Not sure what to say?

Teiko was a beautiful, intelligent and
very caring Pan Am co-worker. She taught
me how to use chopsticks at a Pan Am
business luncheon served at a Chinese
Restaurant. I will never forget her as a very classy and special lady.
Deepest sympathy to her family.

Teiko was the first person I met when I applied for my job at Pan Am. I was so impressed by her grace and beauty and I will remember her fondly.

Teiko added elegance and grace to the Pan Am Sales office during my time there in the 70's. It was a pleasure working with her.
My deepest condolences to her family.
I can relate as we lost my father (95) this year too.
Warm regards,

From my early remembrance in 1967 at the Pan Am Sales Office in San Francisco, she was a graceful and gracious person, always carefully dressed and preserved. May the angels up there take good care of her. To her family my warmest condolences.

Teiko was a woman of style and grace with a smile that would light up a room! My favorite Pan Am names were Teiko Kitagawa, Sachi Toyofuko, and Aiko Hironaka...Japanese Haiku. May she rest in peace.

I remember Teiko so well even though I hadn't seen her for at least 35 years. She was always sweet, smiling and so diligent. Mostly I remember those wonderful high heels she always wore! Such a classy lady.
I wish for you to have peace and joy in remembering her.

Teiko was a very special friend and "sister" during my 21 years with Pan Am and has continued on through many more. She definitely is one of our dear Pan Am Angels.
