My sincerest sympathy to the family and friends of Chiyono. At the end of each life is a legacy of love and memories. 1 John 4:8...He that does not love has not come to know God, because God is love. Always know he will give you the strength to endure in your time of sorrow. And may the long wonderful memories she left behind bring you a measure of peace and joy in the days to come.

My prayers are with the family in their of need and in the many long days ahead. I did have a dood friend that was born in Japan and she passed and when I read this story it made me think of my dear friend Clara Yosimura Her birth name was Sumiko Suski. I loved her dearly. back to Chiyono, I bet she had many stories to share with her family and friends. God bless you all.

My condolences for Chiyono,go out to the family, truly she led a very long life. Job33:25 says"Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor", soon GOD will do a miraculous event in the future, and all will be fulfilled in that prophecy to become as in our youth, We can look forward to that in the future, when his kingdom will undo all that we are suffering in our time, til then....GOD has promised...

This woman must have been like a walking, talking history book. She survived the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, was born into a feudal system form of government and saw her country become one of the most powerful economies of the world and a leader in technology. I would have liked to have known her and hear her stories.
