Dear Fred and Family,

Your mother was very beautiful.  I am very sorry for your loss and hope you can find comfort in each other's love and support.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Debbie,Fred, & family---my heart is filled with much warmth from knowing Lois as a neighbor on Greengage, as a friend, as a partner in our Bermuda pocketbook making business while our children were quite young. My heartfelt condolences to the family. The world is a better place because of Lois' presence.

Dear Debra (and family) - 

Please accept my condolences.   

Louise

Bill and I will miss Hiroko at the Hair Master Salon.  She was always so kind, pleasant and hard working. Our thoughts and condolences are with the family at this time.

Hiroko had such a wonderful presence and sense of humor.  She was a true friend to my late mother, Mary Gasser.  I wish to send my condolences to her family.  I share in your grief.

Debbie..having my morning read of the obits and saw your Mom's name listed...I remember sitting with her (maybe at Kathy McMann's wedding?)..She introduced herself as (I thought) Royce and I called her that all day..Found out later that her name was Lois!!!Always got a chuckle out of that..So sorry to hear about your Mom and we send our sympathy to you and your family....Kathy's Aunt Marion....

Dear Fred, Debbie and Ben.
Hiroako's tireless willingness to help others and her sense of humor is the mark she made on my heart.  I will miss her.  She is a wonderful grandma to Ben and I am so very thankful for her influence on his life.

I love this poem - I hope it offers some comfort to you;

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other
That we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
We enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me,
Let my name be ever the household word that
It always was.

Let it be spoken without effort,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.




Dear Debbie, Freddy and Ben,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I have many memories of Aunt Hiroko over the years and am grieving with you.  Sorry we are so far away.
Love,
Elaine, Jim, Megan, and Matt
