I would like to send my condolences to my dear friend Afa and his family.

He informed me today that his sister, Elevera Anoa'i Fatu passed away yesterday morning at 11:45 ET. She has been fighting cancer for over 7 years now.

Afa and Lynn rushed to her side just before WrestleMania, to read more about the trip, it is in my snail mail Wrestling Chatterbox Newsletter. Below is a picture of them with Elevera home from the hospital.

Lynn and Afa will be going to Las Vegas on Wednesday for the services. The burial is scheduled for Sunday, May 4th.

Elevera is the mother of Umaga, Rikishi and the Tonga Kid.

His sister leaves behind a very large family of 6 children and over 30 grandchildren and several great grandchildren.

If anyone would like to send condolences, drop a line to Afa at Samoan1@aol.com.
