What a Wonderful World By Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

Trees of green and Red roses too I’ll watch them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue And I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark And I think to myself What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people passing by See friends shaking hands Saying, “How do you do” They’re really saying, “I, I love you”

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow They’ll learn much more Than we’ll know And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Healing Prayer

To Those I Love and Those Who Loved Me

When I am gone,

release me, let me go I have so many things

to see and do You mustn’t tie yourself

to me with tears Be thankful for our

many beautiful years I gave to you my love,

you can only guess How much you have

given to me in happiness I thank you for the love

you always have shown, But now it’s time

I traveled on alone So grieve a while for me,

If grieve you must Then let your grief be

comforted by trust It’s only for a time that we must part

I won’t be far away, for life goes on

So if you need me, call and I will come

Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near

And if you listen with your heart,

You’ll hear All my love around you soft and clear

And then, when you must come this way alone,

I’ll greet you with a smile, and say…….

Joseph Cutter July 3, 2008 - March 1, 2009

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me now, for now I'm free

I'm following the path God has laid you see.

I took his hand when I heard his call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way

I found the peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joys

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief -

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee -

God wanted me now; He set me free.

Michael Herbert Diamond

Mr. Michael Herbert Diamond

November 15, 1951 - July 3, 2030

Mr. Michael Herbert Diamond--son of Nathen and Tammy Diamond was

born on November 15, 1951 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

He passed away peacefully on July 3, 2030 at the Kaiser Moanalua

Michael Diamond, a 1973 graduate of the University of Hawaii at Manoa

was father, who was totally supportive of his wife and children. He easily

made friends while commuting to work on the bus from his Aiea home to

Mr. Diamond was the epitome of the ideal husband and father--a

caring and gentle person who always had a beautiful smile that emulated

from within.

His family and friends will greatly miss him--but he will always remain in

our hearts and fondest memories.

Inurnment will be on July 23, 2009 at 2:00 pm at the Punchbowl
