Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Aimee was such a wonderful woman and she deeply touched our hearts. We will miss her terribly.
Mom, you were one of a kind. You demonstrated the meaning of poise, grace and faithfulness to God in the way you lived your life. No one could meet you and not recognize that you were a special and unique person. You impacted everyone you met, and you were always quick to laugh at a good joke or story. I will always smile when I remember you dancing whenever and wherever you heard a good band, even at the wonderful age of 88. It didn’t matter if it were in your home, or at a festival in Century 2. You were a true child of the Islands who loved life and people. Your colorful view of life, your beautiful stories, and your unrelenting faith in Jesus Christ have left an indelible mark on me and untold thousands. Mom, I love you, and I already miss you. Now you can dance in the King’s court for eternity, so keep dancing Mom, keep dancing…
