An afternoon at the El Paso Zoo with my Dad and Mom. One of my favorite memories with these two teenagers.

Grandpa at the park in Santa Clara. 🌳 He loved visiting us in California and would walk around town and make friends with the people at the near by McDonald’s. ❤️

Grandpa volunteered to help make the rice paste for the mochis 🍡

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dad. He was a blessing to our family, and his absence is felt in ways that are hard to put into words. We will miss his presence, his quiet strength, and the love he gave so faithfully.

As we grieve, we hold fast to the hope we have in Christ. We believe he is at rest in the Lord’s care, and that we will see him and Michael again. “ "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". 
- Psalm 34:18.” 

May God give our family peace in the days ahead and keep his memory alive in our hearts.

With love and faith,

Mary Imai and Family

Gramps, thank you for everything I learned from you as a man, losing my dad at such a young age and you stepping in to guide me the best you could, thank you for my camping experiences and memories those days were my best and I'll always think and remember you. Love Mikey ❤️

You were always the most handsome man in the room.

Father, you  are truly a profound example of what Japanese culture refers to as "Ko wa oya no senaka o mite sodatsu", which means "A child grows up looking at their parent’s back." 
You invited deep respect from others not through loud demands or force, but through your quiet, gentle, and  steady life of integrity, grace, and truth. 

Your wisdom is recorded in my memory, your humor I playback  in my laughter, your integrity I honor in my footsteps. One day soon, we  will walk beside one another, Otōsan.
With all the love I can harbor into one lifetime,
Your daughter,
Isela

My handsome dad.  I love and miss you.  There is an emptiness in my heart which will never be filled until I see you again.  Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to care for you during the last chapter of your life.   No more messing with "headquarters".  Rest now... Goodnight, I love You!!  Your loving daughter, Belinda

Grandpa,

God bless your soul and be with you and our family during this time.

Mr. Imai was a big part of the Gomez family and we are extremely thankful for so many beautiful memories… my favorite was his walks in the backyard.  He enjoyed them very much because every day was a Saturday.  May he rest in eternal peace. Our deepest condolences to the entire Imai & Portugal families.   Eva

Dear Grandpa 💟 

 You were blessed with a long life here on earth. I am so happy you got to meet your first great grand daughter Rose Fatima last year.  She is a beautiful Imai inside and out. And definitely carries the inner and outer strength of an Imai. I pray and hope you are at peace now enjoying your eternal reward with the God our Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ and all of the angels and saints in heaven and with the Blessed Mother, Queen of heaven. We love you Grandpa! And you are greatly missed already ❤️ Forever in our hearts Tish and Rose Fatima Imai🌹

Dad thank you for everything. You were always there for me and I will forever be thankful. We will meet up again, until then your family stands tall and proud because that is the example you gave us. GOD Bless you and keep you in his Grace. Ramon Imai, Jr.

Our sincere condolences to  all the Imai family! Tia Meline, I send you a hug! Tio Mon was such a beautiful soul, nothing seemed to bother him! I remember those tasty candy apples of his mmm so yummy! 
There are no shortcuts through grief, only a path, along which our Lord himself has  walked , and will walk with us with his gentle strength Amen!! 💐💐💐
R.I.P. TIO, may Perpetual light always Shine upon you ✨️ 🙏🏻
