Dear Maestro Miyamura,
I extend my sincere condolences for your loss. With the passing of my father and the recent death of my stepson, I share feelings of sorrow with you. After all these years, I still perform in orchestras. Mahalo for helping me become a better musician at the University of Hawaii.
