My deepest sympathies to the entire Kimura family. Minnie was obviously a wonderful woman who left her indelible mark upon our world. Her son, Kerry, is one of my former bosses. Through him, I've learned to have great respect for the legacy of the Kimura family in Alaska. Again, my most heart-felt condolences to the entire Kimura family and to all who knew and loved Minnie.

John & family, we're sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My mom loved bumping into her in their neighborhood, over the years. They would chat & talk gardening & old Anchorage. Sending love & light to you and yours....❤
