HONOLULU – A Hawaii woman whose husband died at their son's high school football game in August is grieving again after thieves ransacked their home and stole the couple's wedding rings.
KHON-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1xpDH5X) that John Mahelona (mah-heh-LOH'-nah) suffered a heart attack as he watched his son, a defensive lineman, play in Kapolei (KAH'-poh-lay) High's game against another school.
The family lives in Kapolei, a suburb of Honolulu on Oahu's west side.
Mahelona's youngest son returned from school Wednesday to find their home in shambles.
Mahelona's wife, Moani Nahulu-Mahelona, says thieves took a small safe containing money collected from John Mahelona's funeral. The safe also held jewelry, including the couple's wedding bands.
The family has lived at the home for more than 30 years.
Nahulu-Mahelona says she hopes the wedding bands can be recovered.
Honolulu police are investigating.
