Missing my Friend today. I know you are back preparing for 2030.            Love Ya! Karen

Momoko will live in our hearts forever. We shared an eternal bond.  Her sincere efforts for the advancement of America kosen-rufu will never be forgotten and will live on forever. She was truly a champion of the people!

Sincerely,
The Bailey Family

Dear Momoko.  Thank you for all your encouragement and positive support.  You made a huge impact on my life over thirty years.  You were always so generous and happy.  I especially treasure those early years when we had to work in unity to create the first district downtown.  I was also able to meet your wonderful husband during that time. I will always fondly remember all you did for me and the members.  And we will always be grateful to you and embrace you with our prayers for eternity. Much love to you and your husband, who helped so much behind the scenes. Thank you for setting such a great example. 

Momoko - I didn't realize that the last time thst I would see you, was when we ran into each other at Northwestern Hospital last fall. You were a very gracious and consider Lady, a awesome comrade in faith. I will miss you. 

To Momoko & her extended family. Since I first embraced Nichiren Buddhism, you Momoko were a constant and inspiring example of dignity, kindness and love. This memory of your life has caused tears of joy that opened my heart wider once again. Thank you so much for creating this community of words. The whole wide world needs more of this example every day. With immense determination, gratitude and appreciation, I am sending abundant prayers to you, your family and the eternal happiness of all. Sincerely, Mike Krystyn

Momoko-san took good care of our sons when they were born. 40years later Mike is ER doctor in Austin TX with three children, Erick is Lawyer in Irvine CA we appreciate you very much for all your love, help and support. We will remember you as always and love you forever! Thank you very much.

Gentle, graceful, loving.....
Always encouraging youth and inspiring us with your beautiful example of steadfast faith!!!!

Condolences to the family. She will be truly missed,
but forever remembered in our hearts.

Beautiful MOMOKO was a powerful Ambassador for the Soka Gakkai, Value Creation Society in every area of her life and with every person which she interacted. Unwavering in her commitment, she was one of Soka Gakkai's most invaluable and loving Women's Division Leaders. She was remarkably generous with her time, resources, wit and wisdom. Momoko genuinely enjoyed helping others create a better life through her vision of Nichiren Buddhism. Thank you Momoko for the the time we spent together, you will be sorely missed by me and so many others. I hope you are as near to Nichiren Daishonin as you wish to be. With blessings and gratitude for having known you. Godspeed Momoko

Dear Momoko San,
I have never met you in person but have heard so much about you from our very dear friend Fuji San. I offer my deepest gratitude to you for everything you did for so many people and brought joy and hope to their lives. I’ll forever pray for your eternal happiness! We’ll meet at the eagle peak! Thank you so much!

I wish I would have met you because of all the wonderful things I'm hearing about your life and how you shared it so generously with others. I'm happy for your life. Rest up because I know we'll see each other again. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo

Momoko was one of the most giving and generous people I have ever known. I practiced with her for many years when I lived close to her in Chicago. When my mother died in 2003, Momoko hosted a beautiful memorial for her in her home. I will miss her.

ももこさん　本当にありがとうございました。
私は貴方から大きな大きな菩薩の心と愛を頂きました。
FNCCのBookstoreで個人的にお会いしてから何年になるのでしょうか。。。
ご一緒させて頂いた日々は私の黄金の思い出です。
主人共々本当に感謝申し上げます。合掌

Thank you for always being amazing, a shining light for all! You touched so many hearts with your life condition and your ability to make the 'impossible possible'. You will be missed...

私は姉のように慕っていました。私と妻をとっても可愛がってくれました。
日本から友人が来ると、ボートにも乗せてくれました。シカゴとフロリダに自宅があって、冬はフロリダで過ごしていました。
たいした店でもない私のレストランに、大勢の人を連れてきてくれたり……。
いつも気にかけていただきました。
シカゴの自宅へ押しかけてたり、いつも歓待してくれました。そんな彼女、逝ってしまいました。突然です。あんなに元気だったのに……。今でも信じられません。
今年の２月、みんなで私のレストランに来てくれて、私の料理を美味しいと喜んで食べてくれました。それが最後の別れになるとは……。

Momoko was always so happy and cheerful whenever I saw her. She participated at the 2018 International Woman’s Associates China Gala, she was such a generous person with an open and friendly warm heart ❤️

On behalf of the entire Chicago Symphony Orchestra family and from me personally, I send condolences for the passing of dear Momoko-san. What a special lady she was; always so cheerful and enthusiastic, warm, caring, friendly and generous. Keiko and I will forever be grateful for getting to know her after our move to Chicago. She was a dear, dear friend. We have such wonderful memories with her, and thank her for making our lives brighter. Whether in Chicago or on a CSO tour in Europe or Asia, being with Momoko-san was always such a joy. May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family of Momoko. It was my joy to have met her through IWA. She was a lovely, funny, and charming lady and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to have known her.

It is with sadness that I send this condolence to the family of Momoko.
My family shared many beautiful moments with Momoko and she was always so kind and generous to all of us. She will be deeply missed but I know she is singing and smiling with joy as she looks upon all of us. Thank you so much for your friendship.

Dear Momoko, your life brought light into many people's lives with your joy and happiness that you spread around the world. You touched many lives around the world leaving a positive and warm memory of you. You are so kind and loving to my dad, my siblings and me. You will greatly be missed as there is a big hole in my heart from your passing. In loving memory Russell
