Mitsue realized her dream of passing the cosmetology licensing exam and opening her own salon – The Elegant Lady – in San Pablo, CA.
They were most passionate about their trips overseas and helping to raise their grandchildren.
Spending time with their family and seeing everyone thrive gave them the most joy.
Mitsue and Leslie will be missed by many, especially by their children – Mitsuko, Sadahiro, and Masaharu, granchildren Kenn, Alexander, Junn, and Lawrence, and great-grandchild Avery.
They will be fondly remembered by their extended family in Hong Kong, New Jersey, New York, Washington, and California.
