  11. Maki and family, this is so ironic seeing the passing of your mother because my husband and I were talking about her a couple days ago as I thought she was the person in a picture with my brother-in-law, Chip Willis who passed a couple weeks ago! I attended South High with your mother who was always so beautiful and sweet, with a voice you never forget and I never made the connection until I read her obituary. May God strengthen you and your family and give you unimaginable peace during this very emotional time. Praying for your family.

Leave Your Condolence
