BELOVED AUNTY ATA
March 24, 2006
When I first met Aunty Ata I was in need of a loving, kind "mom-type-friend".
She was the gift from God. I was dating her nephew, Ete Savini. I was far away from home and very confused about WHAT TO DO! Aunty Ata is the person I talked with alot about Samoan culture and customs. She helped me to understand what things meant. She explained in such a kind and loving way. Her two children , Howard and Jessie, were amazing. I recall Jessie, still in high school, running things. She handled the checkbook, drove the car and took care of business for the family. What impressed me in the beginning and what still impresses me is the love they have always shown their mother and the tight bond between them. When they moved to California I was so sad. She was full of love and kindness towards us all. Aunty Ata always made you feel welcome. She smiled with sparkling eyes. She loved us, prayed for us, and only saw the best in us. THAT quality is what the world needs more of. Aunty did not ever talk bad about people. She saw good. She looked for good. And, she found it, because we always made a point to go see her whenever we were in California. We felt wonderful around her. She created that feeling in us all. I have seen her children, grandchildren
and even great grandchildren beaming because they felt so well loved. This is the legacy of Aunty Ata...she loved well.
