Lea,
This grief is the price I pay for loving you
You had a life of service
A generous heart with great love
Your great actions gave you strength

I treasure your friendship and service
Knit this chaos mind and heavy heart
Heavy cloud of tears
To never forget yesterday

Tears will flow and sorrows follow
With the feeling of sadness
and this sorrow, heaven will heal
Watch over your darling Mike and you buddy Gen

Aere ra e taku oa akamoe'au
Aere akangaro'i, i roto i te 'au o te Metua, Tamaiti e te Vaerua Tapu.
Farewell my inspiration
