With heavy hearts, we say adios to my beloved Mali, Lion Lois Taitano Gumataotao. You were more than a nina to my children – you were family, a guiding light, and a constant source of love and strength in our lives. Your presence and unwavering support will forever be cherished.
I am deeply grateful for the many years we shared together as ESL teachers/coordinators at LBJ Elementary School. Those moments were filled with purpose, laughter, and a shared passion for helping others – memories I will always hold close to my heart. You were not only a colleague but one of my best friends. Together, we conducted countless educational presentations, joined organizations, attended conferences, and volunteered in the community, always striving to make a difference. We proudly served alongside one another in organizations such as PIBBA, IRA (now ILA), the UOG-SOE Alumni Association, Ginen i Hila i Maga’taotao Siha Association, Guahan Isan Fama’guon Lions Club, Guam Interagency Coordinating Council, and so many more.
Mali, you touched so many lives, and your legacy of love and service will continue to live on through all of us who were blessed to know you. Hu guaiya hao, Mali. You are now in a better place, in heaven above.
Rest in peace. You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. We love you always. 🙏🙏🙏😭❤️
