Although I've only met Lesieli a few times, as my wife and I live in Arizona, we knew Lesieli as a fun, inelegant and adventurous woman. We were amazed at the way she raised her children, to understand their mixed heritage and to be proud of it, Her lesson included the fact that not all people were understanding of that heritage, but i was their loss and not the children's problem. She was an amazing woman and she will be more than missed.
