Memorial Day in Hawaii

This is the first time I've been here for this occasion.  I am at the gravesites of mother, Dad Grace, and Dad Luahiwa is here, also my brother Emerson, and nephew Eldred Chong.  A walk just a few graves away is my aunty's Rose and Mary right next to each other.  See the Ko'olau range just behind me there, it's shaded but this mountain range is most spectacular, it run all along most of the middle of the Island of Oahu.
This is the first time we will not be near our son Jarrod's gravesite, but we know he is remembered every year by family and friends.  So a solemn Memorial Day weekend this year.  We will be working at the PCC on this holiday.
