you're visiting their grandpa, so go visit him and introduce yourself like I know you will and tell him how great I am :) LOL...Love you mate..xxx..

If life is measured by the way we live -the way we serve, the way we give.....
If life is measured by the words we say - the love expressed along the way.....
If life is measured by the smiles we share - the kindnesses,the way we care.....
Then your life's measure is clearly known, for these are all the things Sila shown.
Rest in Peace Sister Sila
