  My mom was such a beautiful lady. She lived a life that I'm in complete awe of. She was fearless and was always seeking adventure. Whether it was leaving Japan to come to a country where she didn't know anyone or riding roller coasters and snowboarding. It seemed sometimes she loved doing those things more than myself and my brother Geoff. She was also such a kind and loving person. Helping people in need and helping out in the community whenever she had a chance. Her smile was so friendly and innocent that it could make anyone feel warm inside. I'm so thankful for having such a wonderful and loving mother. She molded Geoff and I into the men we are today and so often I notice her characteristics and values have shaped the people we are. It's a true testament of how great she was by the way my brother and I turned out. We owe so much of our success to her steering us in the right direction and believing in us along the way. I find myself tearing up when I think of the many big moments in our lives that I know she wanted to be present for, but I remind myself that she will be there in spirit looking upon us and warming up the room with her smile. Thank you mom for everything you gave us. I promise to live a life that would make you so very proud Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. I love you so much. Rest in peace my sweet soul.

  For the last few months my mom has been battling cancer. When they caught it was stage 4. She stayed positive throughout the whole ordeal. Despite being told she pretty much had a 2 to 3 month life span. That's thing with her she never quit when the whole world was telling her. When she lived in Japan she wanted to move to America but her parents told her no so she went on a hunger strike until she was allowed to. She always had my back even before I did and I will forever be thankful for that. Honestly she was one of the most caring people I knew, she worked with mentally handicapped people and it takes a special person to do that. Anyways I've probably written too much, and if theres anything you can do for me, please go out and tell whoever matters to you that you love them and genuinely appreciate every moment with them. I love you mom R.I.P. It only takes a few seconds to say hello, but forever to say goodbye.
