Dear Family of Mrs Tate,
We affectionately called her “Ms. Toshiko”. My name is Michiko Noble Beckett and Ms. Toshiko was a very dear and special friend to my mother Saiko Richmond who passed in December 2019. I remember on many occasions when all of her Japanese friends would gather for monthly parties, eating Japanese food, and watching Japanese movies. Ms. Tate was a faithful friend to my mother and all her friends. She visit my mother often when mom’s health started to fail and whenever she was hospitalized. I still have the knit blankets and throws she made for us. They will become even more cherished. May God’s love and the memory you have comfort you during this time. Let’s live our lives walking in Jesus light obeying God’s word, so we too can have a room in His mansion with our love ones.
