To the Sakai family.
We have fond memories of Auntie especially at New Years. Who could ever forget her maguro sushi and chicken wings. She always welcomed us with open arms and a smile, even when I first arrived in Toronto looking haggard and unshaven after driving for two straight days. We fondly celebrate her life with you.

I can also never forget when I first came to Toronto, unshaven and haggard, after driving for two days straight and she welcomed me with open arms. We fondly celebrate her life with you.
