Dear Family and Friends,

Yesterday, November 12, 2023, we held the Celebration Of Life Ceremony for Kelly in Hawaii.

It was as beautiful as Kelly's Seattle Celebration Of Life Ceremony held on October 29, 2023.

Thank you to Everyone for all your condolences, sympathies, and support during this difficult time.

Thank you for the condolences and pictures posted on this website, which have been comforting.

Sincerely,

Howard Ishizuka, Kelly's Dad

I am going to miss the joy that Kelly brought with her, the laughs, and the many smiles. We unfortunately won’t be able to attend, but are sending prayers and positive thoughts to all who knew her.
