from Peceli
It's a beautiful day in Suva with the sunshine shining. Yesterday the church service in Coloisuva went well, the monthly service and the singing was excellent. Tauvu, the late Saimoni Kete's brother is the Choir master of the Church and it brought back the memory of the Labasa Choir in Kete's time.
I went to the Centenary Church at 4pm to attend the monthly combined service and then we had food and kava and then I came home.
I am really busy with looking after three boys because of their unexpected
school holiday so we went to the Swimming Pool in Laucala beach and it was very good. Tonight we are having kava at home. Bale went to the funeral of some distant relative. My regard to the DIK team tomorrow.
Fiji is still the best place on earth, a Chinese woman said to me. She is the owner of a cafe and she said this to me comparing it with Sydney.

I am Proud to know that there is some tauvu of Saimoni Kete that knows This man In a personal way .
This man Mr Saimoni Kete Has left me Sad .IF I had only Known that death is my and his enemy I wouldnt be so sadly missing him
We knew Saimoni and Mele and their family very well - through his leading of the choirs that came to Australia in the 80s at Peceli's invitation, and then again on visits to Labasa. We knew they migrated to USA, that he subsequently became a minister, and then we heard of his death. A lovely family.

If you mean Gillian's family. Her son ran a travel bureau for several years but I haven't caught up with them lately. Gillian still lives in that nice place halfway to Ocean Grove. Their church is still very active and involved with helping refugees these days.
