Kathy S. In Tokyo has her wing's
This is an email I got on another group of mine. I have copied and pasted it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform all Kathy's supporters that we've just heard that she passed away this
evening. We are not sure of the exact details yet but it was around 6 pm Tokyo time. We
will update further when we know. Patricia is speaking to Kathy's parents.
To all of Kathy's family, please accept our heartfelt condolences. Kathy touched so many
people, probably more than she ever realized. Few people had her gift of connecting with
so many.
Let's take comfort in the thought that Kathy had a happy few weeks with her father and older brother,
and they were able to enjoy each other's company. And after her father left, Kathy's sister-in-law came to help care for her.
It seems this was Kathy's wish, as she liked and got on well with Kazuko. So in the end, things were as Kathy wanted them to be.
She spent her last weeks with her family, and Kathy's family meant the world to her. She is free from the pain now
and at peace.
Please keep her children in your thoughts and prayers, as it must be incredibly hard for them right now.
Kathy, Godspeed. We love you.
