Ebata, Teruko Jane

To the entire Ebata family: I cannot believe the shock hearing of Auntie Jane’s passing. Time has been difficult as we all age, and especially during the pandemic where we all have lost touch with friends and family we love. I’ve been out of town and am guilty of never keeping tabs on social media, so this news arrival and my response is unforgivably late. Auntie Jane was gifted with a calm and reassuring demeanor, who always had a smile whenever present during many Shogatsu and other family social gatherings. It was my impression that Auntie Jane embraced being a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to all the people she truly loved. I know losing a loved one is always a difficult and emotional event, but we must always remember the good times spent being with Auntie Jane. I know, I will. George
