Uncle Bob and Family,
Mom called and told me of Aunt Yoshi's passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. I often think of when she babysat for Roberta and I, and remember her telling me "no going to Mrs. Day's for peanutbutter and Jelly today!" And smiling as she gave me an extra piece of her peanutbutter frosted cake knowing it was my favorite! Uncle Bob, Tina, Nancy, and David you are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.
Love Jenni

To my brother Bob and kids,

Words can not express our sorrow or help to ease the pain. We can take comfort though in realizing that Yoshi is now in a better place and not having to suffer or bear any pain. Yoshi was a wonderful woman with a big heart and will not only be missed by the whole family but by all that had the opportunity to know her.

Love,
Richard and Kim

To my Uncle Bob,Tina,Nancy and David
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Aunt Yoshi. She was a light that shown on earth which now shines brightly in heaven. Our hearts and prayers are with you all in this time of need.

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know

To my second childhood family, we should feel at peace knowing Mom is with the Lord in heaven. I say Mom because she felt that way to me, she always made me feel right at home there on Clymena street. Not only did she make the best cut out cookies, I remember her roasting up the best turkey I've ever tasted. Fond memories of Yoshi, Mom, Mrs. Campbell will be with me forever. Love Dan Taylor

To the entire Campbell family: Yoshi will not only be missed by you, but by all who knew her. She was a wonderful woman and the kind of mother everyone deserves to have - not to mention she made the best darn cut-out cookies! I have thought of her often and spoke of her kindly - many times - when Cyndy (Smith) Higgins and I have gotten together. She will get a direct pass to the place above and know she'll be at peace. With Love, Jan (Jazwiecki) Smith
