It appears that Misao Okawa had more than birthdays each year, she enjoyed quality of life partaking of the things she loved and adored. I am convinced that Ms. Okawa's long life is evident that our loving Creator endowed us with eternity in our hearts. My condolences to the family!

I am deeply sorry for your loss, while words cannot completely erase the sorrow felt because of her loss, Gods word assures us at 1Peter 5:6,7 that he truly cares for us and wants to help, I hope this will bring a measure of comfort to your family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

To her family: WHAT a blessing you all had to have had her with you for so long. I feel that God chooses "special" ones to live that long and it's obvious she brought so much joy. May she rest in peace, bless her little soul and bless her survivors.

Dear Okawa family. What wonderful thing it is to have someone you love around you for so long. The lost must be truly painful. I pray that the you are blessed with the needed strength and comfort.
