Christine Tina Uch October 14, 2013, 6:57 PM | To the Yasuhara family: Eternal rest grant unto dear Yuzo-san who is now with his beloved Yasuko. He is now singing the song hes been practicing for her, "Time After Time." I have known him my entire life and will miss his laugh, his jokes, his passion for sports and politics, his "audios of old television shows, his prayer, his goodness and kindness. In the last few years, he reminded me about something we learned in religion class as youngsters but had since forgotten....to bow our heads when saying the name of "Jesus. Thank you to Yuzo. I will never forget that again and continue my prayer sessions with him. |
