Dear Deguchi Family,

You are certainly in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We have so many wonderful memories of "Auntie" and her remarkable talents, energy and contagious happiness.

Recently I used Auntie's example in a lecture to illustrate the ability some possess to produce "something out of nothing". Given very few ingredients she could produce a wonderful meal or beautiful craft item in no time. She will be missed by all during this temporary separation.

We hope you will find comfort in the time spent together remembering all her beautiful qualities.

Best regards,

Rich and Cara Romanowskyj

Dear Martha,

I’m so sorry to hear about your husband, Takeo. I just found out that he passed. I had wondered what happened to you and he, as I had fond memories of all the alterations and cleaning that you did for me.

I’ve been very out of the loop, mostly recovering from exhaustion, from helping my parents. My father, whom you both knew, John Okumura, had passed away at the end of 2006 and then my mother followed in 2007.

Wishing you the best,

Mary Okumura
