My thoughts are with you and your family. My parents also send their condolences and hope that you and your family are doing ok. With love at this sad time, Julia Ito (with Kyoko Ito and Yutaka Ito)
Tom and Michie were like my family. They are my family...all the Iwasakis, So much to say but right now...thank you Tom for your friendship and encouragement and generosity. Travel safely and come back soon
We are so very sorry for your loss. I smile when I think of Tom and his love of his birds... And our hearts go out to every one of you - sending lots of love and daimoku.
To Michi and the Iwasaki family I would like to express my sincerest condolences on the passing of Tom. I will always remember Tom as he had an infectious and welcoming smile whenever I saw him at the Toronto cultural center. I could never pass him buy as he would engage me in heartfelt conversations that were always encouraging and inspirational. It was definitely my good fortune to have met him in the early days of my practice. There is no doubt in my mind that he was a true Budhisattva of the Earth. May the family be comforted in knowing that Tom was well liked and loved by many of us who met him. I will continue to pray for Tom as he makes his journey to Eagle Peek. May he rest in peace. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!!!
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Tom. Our sincere condolances to Michie and the family and all who knew and loved Tom. He was a wonderful soul. We were honored to know him.
