Keiko was my college roommate and friend at Bemidji State University. She had a great sense of humor, was a great cook and was the most supportive of friends! We reconnected over the past two years. I am grateful to have known her and cherish the memories we had together.

I had the pleasure of working with Keiko for over 15 years with the Psychology Department at Rowan University. I was sorry to learn of her passing, but I know she is no longer in any pain. I kept in touch with Keiko, even after she left Rowan, meeting up for lunches. Anna Frisone

I remember Keiko as a dedicated chair of Psychology Department as we often met for the Dean's meetings as Department chairs.
