Written for his Uncle Francis aka Uncle Itsuo, by Makoto: 

Beyond the Stars

Travel past the shining stars
To a world that isn't ours...

A world where things don't die
A world where imaginations fly...

Here can be a happy place
Out in endless dreamy space...

I'll be there, and there I'll sit
Basking in Utopia
Enjoying the place
Beyond the Stars

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

We are very sorry to hear about Itsuo-chan.
We remember dinner with Linda and Itsuo-chan in Tokyo.
He was always gentle and a very good person.
We pray that his soul may rest in peace.

Dear Yung Mei and Sawako, I was deeply saddened to hear about Francis. Truly an inspiration to us all. Our thoughts are so with you and your family. Kristen Peek
