FOREVER MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!! R.I.L OUR BELOVED SISTER

"Our future destiny lies on the other side of the veil. When I die I want the privilege of going where God my Heavenly Father is, and where Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, is." Wilford Woodruff

About a month ago we had a tragedy happen in our family, on Thursday September 1, 2011 both of my sisters Jazmyn Malia Davidson and Janelle Lula Tongaonevai were in a major car accident. From what I was told it was a drunk driver going 90 mph that ran a red light and T-boned my sisters car, they were coming from my brother-in-law Ron's football game when the accident occurred. My heart goes out to my brother-in-law Ron Tongaonevai not only did  he see the whole accident, but he was also there trying to revive both of my sisters. Unfortunately one of my sisters did not survive the accident which was Janelle Lula Tongaonevai, and my other sister Jazmyn Malia Davidson was in critical condition and was rushed to the hospital. After several nights and a few surgeries later Jazzy was released from the hospital, she is so strong and is recovering each day more and more. It was so crazy how much strength my little sister has, during the time when she was in the hospital everyone was overwhelmed with shock and all kinds of mixed emotions. But yet the one involved in the car accident is over here comforting everyone else with words like "I will be alright..don't cry...everything will be ok:)" When were the ones that are suppose to be comforting her..not only that but also how much pain she endured just to recover faster so she would be able to attend our sister's funeral. Janelle is
my older sister and she is the eldest out of five kids plus our other 8 brothers and sisters which equals 13 all together. During our younger years nelle was always known for being the smart one or the talented one, as we got a lil older into Jr high and high school years she was one of the popular girls. They even had their own lil clique which was called "the pink ladies," also during those years she met her high school sweetheart..the love of her life..Ron F. Tongaonevai Jr. These two dated for about 7/8 years before they got married in the slc temple on July 31, 2010. Their relationship has been and will always be a great example to me, they have shown me a love that is unbreakable, unconditional, but most of all ETERNAL! As we got older we went through so many graduations, birthdays, weddings, and many other family gatherings and occasions together. Nelle and Ron were always the life of the party, no matter where we were they would always be crackin jokes, doing impersonations, or just quoting lines off of funny movies. Growing up with my sister she was the biggest jokester, ok you know how

everyone has a blond moment every so often well I was one to have it consistently and nelle caught everyone of them LOL!..if you slipped up once in front of her then that was it you would never hear the end of it. Till this day I still heard all of my embarrassing moments especially when we got together with all the cousins, but that was the kind of personality nelle had she would always do something funny just to lighten up the atmosphere around her. I think that is what I am going to miss the most just how funny, whacky, and crazy she is. My sister and I were very close not only in age but overall, we went through everything together. No matter how far apart we were our sisterly bond remained strong, we would talk every day sometimes even a few times a day either through phone calls, texts, or even facebook. My family and I live in Phoenix, Arizona but all our family resides back in Utah, and because my husband works for the airlines Janelle would always persuade me every time to come back home for family functions or just to visit.

 Nelle was all about family, she would love to get together with all the family and have a big feast, play games or just sit and talk stories. What nelle loved the most..besides Ron lol...was just talking and playing with her nieces and nephews. I can't talk for any of my nieces and nephews, but I know if you ask my kids who was the best aunt they would say "aunty nelle." Nelle would spoil the kids with candy and all kinds of goodies also if my kids would get into trouble and would be sent to timeout, aunty nelle was always there to protect them either by taking the blame or help bust them out LOL!!:) Like any other aunty there isn't anything this woman wouldn't do for her nieces and nephews. Because of how much love she had it was too contagious that everyone she came in contact with was affected... To my beloved sister...I never thought this would ever happen to us, losing you they way we did and as early as we did too it was such a big hit to my heart. I was at a loss for words and also feeling all I could do was ball my eyes out, you were always my other half like the twin sister I never had.
All I was left with was so much pain, tears, and questions. But through all of that I had my own personal  revelation, as I was crying into Henry's chest all I could hear were my sobs. A little while after a still small voice came to me and it sounded just like your voice and it said "Nise don't worry I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere..I will always be with you in here." As I heard the last word it felt as if your hand touched my heart and I just had this warm feeling that filled my whole heart and this calming feeling came over me. I can't express enough how much I love and how grateful I am to have you as my older sister, with all the teachings, examples, and unconditional love you had for not only me but all of our siblings. I know that this gospel is true and that families are forever, and when me and my family enter the temple to be sealed for all time and eternity I know with all my heart that I will see you again! UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN..WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH..REST IN LOVE JANELLE L. TONGAONEVAI!!
