Laurie and I send our heartfelt condolensences to all Samoans, particularly to those at Litia Sini in Lalomanu, where we were on holiday in August 2009. We are very concerned for your safety and wellbeing. xo Jayne
To Tai and Sili, Sina, Mepa and all of you at Lalomanu, words cannot express the sorrow and pain we are feeling for your terrible loss. You have all created something so special in the hearts of so many people with your open-hearted generosity, love and hospitality over the years that has shown us the very best of Samoa. You are the reason we come back again and again to Samoa. We will see you again soon.
Love and gratitude from Russell and Mac

My heart goes out to the families who have lost dear loved ones, it’s hard to even imagine what you are all going through at this time, we will embrace the memories we had with them, remember their hearts of Gold, and rejoice that they are in the safe hands of our Father now. I’m thankful my family are safe back home, but even so, we’ve all lost something in our hearts from this tragedy. We can only hold our heads up high, Remember the loved ones we’ve lost and unite as one as we continue our journey. Let us join together and help build our beautiful nation back to how we remember it to be….. PARADISE.
I pray for our nation and that we continue to be blessed with all the love and support we have received from the world. It’s amazing how the power of GOD can be enforced within seconds. God is good, All the time.
SAMOA MO SAMOA!!!…
