When we moved to Lodi in the 1960's Toshi was a cook at Houston School. She was not only a wonderful cook but she was a kind, generous and thoughtful person. I especially remember a a gift she made for our children. She will be missed by many. Sincerely, Lois Ostgaard Finch

I am a Houston School graduate and often bragged to my family about Toshi and her cooking! I have many fond memories of her and the balanced and delicious meals she provided the students at Houston School. I have missed her and her meals, especially her pizza! My condolences go out to her family and friends. She is missed.

Toshi was our neighbor who became a part of our family. When our boys were little they would often disappear in search of Oreo cookies, and they knew just where they could find some. She was Aunt Toasti to them. It is very difficult to express the loss we feel. Toshi will be forever in our hearts.
