I know you don´t remember me but I was at the Unitarian Universal church, I´m late because I didn´t have a phone back then. You taught me during Sunday school and it was so much fun. You were gone too soon. My condolences go out to the Yamamoto family and her friends. Rest in Peace, Megumi. (Katherine 2024).

Dear Andrea and family, I was so sorry to read this news about Megumi. I remember your beautiful girls growing up in Owatonna and babysitting for us, the kids favorites, as they made tents out of bedsheets! Now sending healing and loving thoughts, Deb Schreiner Brecht

Megumi you taught me how to write my poetry. You showed me how to put my feelings on paper. We talked about the girls just two weeks ago and how you wanted to meet Autumn and that Ariana was getting so big since last time you met her. We shared the same birthday and made jokes about our age gap. I will miss you tremendously, I know my birthdays from here on out will be extra special. I'll have you watching over me. Rest peacefully my Angel.

My deepest condolences to Lenny, Zoe, Asher and all of Megumi's family and friends. I met Megumi at the UU Church in Meriden, in the late 1990's.
Megumi touched people in a way that left a lasting impression. She was always kind and one of the nicest people I've ever met.
She lived a life worth celebrating though far too short.
Again my deepest condolences.

I am sorry to hear about Megumi's passing. I attended graduate school at SCSU in 1996-1998 , and Megumi was in one of my grad school classes for teacher certification. I then moved out of state to Philadelphia, PA, but saw her again 8 or so years at a mutual graduate school friend's wedding in CT. Megumi was a super cool, awesome person, and she was mad smart English teacher and writer. She spread positive vibes. I miss her.
