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.
Happy birthday wish you were here. Been thinking of you since I woke up. The kids are great you'd be proud Of them How I wish you were still here. I hope you're watching over them. I know you are. Words can't describe how much your missed by them. I've been doing my best to take care of them....pretty soon they'll be taking care of me, I hope hahaha? Anyways Happy birthday. Love Vince.
I think about Sayuri often, still do, especially when I drive/walk by her old house. I remember so many fun times with the kids at that house. Sayuri always made things more fun and special. She loved Dane and Dani with all her heart and soul. I always admired her and how good she was to my kids as well. She is so missed. Sending love to the family and everyone who was lucky enough to know her. xo
Sayuri, you are missed by everyone who crossed your path. Your infectious smiles, laughter that brightens the entire room, forever positive spirit and your true care for each and every one of your friends will always be remembered...and...are missed ! Hope to see you, again, one day !
Happy Birthday Sayuri! Had lunch with your mom on Saturday in Little Tokyo. We went to pay our respects to those that were in the internment camps during WWll at the Japanese museum there. It was very moving. Hana joined us as well. It was so fun catching up and talking about the old days. Remembering the camping trips, Disneyland, celebrating birthdays and holidays together. Such great memories! Those were the days! Miss you! Say hi to my mom and bro okay?
Thinking of your wonderful laugh, how incredibly thoughtful you always were and your amazing creative talents. Thinking about and I will never forget sharing my first NY Cheesecake with you, merchandising Rampage at Macys Herald Square and going to Halloween parties in the village and opening Rampage stores that would have never happened without you.
Hello again Si! Wow, already that time again...these past several years have been moving all too quick. 12 years in a flash...and still we all miss you, your laughter mostly. It's as clear as the last time we were together. Keep watching over us, love you, miss you!
I think of you almost every day on my way to the office when I pass the Glen wood drive exit off the 73. We spent many of weekends at Aliso Viejo Ice Palace watching the boys play hockey. I miss those times and you! xo
thinking of you.... as usual. crazy strange day today. 11 years can't believe it. Not always easy.. you'd be proud of the kids they're finding their paths. Both really good people. say hi to Kenji. love always Vincent
Hello again Si! Had a good weekend, actually talk some about you. Saw some old friends and talked about going to our 90,000th reunion...Boy, that will be a sight! Geriatric central for sure. The last good reunion I went to is with you and Kenny...that was fun. We were all relatively young still, so we all look at our best as far as youth wise. If we decide to go, I know you will be there too...try not to laugh too hard...or dry. It will be a sad and happy occasion...miss you Si!
Wow, Sai, I can't believe it's been 11 yrs ! You are also ONE person I so very much wanted to have been a part of my new family life, despite the distance. You are truly missed, in so many ways !!
Merry Christmas Eve! I left you a song. It came on this morning while I was cooking…reminded me of us riding in uncle Greg’s low rider car… why did he have moth cakes in the car? I always wondered… I miss you!
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Si. Miss you, my friend. Miss your laugh, your support and love for everyone in your life. I have a few photo's I wanted to share today that I couldn't locate--but it gave me time to think of a dear friend I lost so long ago. I will find those photo's! Love you, friend. ♥️
Today is your birthday!!! One of the benefits of living in heaven...no aging. Meanwhile we are turning into, not our parents, but grandparents. Haha. Happy birthday Si! Make it thunder today. Love and miss you!!!!!!!
Happy birthday Sayuri, it been too long, wish you were here. Just wanted you to know that we think about you all the time and life has not been easy without you, I've tried my hardest to fill your shoes, but that impossible. The kids are doing very well, I'm sure you know. I am very proud of them, they have been through a lot.....but they are very strong adults now. I'm sure you see that. I know they miss you and feel your absence. we never forget about you, and think about you everyday, especially today. miss you, wish you were here....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I can't believe it's been 10 years since you've left this earth it still feels like a scary dream. But my time also feels distorted and sometimes its like you have been gone an eternity, nothing but a distant memory. As time pushes forward I see myself growing up but still feeling like the scared kid I was when this all began. I hate that I still feel this way and I wish I could hear from you one more time just to feel reassured that I will be ok and not to worry. I could have never imagined it would be this difficult to live life without you. A lot of times I sit and listen to music that reminds me of you just to see if I can feel your presence. I have felt you come into my life as you have been gone, strange moments as if you were talking through someone else. Trying to tell me that you're proud of me and yet I still feel so lost in this life...I just hope one day I can be just as strong as you were for me and Dani all those years. Even though you are gone from us physically you will always be remembered and never gone from our thoughts. I love and miss you terribly Your pumpkin
Hi Si, as Kenny said, 10 years went in a flash. That equates to about a second I suppose from your point of view. We get older, you stay young and beautiful. No matter how much time passes, I can still hear your voice and laughter as if it were today...miss you, LOVE you!!!
I regret rushing off the phone because of f-Ing work. I didn’t know it would be the last time I spoke with you...so I prefer to remember the conversation we had the day before where we agreed that sisters had to stick together. It’s been 10 years now and you are still terribly missed. Love you.
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 Mom! Geez your getting old lol, but probably never look younger! You have a fiery spirit! I miss that about you! I’ll see you again soon! Love you! P.S. listen to Craig don’t forget social distancing!
Birthday wishes to you!!! Celebrate well Si, but remember to practice social distancing! Haha...enjoy your day! Love you, miss you...I can hear your laughter now. Be good...
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.
