I'm sosorry to hear Sachi-san 's death. I met her in MJCCC when I was in Winnipeg from 1989 to 1991 to
study English. She always cared for me. She sent me Christmas greetings every year since 1991.when I left for Japan. I really miss her.

Norman, Naomi and Hiroshi, my love and empathy go out to you, as you know. Such a beautiful hommage to her.
I didn't know Sachi well, but just from being in her presence, it was obvious she was a very special, strong and loving woman. And I'm sure she never stopped "claiming you". I don't anticipate that will ever change :) Bon courage. xoxo

We both appreciated Sachi's friendly smile and encouraging nature. She will be sadly missed at Tai Chi, and we will think of her with fondness as we do the set.

My family was lucky to have moved to the street where the Guilberts lived when my brother and I were little. It didn’t take long for our families to become friends and my Mom would soon start her habit of wondering aloud where “Mrs. Guilbert” was going whenever she saw her drive past from our kitchen window.
I am forever grateful to have grown up with her in my life. I remember Mrs G packing 6 or 7 of us kids into the back of her Toyota hatchback to get us to elementary school after the latest Winnipeg blizzard. I remember many walks down our back lane and dropping in to hang out with her to watch tv in the basement. She generously gave me her time and patience, teaching me how to knit and fold origami. I remember that she never looked at the clock to say that it was getting late. She was an amazing cook and the most gracious host. I can’t count how many delicious Christmas dinners and Boxing Day crepe brunches I have been a part of. My obsession with really nice kitchen things and tableware definitely comes from her. I learned from her that if you do something, you should do it well.
I think back to the last sushi lunch we had together and regret not having more of those moments.
Mr. Guilbert, Naomi and Kimi, we are thinking of you. My Mom and Dad and Erick send their condolences. The video was beautiful and the obituary was a perfect way to honor her. I think she would have liked it.

Our sincere condolences to the Guilbert family and to all that loved Mrs Guilbert . I remember as a young boy Mrs. Guilbert and her mom, Mrs Mizobuchi. having their hair done in my mom’s downstairs salon. They were not customers but family to my mom. My mom still talks about how much Mrs Guilbert helped her through all the sorrow, paper work and legalities when our father had passed away, My mom was young , didn’t speak great English had 5 kids to raise. One can only imagine how comforting it was for her to know that her “sister”, Mrs. G had our backs. My mom’s English still isn’t great , (sorry mom) but her and the Conway’s memory of Mrs Guilbert is. R.I.P. Obasan Guilbert

Dearest Sachi,
Such a gentle and kind soul. Your eyes spoke of wisdom beyond your physical years, your heart spoke of compassion and caring about others no matter what. We are honoured to have met you through Naomi, Hiroshi and Kimi and will cherish the moments that we were able to spend with you.
May you all be surrounded by healing light during this difficult time.
Love always, The Rossing Family (Giovanna, Karl, Matteo, and Juliana)
