I had the fortunate pleasure in having met both Mr. and Mrs. Yoshimura through their warm, intelligent, and fun daughter who is my friend of many years, Frances. Although Frances endures much sadness in the loss of both mother and father, I will always have warm memories of the sincere kindness they showed me. They were wonderful, caring, and humble! A couple with a lot of integrity who will surely be missed by all!

This is a great picture of Mr. Yoshimura. I am glad that he and Mrs. Yoshimura are together again. I still have their little cookie with the photo of them on their marriage day which I received at their anniversary banquet. I was honored to have been a part of that celebration. God bless the Yoshimura family through this painful time.
