This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Sayuri Takeda who was born on April 18, 1965 and passed away on March 8, 2011. We will remember her forever.
It’s nice to be reminded about our friend who left us too soon.
Love and warm wishes to the family of Say.

You are truly unforgettable with a smile that lit up any room and will forever be missed by all of us who knew you ! Can't believe it's almost been 10 yrs. Happy New Year !
Hi Sayuri, it's been a tough year for all of us. We had some kind of virus that affected many of us. But we will get passed it. Because we are stronger than some bullshit virus. Can't explain how much I've thought of you today. I talked to Kenny...we both have been thinking about you. We want you back...and in some miracle, we will have you back here...with us, making everything warm and good. We dont care! Just come back to us! Not just in spirit and moment, but here and present. In another body, another person, we will recognize the spirit, and we will know it's you...just come back to us...we miss you being around...make friends with us and we will take it from there...just come back
Happy Birthday my dear friend!
Think of you and miss you every day.
It’s just not the same without you here.
Love you!

Miss you Sayuri and wish we could meet up for a birthday cocktail. Miss your laugh, your smile, your generosity, our conversations and the list goes on. You are so missed.
Hi Si, another year without you here. I’m sure that you continue to watch over us, awaiting for our journey to meet again. I’m sure you are enjoying your time with family and friends beside our lord. Miss you forever!

Hi Si! Another year, wow! I continue to think about you and pray for you always. Strange, it never gets easier does it...miss you, love you!!!!!
There hasn't been a month that goes by that you don't suddenly pop up inside my mind, at the most unexpected moment ! You're definitely missed !!!
It's so hard to believe that it has been 8 years. You are so missed. I miss getting your random calls on your way home from work. I miss hearing your voice. I think about you so often. You were such a big part of my life for so long. Where does the time go.....
Dear Say,
As I sit here eating lunch over my keyboard in true fashion-retail-worker-bee-mode, to see its your birthday, brings a smile to my face. Life is too short and so sweet. I am sure you are looking down on us and I'm sure cake in heaven is so much better.
Miss you.

Hello...happy birthday Si!!!! Are you celebrating like I know you would be? I’m sure there’s a lot better things to do for your birthday up there than here. So have a great day touring the Milky Way and watch out for Uranus! It will get you every time! Haha. Enjoy, have fun! I can hear your laugh from here. XOXO, Craig
Hey mom, I miss you and I’m at a lost of word of what to say. At the last minute I just want you to know I love you, more than life and I’m trying to hang onto the memories we all have together but as each year goes by it gets harder and harder. I know your spirit lives inside me and I thank you for everything you’ve taught me in the little time we had together. I love you mom.
Paradise is the place for you,

I sit here in my room 7 years later on this fateful day writing my very first message to you...All I can say is that not a second goes by in the day that I don't reminisce about our time together. The time we shared will never leave my mind in this lifetime or any other after it. It's always tough for us this time of year even including dad even though the times weren't always good he still loves you to this day but I'm sure you know that already. I wish you could've been here to see how much we've grown up its been real crazy hahaha. God Dani looks exactly like you she's beautiful and smart in every way just like you were. As for me I've grown a lot as a person since your passing and I've come to the facts that not everything in life is fair but its how you live through those hard moments is what really shows your true character. Although my life had some real dark moments throughout these 7 years I've begun to see a real change in myself better than anything before and I know its because of you. It will never be the same without you but I know that Dani and I will get through it together we promise you that. For anyone that sees this message on here I would just like to say on behalf of myself, my sister, my aunt Shelly and my dad and anyone else who has ever cared for my mother like we have I just want to say I thank you so much for your support and condolences over these past 7 years it truly means the world to all of us. It really has shown me how much of an impact my mom had on peoples lives and how much she was loved by everyone. Judy Smith and the rest of the Smith family I will always have a special place in my heart for all of you thank you thank you so much for always posting on here my mom truly loved your family with all of her heart and I know appreciates every single post you've made. I also thank Craig Seki for always being here too my mom always told stories about good times with you and will always appreciate your thoughts for her. Lastly, I thank my aunt Shelly for everything she's ever done for anyone especially for mom I know its been hard believe me I've been living it but I just want you to know that mom will always be looking after you from above she's always been there through thick and thin she will forever be our guardian angel. I know this has been long but I would like to end on this note to my mom Sayuri, I will always live my life through you and I will strive to be the best person I can be to this world and anyone else I meet you were the perfect example of the best mom someone could ask for and I will always admire the sacrifices you made for me and Dani to keep us happy. I can't say this enough but mom, I want you to know that I'm gonna be alright through the hardships I've gone through and all the dark moments I knew there was a light at the end of this and Ive finally found it thanks to you. I love you more than words can ever describe and I hope that one day I'll be able to give you that hug I've been missing all these years
I love you mom

7 years ago a beautiful friend left this earth to protect and watch over her family and friends. A couple of months ago Eric and I has a wonderful surprise visit from Dani. Seeing and hugging her was like seeing and hugging you. You are missed every day sweet Angel and your friendship has never left my heart!

WOW!!! Sayuri, did you see what your son has written about you? You can truly see how much he has matured into a fine young man...So you know you don't need to worry about him or Dani...but you already knew that didn't you. How all these years have suddenly passed, so quickly...but there are a lot of people here that continue to have you in their thoughts and prayers. You will always be really special to all of us and will be missed until the day we meet again...and we will meet again! Love, hugs and kisses until then...
Happy New Year.......someone left a gift for you on my front porch the other day. Thank you, whoever it was.
Hi Si...hugs, kisses and thoughts...very grateful for this sight. Reminds me to always remember you! Time flies and we get caught up in everyday life, so those who have left us behind sometimes are forgotten for a period of time until something reminds us of them. Never the less, it saddens me today, just as the day you left us. Miss you!
Dear friend Si, to her children, family and to her friends.
As hard as it is to believe it's been 6 years. To feel both the sadness of our Si who left us too soon. It also gives me the opportunity to reflect on her beautiful smile, her laugh and outgoing tough gal personality. How I wish her and Vicky would call me for a surprise lunch as they often did when in NY.
I miss you Si.
My love to all, we share in the grief of loosing a wonderful person.

Remembering Si today.
It's been 6 years but in some ways seems like a lifetime ago. I can remember exactly where I was when we last spoke on the phone...we made plans to get together for dinner and we both flaked. How did that happen?
I can hear your voice and your loud laugh and remember how you always laughed until you had tears in your eyes. You adored your kids and we shared working-mom struggle stories.
I miss and love you tons. Xoxox Dee
