Tribute to Rosalie

                     - from Nu'u and Annie La'apui


Rosalie Pedder was a woman of dignity & faith. 
We have known her for at least 15 years. 

She stood firm in her beliefs. 
She championed the cause of young people.
She had a passion for education.
She was convinced that everyone can learn, just not in the same way.
She helped many find new ways to learn.

She helped promote and release God's special annointing and giftings in individuals.
She cheered on many of our islanders to seek the highest.
... to Go for it and achieve, with God.

Rosalie, was a dear friend to my late wife Melinda.
She was always there to cheer her up by her prescence and frequent visits.
They were best of friends and always wanted to go on educational trips together.
Now, they can go anywhere they want!

Rosalie was one of my heroes.
And I know she will always be there with all the other saints.
To cheer me on to complete what God has started.
Because He is a great finisher and the author of our faith.

To families and friends, we lost a great friend.
But she is with God and she is completely healed.
And will be busier than ever, helping to plan the second comming
    [much laughter from the crowd]
and educating all the disciples and the saints in what to do!!!  [more laughter]

So long and farewell to Rosalie our good and faithful friend.

With much aloha from Hawaii,

Nu'u & Annie La'apui
