It was pretty much what crgrover said. I just cried when Faye told me they all stood and sang "Aloha O'e". Faye also told me it was a funny, but uplifting service, something Jon would have loved. I guess Addie flew to Utah last night after the service and leaves for Jerusalem today. It will be good for her to be busy and somewhat distracted by this study abroad. Like you, I would rather have been in Concord yesterday and not here in Utah. I understand the schedule, just wish we could have made it. <br /><br />So sad to hear about Hazie. That little angel has had a rough couple of months. What a blessing to Jen and Lowell that you and Jim are able to stay and help out a bit longer. Try and think of that suitcase as a blessing in disguise! Our prayers are with all of you as well as the Aikele's.Caroline Cravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197251841557790229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421770883465385103.post-13853577381269924102011-01-03T23:27:51.372-08:002011-01-03T23:27:51.372-08:00I am keeping Hazie in my prayers as always Bonnie....I am keeping Hazie in my prayers as always Bonnie. So sorry that this little sweetheart has so many health problems. Love the picture of your grand daughters. Sorry too, that you were unable to get home to your friend's funeral. (((hugs))) I am impressed Jim is grocery shopping! Todd hates grocery shopping and the few times I send him to pick up something, he always inevitably comes home with the wrong thing!! Love you loads, and keep us updated on little Hazie!

Just thought I would let you know that...Hi Bonnie,<br /><br />Just thought I would let you know that Mike and I are faithful blog readers, and we always hope that there is good news about little Hazie. I am so glad that you and Jim are there, as I am sure that Jen and Lowell are about worn to a frazzle with all of the ups and downs little Hazie has had lately. It is such a help to have you there with the other girls, both for them and Lowell and Jen.<br /><br />I just thought I would let you know that I was at Jon's funeral. It was wonderful and uplifting. I have sort of known who Timme was for quite a while, but I didn't know Jon as well. Our daughter Katie's father-in-law was Jon's cousin. They are the same age, and I guess growing up were more like brothers. It just happened that Dave Spear, Katie's father-in-law was in town this weekend because Katie and Braden (her husband) had their new little baby blessed Sunday. We had gotten to know Jon better because every time Dave came into town, he spent time with the Aikele's. Dave Spear gave the eulogy at the funeral. So I went to the funeral both because Timme is the Relief Society President, and because now we sort of thought of Jon as a "cousin" because of Dave.<br /><br />It was a beautiful service with lots of stories and laughter, tears, and fond remembrances. He will be greatly missed. Bishop Burr and the entire family wore orchid leis. I didn't know what the Hawaiian connection was until after when I asked Dave Spear about it, and he explained that Jon had half brothers and sisters that are Hawaiian and I guess spent some of his growing up years in Hawaii. His one half brother who is Hawaiian spoke, and all of the talks were great.<br /><br />At the end, everyone stood and sang Aloha O'e (sp?) which is a Hawaiian tradition. Then everyone in unison said Aloha. It was very touching, and a great tribute. Bishop Burr made the statement, which Mike had heard just yesterday on BYU TV that no righteous man is taken before his time. He said that we are bound by the laws of time, but God is not, and Jon's need much have been greater on the other side. Since we are human and constrained by the limits of time, we will have to be comforted in knowing that God knows what is best.<br /><br />Anyway, we are thinking of you and praying for little Hazie.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Conniecrgroverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840844791978836476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421770883465385103.post-55781625321000795652011-01-03T14:42:09.927-08:002011-01-03T14:42:09.927-08:00OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...5 ferral cats sleep warm again...OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...5 ferral cats sleep warm against the concrete building.
