Aloha Wau Ia Oe Aunty Frenchy. We appreciate any help you can give us today to help the Americans understand what is going on in Hawai'i and to tell their government to restore our Kingdom IF everyone would show their most utmost respect and honor to, the Liliuokalani Assigment which U.S. President Grover Cleveland and Queen Liliuokalani signed nine months after the Jan. 1893 illegal overthrow to make what was hewa, pono again. It's been 118 years that the US Congress did not implement the assignment it's time for the Hawaiians to put their feet down

Love You,

Kawehiokalaninui-I-iamamao Kanui,

One of the younger generation of activist

ALOHA Kakou, e Hawaii,

       I know of no greater fighter for the rights of our people then Aunty Frenchy.

       I am thankful that I was able to share mana'o i'o i with Aunty Frenchy.

       Like my Grandma, I now have another Kupuna that I can go to in prayers with Aunty Frenchy.

       I Love You, Aunty Frenchy, o Pomai
