Bev, Virginia, and Marian,
We are so sorry for your loss. My parents have very fond memories of Taeko. Dad liked that she called him Duke. Mom was so happy to find her at Arbys and to do lunch with her on Saturdays. I will miss her spunk and appetite. The three of you were so good to her and showed great compassion. She loved you very much and was very proud of you and the rest of the family. We will miss her greatly.
