In Memory of Les Faletea

After a great weekend of fun and enjoyment with my sister and her family, Cliff received a call from his oldest brother, Jr., saying that their brother's best friend, Les Faletea, had just passed away from a heart atttack. He was an amazing man. When we would go over to Hawaii, Les' family would be at the beach with all of us and hang out. He was a very giving man. Not only was he a great friend to Cliff's brother, Joe, but he was known throughout as a excellent surfer in the surfing world, hence the picture of him surfing. Joe would tell us stories of him taking his children out on the surf board without having them strapped to him or anything and they would love the ride. One of his sons would even fall asleep while out on the board. My heart dropped when Cliff reported the news to me and I began to cry. I feel very sorry for his wife, Mary, and the 4 small children that were left behind. He was in very great physical shape and no one would have ever guessed that it was his time to go. But, I am thankful to have the knowledge of the gospel and knowing that families can be together forever, even friends and loved ones will be able to see each other again.
