I have attended funeral services for people who died before and right after birth, some died from of some sort of disease, some died from accident, some died for war, some died from natural disasters, some died from suicide, some were put to death as directed by law ... Everyone of these funerals had a common message, the death is allocated to and is in accordance with the Lord's Will. - Devil Dog Kava

I just want to clear the air with the truth from endless rumors from Tonga to USA, because it breaks my heart to know that my aunty did her best and after everything she has done she is disrespected, ignored and not given the gratitude she deserves. I want everyone to know that VInisia was well taken care of in USA by her aunty Kolotina from day one to the day she was laid to rest. -Jane Ramona Taufa

The King is gravely ill and there is no doubt who will be the successor to the throne. Is it improper to ask, "Should He (Crown Prince) be king?" I wish it was like the early years of the Kanokupolu Dynasty where the king was selected by personal traits and leadership abilities, not birthright. I am sure the Crown Prince is a fine gentleman. My crystal ball does not predict what the future holds for him during his reign. - Tama Foa

Not too many people are aware of the gigantic volcanic ridge that separates the Kingdom of Tonga and the Fijian Islands, and the fact that this same ridge extends in a north-south direction from the southern most island of Tonga, `Ata, through Kao and Tofua Islands in the Ha`apai Group, to Fonualei in the Vava`u Group, and also Tafahi and Niuafo`ou in the extreme north, and even all the way to the Samoas. The volcanic activities in this ridge are so proactive that the bottom of the earth keeps rumbling and moving everyday. It may even be the most active volcanic ridge in the world. - ‘Ofa ki Tonga
