i had the privilege and joy of knowing mr. and mrs. sakai when i worked at the trailways terminal in the 70's. they were a blessing to me because they were hardworking, diligent, quiet and unassuming. i always enjoyed learning from them. i shall always carry their memory with me. though our hearts may be broken at the moment, we may find comfort that mrs. sakai is with her saviour and reunited with mr. sakai. truly a beautiful couple. my condolences to the sakai family. god bless you.

When we first moved to South Texas and began attending First Baptist Church in 2004, we sat in the pew in front of Mrs. Sakai during the Sunday worship services. We enjoyed visiting with her each Sunday, and we always looked forward to seeing her. We were sorry to learn earlier this year of her illness and extend our sympathy to her family at this difficult time. Sincerely, The Knight Family.
