Lakolako ni Koro ni Vasu nei Tata - Nabouwalu Ono Kadavu.

Dad's maternal links are from Tokatoka Valebalavu, Mataqali Naturu, Yavusa Naturu, Nabouwalu, Ono, Kadavu.

Dad always had a soft spot for his koro ni vasu and never backed down when called on by his brothers for duties of the vanua.

His mum is the youngest of 6 children of Kalaveti Rasova and Sereani Likutokalau

Vinaka Vakalevu Calvary Temple Church , Family Class for the beautiful flowers. Our family was blessed to have joined the church in 2010.

Dads love for Gods children led him to be part of the Sunday School team where he became a Sunday School teacher and later on became one of the Qase ni Lotu.

Mum was always by his side and is part of the Womens Ministry in Church

One of Dad's favorite Bible story he loved to share was the story about Joseph. He usually reminded us that no matter how far you get in life, to always look after your family. As did Joseph when he reached the highest pinnacle of his life he did not forget about his family.
