Bruce, Mrs. Shimizu's oldest son is one of my best friends. In high school, Mrs. Shimizu and her daughter Joyce, would prepare a traditional Japanese meal for us in celebration of the end of each semester. Her graciousness to a bunch of rowdy boys was appreciated then and well remembered now. That graciousness was how she treated everybody.
My condolences to the family and to all who knew her.

I had the pleasure of working with Mary at Buffum's in the early 80's. She was such a pleasure to work with! Mary was kind enough to share her Chinese Chicken Salad recipe with me which my family still enjoys all these years later. Praying for peace and comfort for her family.
