As Jeje aged, she began to smile and laugh more often and became more forgiving. She loved watching her football games
on television and of course, playing her slot machines at the California Hotel. The fondest memories I have of Jeje and those which I will always 
carry with me of her occurred at our 2024 and 2025 Terauchi family reunions held in Las Vegas, which involved only my sister and brothers. Oh, what a 
wonderful time we had together because it was just us kids! What a long road we have traveled together, since the days when we were all living 
together in France! I will always cherish those reunion times with Jeje as the best. I know that you are now safe with our parents and your two beloved dogs. 
Rest in Peace, Jeje.

Jeje was our only sister, was the oldest child in our family and was the best big sister I could ever ask for. Jeje
was the nickname my parents started calling her, so all of us naturally started calling her by that name, as well. Soon, all of 
our relatives started calling her Jeje, as well, and so this nickname has stayed with her during her entire life. Growing up together, 
Jeje was independent, hard working, could be stubborn, could be short tempered and very much had her own opinion on things. 
But when our Mom needed our help, Jeje was the one who stepped up and took it upon herself to care for her until her passing. 
Jeje wasn't always the kindest person, but deep down inside, she had a very kind heart and never asked for anything in return. 
Jeje was also very smart, having worked for the internal Revenue Service for her entire working career, ending up in Management 
and earning a Bachelors, MBA and CPA degrees along the way. And when she retired, Jeje sold her beautiful home in Southern 
California and moved to the land of her childhood roots, which is Hawaii.

                       The first childhood photo I ever saw of Jeje was one of her dressed up as a cowgirl, complete with a hat, cowgirl outfit and 
a pair of six shooters strapped to her waist. Oh, she also wore glasses at the time. I have to smile even now, thinking about that photo.
As a teen growing up, she was also an avid Elvis Presley fan and I am betting that she watched the "Blue Hawaii" movie starring Elvis 
more than once. She also loved her two beautiful white haired dogs while living in Hayward, California and treated them like her own children.
