Jean was a loving dynamo. She is greatly missed. 

I first met Jean at the church across the street where she lived and had her health store.  It was after the Saturday morning prayer meeting that approached me and invited me over to her health shop.  Her warm kindness and aloha hospitality was surprising not only because of her age, but after I learned due to her vitality after her successful recovering from cancer.
I met her in July of 2014.  She served me some health drink and gave me lots of health tips and advice.   I felt like I had met a new friend in her.  
After returning to Japan, we remained in contact with each other.  Her spriteful attitude would remain in my mind as her saying, “without our health, we have nothing.”  And, “the Lord provides!”
“You have to be your own doctor!”
“Be positive!”
I miss her loving kindness and true aloha spirit.  Being Japanese-American myself, I felt like she took me in like her own son and spoke frankly to me about life.

Thank you Jean!  I’m sorry I missed you for so long and hope you are experiencing a blissful peace and rest now with our Lord Jesus Christ! in heaven.  I look forward to meeting you again on that side of heaven.  Until then I will be careful of my sugar intake and stay positive with thanksgiving.  Thanks for being like a loving aunt to me in just a short time of knowing you.  You are a testimony of God’s love and mercy shining in and through your life.  You gave so much to mr and feel so blessed to have met you.  Your loving kindness remains in my heart as your presents and presence do as well.  God bless your spirit and loving family that you shared about.  Thank you for sharing so much in a spirit of love and friendship.  You represent the true aloha spirit that makes Hawaii so dear to my heart.  Thank you for your loving welcome to me.  “As you have done unto the least of these my brothers, you have done unto me, “ said Jesus.  I’m sure your reward is with you surely in heaven untarnishable, imperishable, and eternal!!!  
Love always in Jesus!

Jean was a special woman of faith and miraculous healing who I first met in the summer of 2014 when I visited from Osaka, Japan for a two-week summer Keiki Kamp at Punahou School.  I met her at a Saturday morning prayer meeting of New Life Church across the street of her residence and business.  She was so full of energy and positive in her friendship and total outlook towards life.  She was a walking testimony of what she believed having overcome the adversities she experienced.  For a Japanese-American, she was very outspoken regarding her ideas about life and what it means to be a citizen of humanity.  She took great pride in the lives of her daughters and grandchildren.  She shared about having a positive attitude and focusing on the positives of life rather than the negatives.  I am still amazed at how young her voice is on her answering machine.  She was so into her business and helping others giving advice on what is healthy accompanied with written material to support the products she gave to customers like myself.  Not only conscientious of the physical, she was very spiritual and a faithful believer in Jesus Christ.  Right after the prayer meeting when we first met, she invited me to her office and shared about herself and gave me many things including some healthy snacks and tea.  She was so generous and loving and I feel blessed to have met her and known her.  My condolences to all who knew her, especially her family whom she deeply loved and cared about.  Thank you for supporting her and loving her as she so loved all of us.  Her loving glow will burn brightly in our hearts forever until we meet again in heaven.  I believe her demeanor and smiles continue to shine in our hearts like "nature's sunshine" which she wholeheartedly promoted and shared with the world!  

Jean was a walking miracle, having survived cancer not once, but twice.   She was kind of a local legend in health.  Despite her health challenges, she always had a pleasant disposition and a friendly smile for everyone.   What a blessing she was to Hawaii.
