SUMIKO and Max were frequent visitors to our house in EK when I was growing up. I looked forward to them dropping by. They were funny, engaging people. - Posted by: bill turchinetz (friend) on: Sep 12, 2019

Aunt Frances, my mother’s youngest sister, when I first drove from Wash. DC I had the pleasure of meeting my mother side relatives who relocated from Vancouver. Aunt Frances and Uncle Max were always kind to me. I miss their kindness toward me always. I know Uncle Max is happy to see her with him. My deepest condolences toward my cousins.
