Long ago, my grandma and grandpa took me to play with Donna and Joycie. Oh how I loved visiting the Ogura sisters. Throughout our lives we connected with the same warmth and love from our youth. Then my daughter and I joined Donna and Joycie in our Kokyo Taiko group. I have 2 of their father's paintings that are precious to me and my family. Every bit, every memory is precious with them. Donna you will always be Precious, loved and honored. Joycie, I send you and Roy our family's deep condolences and arms big with love and tenderness for your loss and healing. We love you, Sue Smith and Family
