Obituary For Natsuko Stephanie Sugawara

Natsuko S. Sugawara was granted her angel wings on July 12, 2011. Her life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her gentle smile and loving spirit brought so much joy to our family. We will always remember her as a brilliant, brave self sufficient young woman with great integrity and loyalty to family and friends. She gave us all hope and fortitude and reminded us of the preciousness of life. Natsuko is survived by her loving parents, Shawn Sugawara, of Raleigh, and Hiroshi Doug Sugawara of Huslett, MI; a brother; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Phoui Phongsavath and Mrs. Sugawara; aunts, uncles, cousins, her beloved pet dog, Rebel, and friends. May she rest in peace. A visitation will be held at the funeral home on Wednesday, July 20, from 7pm to 9pm. The funeral service, also at the funeral home, will be held, Saturday, July 23, from 10am to 12pm. Condolences: rfhr.com

    Natsuko--you were my best friend in 4th grade. I love you with all my broken heart. I can't believe you are gone. Such a very very special person. I still remember conversations we had and games we played. Till we meet again, my sweet friend. -- Lindsey Reichley (lindsey@reichley.co)

    Extending my prayers to you in this time of tragedy. Heaven has another angel and yes it may have been too soon for all of us to wrap our minds around. But know she will always be watching over. I wish there was more I could do to help ease the pain. God Bless!

    The first time I met you it was all joy. And every time after that it was an honor to be in your presence. Some things can't be explained in life, and I often ask why. Today, I'm not asking that, because I know that I will see you again soon one day and that you are watching over us. To Natsuko's family, I'm deeply sorry for such unexpected tragedy. May God be with you, and remember we are all here for you. To Suki's friends, remember to stick together if you need anything or just don't want to be alone. I will be lighting candles everyday when I pray. If anyone would like to join, just let me know, I light candles and pray every evening and morning at 8. God Bless, you will never be forgotten Suki.
