Dear Yoneko (Sensei), I am sorry that we will not be able to travel to Boulder for the memorial service.

To Yoneko, Nana, Naomi, Nori, Nobu and Nita - I am sorry for your loss of Seth. My thoughts go back to the many times we were in your home when all the children were still small. Seth and Yoneko were always wonderful hosts who made us feel at home. All your girls were friendly to our children. We all felt very close to your family and very much valued the friendship with all of you. Those are wonderful memories, which we cherish. You were all very important to our family. We wish all of you...
