My Niki knew so much about me more than I knew about myself,lol. He knew how to make me happy, he knew what things made me upset or unsatisfied and even knew how to prevent me from getting into mischief, haha! Even if he told me, "No!" He knew I would attempt to do it anyway and always get me out of trouble. My honey Niki was such a simple person and didn't ask for much. He would make sure everyone is satisfied and didn't expect recognition in return. Both my Parents were thankful that Niki took good care of their daughter. My Mom still holds that to heart.

Niki before he left, he complimented me on my latest accomplishments to keep my health on track. He didn't allow me to wait til after all his treatments were done months or years ahead but had me to take my self-care serious so I don't have to suffer in the long run. That's one thing I can say about my unselfish hubby is that he made sure that I was well kept. My hubby pulled a fast one on me the day he left. He had set me free and God had set me free from this Mission I was on to take care of my hubby, as I told Niki, "IT WAS AN HONOR TO TAKE CARE OF HIM, IN SICKNESS&IN HEALTH". In a heartbeat! IT WAS A KAKOU THING! MAHALO FOR A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH YOU. ♥️🙏

So Honey, after 45 yrs, I can't imagine you not here with me. But I rejoice knowing that God had called you Home to be with Him. No more painful stress on your body that held you captive and bound. Now you are set free from this world's worries. I know you have seen enough to know that your Wife and Children&Grandchildren are gonna be all right. Thank you for all that you have done to make our life comfortable. You have worked your butt off to provide for us and have paved the way for your children to make positive choices for their future. One thing I know, without Jesus on our side, life would've been doomed. You have come to except Jesus as your Savior from your Youth and experienced many Miracles in your life time. Now you are sitting up walking around and even jumping for JOY in Heaven with your Father-in-Love as you said many times: "When I get to Heaven, I'm gonna find him and tell him ALL ABOUT HIIS DAUGHTER". Haha! Tell him the good stuff about me,lol. TIL I SEE YOU AGAIN MY HONEY! A HUI HOU. And remember, I WILL NOT FORGET ABOUT YOU! WAVE ME DOWN WHEN I GET THERE. SAVE ME A SEAT NEXT TO YOU. And I'll WINK TO YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE FOUND MY SEAT NEXT TO YOU. LOVE YAH TO MILLION MORSEL KISSES.💋 LOVE, YOUR SWEETHEART NELL♥️

First, my condolences to my sister Danielle, her children and their families. I love all of you very much. Big Nick is truly missed.
This is my memory of My brother in law Niki Kanui Jr., he was the best! He was my childhood friend met thru family, youth convention, and he worked for my father at R&R Moss Rock. He was fun to hang out with, kind, and with a big heart! He was a good friend.
He married my sister Danielle! He was her protector, provider, and loved her very much. I was very happy when they got married. While I was still young and single lol - he always made sure me and my older sister Michaeleen was always taken cared of - especially during the holidays like valentines and Christmas. We always got a gift too! He became the god father to my oldest child Kourtney because he was a good man and a caring person. He was someone you can trust. I appreciate him very much for all he did over the years for our family.
He’s already missed on this earth; but we know “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!”
Love and miss you, Big Nick!
