Mrs. Kurashige is a bright light for so many of us. I am grateful that I got to be a recipient of her leadership, her care, her kindness, her guidance. I know the heavens are a shade brighter. Mrs. Kurashige left a lasting mark on all of our hearts and I join so many in honoring her....remembering her...sharing prayers to her family who kindly shared her with so many...and taking the things that she taught me along this journey of life to pay it back and pay it forward as Mrs Kurashige...
