“Im going to miss her so very much. We had gotten alot closer in the past few yrs. Her friendship meant alot to me. First thing I did when I arrived at church was look for Reiko in her favorite pew and go and get a hug. Her Zucchini Bread was legendary. She always made a loaf for everyone at church. Her cooking was a gift she was blessed with. Im so grateful we got to visit her and Phil this New Years Eve before she passed. Also got one of her hugs before we left. You will always hold a special place in my heart Reiko. I find comfort in knowing your with the Lord. I Love You Sweet Lady”
