Our mother was born in Japan as Masako Yamazaki, the oldest of 5: Brother's Sao, Kazuo, Mitsuo and Sister Makiko. She had a wonderful life with her husband Jerry and son Leslie and daughter Melody. She was so kind, thoughtful, selfless, brave, strong, and nurturing. We will miss her very much. We will think of her every day of our lives. We Love you so much Mom. Thank you for being in our lives and helping us to grow into the people we are today. We are truly blessed.

When I was 5 I started kindergarten and had to ride a school bus to a air force base to attend school. My mom would walk me to the schoolbus every day, it was over 1 mile away, I know that does not sound far, but it was a dirt road, so it got muddy in the winter and in addition my mom carried my younger sister Melody on her back since she was only about 1 year old. She never complained, she just did what was best for us, another great example of our mom's inner strength and physical strength.

    I honestly forgot about this. Anyway, this definitely shows how amazing mom was. Her strength was truly outstanding. Her care for her family was priceless.
