Dear Sato Family: (My Family)
I love you all so much. Dad was such a presence in my life. I am feeling so blessed that I was able to sit and visit with him not too long ago. Mom, I am thinking of you and praying for all of you. You are both two very important people in my growing up years. Your home was welcoming and joyful. We loved to visit with you and hang out. You two always make me happy and you both are loved by so many. Your work ethic and kindness were tops. Your laughter and acceptance made our teenage years brighter.
Mom, Joey, Mike and Jill, I love you!
