She cherished her family and many friends. She was known for her warmth and hospitality. Few left her home with an empty stomach. Cake decorating was her passion. She made beautiful cakes for all occasions for her friends and family and never charged a dime. So many friends' and family weddings, anniversa ries, and other events were made even more special with exquisite cakes from Junko's heart.
