When I first met CIA-I thought that she could be a top model if she wanted to be. She was so beautiful inside and out. One time, my mother and I we’re arguing and it was about to get physical. I say ABOUT because without hesitation CIA jump in the middle of us and stopped what would have been a horrible occurance. She was such a kind soul. This hurts. Life is not fair!

I was shocked to hear that a Rainbow Wahine volleyball player died so young. I guess she is the first one. (Please correct me if I am mistaken.) I never saw her play as I didn’t live in Hawaii at the time and there was no online broadcast then. I only heard her name in the news when Hawaii played in the Final Four and lost to Stanford. Also, I was surprised that she succumbed to lung cancer despite the fact that she never smoked. I wonder if either of her two consecutive husbands smoked or she grew up in a smoking household. I always assumed that lung cancer is a preventable disease. So sad that a mother of five was taken away prematurely. My sympathies extend to her children, especially the little ones.

Very unfortunately, Stage IV cancer has metastasized and the prognosis is not good, no matter what the medicine. For example, non-smokers can develop lung cancer from other causes, genetic, second hand smoke, and even air pollution. It is so sad that she did everything right to be diagnosed early for possibly life saving treatment, yet it was resistant to discovery and the medical system sounds like it also let her down.

Rest in aloha, Cecelia. That is the name I knew her by at KS. She was tall, soft-spoken, had big, beautiful light brown eyes, curly hair, and a pretty smile. We weren’t super close friends, but close enough for me to be able to say that she was kind. Life seems so unfair sometimes. Praying for her beautiful ohana. Aloha, Nicole (Keohokalole) Tupuola

My condolences to the Goods-Fernandez Ohana. May our Heavenly Father bring comfort and peace to her husband and children. She was a wonderful, amazing athlete and a beautiful person also. I remember her nice smile and spunkiness on the court as a MB for our Wahine Volleyball Team. May the Lord bless this entire ohana always.

Her battle was hard fought. I will forever see her in the top row of the Kamehameha stands supporting while in her cap or head scarf, loving on her kids no matter what…
