Noriko Kimura

Noriko was such a kind person, we used to walk sometimes at Shoaf park together and she was wonderful help with marching band at Leo. I will always cherish her sweet spirit. So sorry for Ryo and the rest of her family. Sorry to have missed her funeral. She was really special.

Noriko was a friend to all and she will be missed. She was a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court...but always with a smile. Even more than her athleticism, I admired her dedication to her family. She was simply golden. I wish the family peace.

My condolences to the family of Noriko Kimura When I became a student of JSS this year she was the director and she was so very helpful and later when I finally got to meet her she was always smiling and always very open and nice. I had the pleasure of having a couple of conversations with her and she told me funny stories. She was always a delight to speak with. She was a substitute for one of my classes and she was a very patient and a caring person. Kimura will be missed.

I was saddened to hear of Norikos passing. I am one of the nurses at FWMOH and gave Noriko her first Chemo treatment. What a lovely wife and mother. She always had a smile no matter how rough her week had been and I admired the courage she showed and her sweet spirit. Thinking now of her family and praying that you can hold the good memories in your heart and find peace in the days and weeks ahead. Rest In Peace Noriko.

Words could never describe how deeply Noriko. will be missed. Forever she will remain in the hearts she has touched.

I will miss your smiling face. Loved playing tennis with you and loved to have you as my partner. Rest In Peace and my prayers with your family

Noriko, You were always a source of joy whenever we played tennis, met at book club, or had lunch together. I was blessed having you in my life and will miss your beautiful smile. Condolences to your sons, husband, and family. Susan

So sorry to hear of Noriko's passing. I will miss her smile and talking to her at the mailbox. Ryo and Kento please let me know if you need anything. Our whole family is thinking of you.

It has been an honor to have shared with you our many life stories from past to present. My horizons have been broadened by knowing you. I will miss your cheery smile, your easy laugh, your perseverance to learn English and the hope you were going to take us (book club)all away to tour Japan one day. I experienced the most beautiful sunset on June 10 and will always think of you when I view that photo. Rest In Peace dear Noriko.

Ryo-my sympathies on the loss of your mother. She always had a smile and a pleasant demeanor as we encountered each other while you were at Leo. May your memories be of comfort in the upcoming days. I understand how hard it can be as I lost my father right after graduating college.

Ryo and Kento,
I am so, so sorry. I can only imagine what you must be going through. I will pray for your whole family. I only met your mother a few times, but she was such a gentle soul with great love for her boys. I will never forget her amazing smile. We will be out of town Friday though Monday and won't be able to attend the service, but please know I am praying for you and I will be thinking of you!

I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

You will be missed by all of us. We loved playing with you.

Ryo -I am so sorry for your loss. Marco and I are out of town and will not be able to come to the funeral home calling. We send our deepest sympathy.

To the family of Noriko. What a sad day for us all. No words can express this human tragedy. She will forever be in everyone's hearts. Alice Sowder

Noriko, I don't think I ever saw you without that big smile of yours. I loved being on the court with you. I have no words to tell you how missed you will be. I hope you are at peace now.
With love, Claire

Noriko, I loved playing with or against you in tennis. You were such a fighter, always smiling. You will me missed!
