She said to me one time, "When I wake up in the morning I think, What fun thing can I do today?" She must have said it to everyone because it was in the program on the day we celebrated her life. The best example of hope there could ever be. A rarity in all of our lives.a happy, joyful, vibrant woman grateful for every good thing in her life. You may think I am stretching the truth because no one is really like this, but she really was that amazing. We would go on for hours with never ending diet coke from very patient waitresses as we just kept laughing and talking. Each conversation was uplifting because she never spoke ill of anyone, being positive was simply who she was. I cherished those times together, we talked about politics, family, callings and what we had just read. Often she would text or call and say, "I need some Donna time, lets go to lunch!" And she would always make sure it happened, not those vague, empty invitations of "we should get together"but then never do. She always reminded me of what I was doing well, I never left her without feeling better. Have you ever met anyone without guile? No deception just total honesty in all her actions with never a mean word out of her mouth, ever. I simply loved her, and I miss her so much. The line, "too soon gone" has never been more true, but "never, ever forgotten" is more to the point. She was a force of nature, she lit up every room and taught us all how to laugh in any situation, how to have fun and how to love. I honestly cannot believe that Keahi is gone. A woman we both love.the loss is painful, sobering and yet poignant. Recently I sat with one of my closest friends as we attended the funeral of another dear and wonderful friend.
