<div>Dear friends and family,



</div>

<div><br />

</div>



<div>It is with a heavy heart that we share the sudden passing of Akihiro Ano- who passed away on December 22nd while surfing. He was taken from his wife and two children far too soon, and we are still coming to terms with this unimaginable loss. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><span>The timing of this is especially difficult during this holiday season as we were looking forward to spending time together and sharing joy. Instead, we are now struggling with grief. We are reaching out for any support to help cover funeral, memorial expenses, moving cost, as well as any unforeseen costs that may arise.</span><br />
</div>

</div>



<div>Aki was a loving parent, a kind man, and a devoted husband. His presence in our lives brought joy, love, and warmth, and we will cherish the memories forever. We are devastated by this loss, and any help, whether big or small, would be deeply appreciated as we navigate this difficult time.



</div>

<div><br />

</div>



<div>We know that these expenses can add up quickly, so we are turning to our community for support. Your generosity will help us honor Aki in a meaningful way and give the family some peace of mind as we focus on healing and remembering the good times.



</div>

<div><br />

</div>



<div>If you're unable to donate, your thoughts, and prayers, and shares are also deeply appreciated.



</div>

<div><br />

</div>



<div>Thank you for your love and support during this incredibly challenging time. While we are devastated by this loss, we hold on to the hope that God, our one true source of strength, is with us in these dark times, comforting us as we grieve.



</div>

<div><br />

</div>



<div>With gratitude,



</div>



<div>The Ano Family
