ksl.com - Former Relief Society leader Chieko Okazaki dies at 84

Very sad. I loved her talks and her books.

[Guest]

Oh, this is sad news. It makes me even more grateful that I got to hear her speak at Time Out for Women 2 years ago.

[Guest LiterateParakeet]

Sad day for us, Happy day for Sis. Okazaki.

[applepansy]

thank you for posting this Pam. I hadn't heard anything on the news.

She is a wonderful woman.

One of the reasons my wife converted. Aloha 'oe ala nui.

Just for you local girl.

Ha`aheo ka ua i nâ pali

Ke nihi a`ela i ka nahele

E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko

Pua `âhihi lehua o uka

Hui:

Aloha `oe, aloha `oe

E ke onaona noho i ka lipo

One fond embrace,

A ho`i a`e au

Until we meet again

`O ka hali`a aloha i hiki mai

Ke hone a`e nei i

Ku`u manawa

`O `oe nô ka`u ipo aloha

A loko e hana nei

Maopopo ku`u `ike i ka nani

Nâ pua rose o Maunawili

I laila hia`ia nâ manu

Miki`ala i ka nani o ka lipo

Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs

As it glided through the trees

Still following ever the bud

The `ahihi lehua of the vale

Chorus:

Farewell to you, farewell to you

The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers

One fond embrace,

'Ere I depart

Until we meet again

Sweet memories come back to me

Bringing fresh remembrances

Of the past

Dearest one, yes, you are mine own

From you, true love shall never depart

I have seen and watched your loveliness

The sweet rose of Maunawili

And 'tis there the birds of love dwell

And sip the honey from your lips

This saddens me... though I'm glad she's reunited with her husband. She was one of my favorite LDS authors.
