Dear Diane, Sharon, Lauren and Jim

We were saddened by the news of you mother's passing - the last of the Kuwahara siblings.

My dad's movies captured a happy, vibrant young woman. It appears that your mother and mine were quite close when they were young.

Our condolences
Doug and Anne

We send our deepest condolences to the Sasaki families. How sad to realize that generation of Kuwahara’s has passed away.

Their values and legacy live on in the new generations they parented and loved.

I recall the warmth and joyful nature of Aunt Grace and Uncle Mits during family visits over the years.

She was an amazing grandmother. I'm always going to cherish the time I spent with her.
I'm always going to love her.

If heaven does exist I hope she's with grandpa and living her best afterlife.

To my loving mother,

No words can express the debt I owe you for all the love and support you have given me and my family. You were always there when we needed a helping hand and you were a good friend to us all. We will miss you and all of the laughter but you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace and know that we will treasure all our memories of you.

Love Sharon, David, Christine, Daniel, Emily, and Etta
