Life story

Born at Tripler Army Medical Center a large pink Hospital in Hawaii. Survived Carcinoma Cancer at 15, saved her Husband from Cancer by knowing not to take the symptoms for granted, and to investigate all avenues. When the doctors gave poor prognosis she went looking for doctors with more confidence in treatment. She loved playing board and card games, Dr Who, StarWars, and her Gunner and Luna. (Two rather large dogs). We know Jehova embraces her at the end of time. She had numerous half sister and brothers. We miss her infectious laugh and giggles.
