I have been reading all the amazingly heartfelt messages about my wife Janine (Dahulagirl) and want to share how incredibly special MW was in her life. She loved cats. Loved them like they were her children. At the time, we had four cats. Sadly, two of them passed away within six weeks of each other, sinking her in a dark and depressed mood like I have never seen in her. My heart broke for her to see her so sad and felt frustrated that I couldn't lift her sprits. A few months later, however, we decided to spend a week at DL for my birthday. She LOVED to plan events and my birthday was one of those events. She searched the App Store for DL-related apps and came across one called MouseWait. Before I knew it, she would be signing on several times a day and having a great time. She would share the shenanigans going on and keep trying to get me to join. Before we knew it, she excitedly attending the first MW birthday. Her mood was so elevated. MW literally pulled her out of a very dark place. This app had added so many amazing friends in this life. We have cherished our friends as if we had grown up with them. She started RAKS for the simple reason of paying back a debt of gratitude for MW making her so happy again and wanting to put some happiness back into others. That was her spirit in a nutshell. So my debt of gratitude to MouseWait and Admin and family and all the deep life-long friendships that have come from this amazing app is far greater than all the love you have heaped on her and it will take several lifetimes to repay that debt. We love all of you and will continue to.
E818, after watcher your beautiful brides video, it was evident that you were the source of so much of her joy. I am glad to see a strong and real man stand by his wife through sickness and health. I pray that I too can be the husband you have been. My deepest sympathy and prayers for you, as you begin the process of celebrating her life. - Villescas8

Lovely sir💕 - PinkElephants 652.7 #166 9:50PM
I remember Shangz hunting me down during that first bday meetup and asking me "are you Polkadbo because my sistah wants to meet you!" At first it felt like I was being presented to a queen with her in the wc 😂 but we were instantly all hugs. You three have touched our little family's lives and shared so many special memories. You guys are amazing and I do mean it when I say Janine was the most beautiful woman I've ever known, inside and out. Full of generosity, SASS, humor and pure awesomeness! We love you guys. I love MW for giving me the opportunity to meet and fall in love with her amazing personality and spirit. - Polkadobo

I once met a trio who I call DahulamentalShangz.
Their Ohana is full of aloha, friendship, and such a generous gang.
With Janine at the helm, what a beautiful, wonderful soul.
She spread warmth and kindness daily, in a lifetime's goal.
I will remember her fondly and keep her in my heart.
With each amazing memory, it's like we'll never be apart.
RIP, Dahulagirl. ❤❤

The only thing I know to do when someone is hurting is pray so I hope you don't' mind. Father God, thank you for the blessing you gave this girl's family and friends just for knowing her. Please place Your love around Dahula's family and friends, and keep them warm and full of peace and love from all the wonderful memories they have of her and by knowing she is feeling better now. I ask You to please love them and protect them and fill them with Your love and Joy for all things Dahulagirl gave us all. In Jesus's name, Amen. I am so sorry for all of your loss. And thankful she started the RAK's and gave so much joy to the MW family. God bless you all. - secretagentangel

I recently read this and tonight it reminded me of your beautiful wife. My prayers are with you.
If I should go tomorrow, it would never be goodbye, For I have left my heart with you, so don't you ever cry. The love that's deep within me, shall reach you from the stars, you'll feel it from the heavens, and it will heal the scars. If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin into his nest again, I shall not live in vain. - Author Unknown

It saddens me to hear of Dahulagirl's passing. I never got to meet her but seeing her smile in photos was contagious! I'd like to thank her for her many random acts of kindness and for reminding me to pass on that kindness to others! 🌺❤ I'm sorry for your loss. - MonteKristal

I havent been on MouseWait for a week or 2 was busy with 2 back to back events. Something told me to check in today. I was one of the lucky ones who won a Dahulagirl RAK. A lovely pin. Now I will treasure that pin and note forever. My heart goes out to her family and friends. A special lady with a big heart and a smile that lit up a room. Thats the Dahulagirl I will remember forever. 🌺✨🌺✨🌺 - Dizkid

I am so sad to hear about Dahula. Although I was never able to meet her, being from Maui, I felt a "Disney/Hawaii" connection (and she was so nice to me when when we corresponded about the MW door prizes a couple of years ago). You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers...her beautiful smile will live on in MW for eternity! - msdizmaui

I will be forever grateful for that! - MarshaMouse

Thank you and Dahulagirl for the laughs and kindness shown here in the lounge. Although I had the opportunity of meeting you and Shangz at the WD Studios meet up, I didn't have the opportunity of meeting Dahulagirl. I only saw her from afar at the reunion, but the fact that she started the RAKs speakes immense volumes about her character. She truly does define the phrase, "aloha" .. and heaven has gained another angel! Blessings to you, Shangz & those touched by Dahulagirl. - Jacqueline

My deepest condolence for your loss. I did not have the privilege of meeting your beautiful wife, but just seeing the amount of love for her by MWers and the kind words is a testament to what a wonderful person she was, an the impact she had on our MW community. Something that impacted me is her face that radiated pure kindness and joy. My she rest in peace and never be forgotten. God bless you and your loved ones. - Miss-E-Mouse

Thank you for sharing at this most difficult time. You probably don't remember but I introduced myself to you at the 2011 birthday party as Josh's aunt. Later I introduced myself to Dahulagirl. She was so welcoming. She asked if I had met you, which I had and later when Shangz passed by she asked if I met her brother? She was the perfect hostess. I am hopelessly sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your beautiful love story. - PrincessDuckie
