“Amy” Hinako Matsuzaki

The former things have passed away.” ( 21:3,4)

I met Amy at work many years ago. She was always kind and smiling and willing to do whatever she could to help.
I also improved my tennis game with her and Ike’s help. I will always cherish her laugh and determination at the tennis court.
Thanks for your kindness Amy. You will be missed.

First thoughts are of Amy, her life spanning two cultures and countries, and all the things she did to make people happy. Secondly, thoughts turn to her family, in their grieving that we all share, as best we can. We miss her and take some measure of solace knowing that, in addition to her loving children and grandchildren, there’s a new Grand-baby coming, and that will help us all celebrate her life.

Long ago I had the pleasure of being part of the Japan America Society when Amy was there, and got to know both her and Ike. I remember her warmth and humor. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing.

Amy was a pleasure to be around. She was always upbeat and had a kind word for everyone. She would be smiling, laughing and having fun no matter if she was on the tennis court or visiting with friends after a match. She was a good tennis player but did not take her tennis to seriously, laughing at herself on the occasion she flubbed a shot. In talking with her you would never have known she had been battling cancer for the past few years. She never mentioned the cancer or the regular chemo treatments she had to take. She put all of her energy into her tennis which she so enjoyed. I will miss seeing her at the club and on the court. She was a kind and a wonderful person and someone I am happy to have known.
