Dear Ishii Family,
Your mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin was a Grand Dame and I enjoyed every moment I was with her. I especially loved our outing to visit her home in Olympia and our lunch together. She had a zest for life and a deep love of family. I know you will carry her memory with you as will I.

We will miss you. I will carry the triptych you gave me for healing the sick. I know you will be helping me carry out my life's work.
With love and appreciation,
Your nephew, Michael
