Marc Koyanagi

Susan, Hudson & Graydon, let me express my deepest sympathies to you all. I learned of Marc's passing when Dominic Chan visited me in Singapore and I am in shock. It has been a while since we met up, but I still have vivid memories of the times we spent together in Hong Kong, New York and London. You always have time for me and will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.

I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of the family. For right now, there's no detour around grief, no shortcut through mourning. However, 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, "... power beyond what is normal ", to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry, or that we forget. It means we recover. We recover because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28 which says, "...all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out ". Jesus was referring to the resurrection. That is our amazing hope! The Bible likens our hope to an anchor. Just like an anchor stabilizes a ship, our hope stabilizes us and keeps us from drowning in overwhelming sadness. 2 Cor.1:3 describes our Creator as, "... the God of all comfort ". One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort be your comfort now, during this time of sorrow.

I just heard about Marc's passing --I didn't know him well, but our daughter and Hudson have been at school together for many years and I always remember Marc as lovely, warm and personable. All my love to you Susan and know that your kids are loved and supported by their friends and the ASL community. Lisa, Les, Jordan and Ashley Koski

Hearing of Marc's passing yesterday came as a chock. Marc was so full of energy, wit and good humor. He was a wondeful colleague and mentor. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I just heard the sad news from Jennifer Kemp. He was a few years ahead of me at Aldershot and then U of T; always stopped to say hello. So sorry to hear of his death.

My heart goes out to all the family and friend of Marc. Such a nice young man. Love to Kimiko my thoughts are with you. Sandra Upfield AGB.

Susan, Graydon and Hudson, We are so very sorry for your loss. Others will have said it better, but to us, Marc was simply a one-of-a kind, special human being. We are still in shock and really really sad over his sudden passing. Please do take care. Sylvie, Sophie, Shirley and Stephen Ching

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Marc's family. I just learned of his passing away and am truly saddened. Marc was one of my closest friends throughout high school and we kept in touch periodically for over 30 years since. I will always remember him as one of the finest people I have ever known.
