Ohana and Aloha overlap to show strength of family

Aloha Airlines is MY airline. Just like the bumper sticker says. Aloha Airlines was, is and always will be a part of my family.

For as long as I can remember I have been linked to Aloha Airlines. Both of my parents worked for Aloha. My mom retired from Aloha almost three years ago. I still remember going to work with her on some Saturdays. I remember going to get-togethers that she and her co-workers used to have.

I have a lot of "aunties" and "uncles" who have known me since the day I was born. They have watched me grow up, get married and have children of my own. I am also tied to Aloha through my husband, who worked at Aloha for 11 years.

Now both of my children have lots of "aunties" and "uncles."

My son went on his very first plane ride with Aloha Airlines.

Through my mom and my husband, my family and I have been blessed to have made so many friends throughout the years that we will hold dear to our hearts for the rest of our lives.
