In Love for My Pele Lisa Kelemete

Blessings My Family and My Utmost Apologies, It Is Within The Deepest Part of My Heart and The Most Inner Part of My Soul, I Convey The Sharpest Pain of an Undefinable Breaking of My Heart and My Spirit… To Know Me Is To Know the Love of My Life and The Story of Our Beginning… We Met, Nearly 30yrs Ago in Western Samoa (Samoa) She was Dancer for a Show and I Was a Contracted Dj Who Flew In From American Samoa… To DJ the Show at Margreytah’s in Matautu. We Met the Night I Flew Into Western Samoa, Thursday October 28th 1993, to Check the Stage Setup and Speak to the Owner Vaitoilau to Set the Terms. As We Spoke, This Tall Samoan Girl Walks Past Me to Greet The Owner and Ignores Me… The Owner Says, Lisa This Is Kelemeke, and Lisa Pays Me No Mind… Sizing Me Up and Scoffing at My Appearance. Vaitoilau Says to Lisa, Why Don’t You Ask Kelemeke If He Would Like to Dance… and in Samoan Lisa Says Eh Ke Fia Siva?(Aye You Wanna Dance?) as She Only Spoke Samoan, My Reply Was a Polite No (Due to the Meeting)To Which Lisa Scoffed at Me Again And Started to Walk Away… I Got Up Quickly Grabbed Her Right Hand and Said, I Apologize, But, If You Wait My Meeting Is Almost Over I Can Take You to Get Something To Eat… Within 30sec of Our First Meeting We Have Been Inseparable for Over 30yrs and Being Blessed With 7 Children and A Lifetime of Memories. We Have Djed 1000s of Events from Western Samoa, Am Samoa to All Over Oahu… for 30yrs She Has Been My GPS My Backup Driver to Events and Carried Sound Equipment Lights and Cables… She Has Cooked Cleaned Ironed Scheduled Scolded Prayed and Prepped Everything For My Children and I. She Is Blunt, Brutally Honest, Extremely Independent and Fiercely Dedicated to God and Family. Having Strengthened Her Faith in The Solid Rock Fellowship Assembly of God While Listening to A Sermon By Pastor T at A Samoan Flagday Event at Keehi Lagoon Years Ago.

This Afternoon I Received a Call from HPD at 1:42pm and Was Informed, While In The Lobby Waiting for Her Dialysis Treatment, My Wife Fainted and After 3 Hrs of Trying to Revive My Pele (Beloved) the Doctor Told Me They Can Do No More… With All of This My Family, I Am a Broken Man, 30yrs of Love and Life Building a Family Through Trials of Leaving Samoa to Build a Better Future For Our Children. Always With Thoughts of Our Returning Home To Samoa One Day… Promises of Growing Old Together… No Longer Holds Meaning… With the Hardest and Harshest of Realities of Kissing My Wife on Her Forehead Goodbye And Walking Out With My 2 Youngest Crying for Their Mom… Screaming Wake Up Mom Please Mom Wake Up!! Dad! Mom is Just Sleeping… She Is Sleeping Dad! We Have to Take Her Home… These Words Will Echo Forever In My Head. We Stayed 6hrs after Her Time of Passing… Praying She Would Wake Up and Walk Out With Us… From a Young Girl Finding a Way To Call Me In Am Samoa from a Pay Phone at Yukizaki In Western Samoa to A Blessing of a Wife FaceTiming Me 20 Times a Day… To Now… A Memory of My Love My Life and Her Spirit Within My Heart. With All the Love in My Heart for All of You My Family… I Apologize for Asking for Your Help in This My Time of Need But I Am Unable to Bear This Load on My Own… With Recently Losing My Job… My Wife Did Not Want to Tell Me She Was Looking for Work to Help Us Pay Our Bills. She Was At an Orientation Before She Went to Her Dialysis Appointment. She Parked Walked In Sat Down and Collapsed While Waiting in the Lobby. She Did Not Recover… With All the Love In My Heart My Family I Humbly Ask for Your Love in Any Donations To Help My Children and I, Lay My Wife To Rest In Love… Funeral Expenses and Protocols Are Beyond My Abilities and Without Work I Plead With You My Family for Help Even if in Prayer. I Am Always Honest In My Words and Direct In My Heart. My Pele Has Gone On Before Me and I Am Truly Grateful to God That She Is Not the One to Suffer to Say Her Goodbye to Me… Again My Family, I Apologize for Asking for Help and I Am Always Grateful and Appreciative of and for All of You Always. On Behalf of My Beautiful Wife My Children and Myself… Thank You All So Much for Having Been in My Wife Lisa’s Life and A Blessing For My Children and I. Again Please, Forgive Me for Asking and My Apologies for My Fragmented Message of Love and Missing of My Heart My Pele My Big and Beautiful Babay…

Alofa Tele Atu/Sending Great Love My Family and as Always On Behalf of My Blessing of a Wife My Children and Myself Truly, Truly Thank You and God Bless.
