We shall always remember Sugar's laugh and speed at getting things done cheerfully.
Also, cannot forget her motto of actions speak louder than words.

With condolences to the Sato family,
Bill and Kay

My "Toyota" Aunts are a tremendous source of pride, love and inspiration in my life. Their actions instilled in me the value and importance of being a good aunt and a strong person. Although never a word was said aloud, I looked to Auntie Sugar as a beacon for the power of women.

Thank you for the inspiration, Terri

I was a first year articling student a Resnick Wintraub & Co. on my first day when I walked through the door to report for duty. Beyond nervous, I had the good fortune to have Sugar as the first person I met. With that contagious smile and warm manner she made me at ease instantly. I got to know her better over the ensuing years at Touche Ross and have admired her ever since. What a wonderful lady who lived a full life. My thoughts and sympathies are with Sugar's family as they both grieve and celebrate a life exceptionally well-lived!
