With a sad and
very heavy heart I want
to let everyone know
about the passing of
Sharon Sakai, wife of
Usagi Yojimbo creator
Stan Sakai!
For those who didn't
know, Sharon has had a long battle with an
inoperable brain tumor
and the past year has
been incredibly hard for
Sharon, Stan and his
entire family.
During this time Stan kept all his convention commitments (like Sharon would have wanted him too) and was always keeping us up to date on what was going on. When we chatted in Boston he was his usual amazing and charming self, but his soul was back home with his high school sweetheart.
I hope that everyone will keep the Sakai family in their prayers. This year the family also suffered a tragic loss when Stan lost an infant grandson.
What I want everyone to do, if you haven't already gone out at gotten it, pick up a copy of THE SAKAI PROJECT to help financially support the family and all the medical bills that piled up this past year. And for Stan, pick up a USAGI YOJIMBO trade or two! I guarantee that you will not only love it, but those good feelings will help a friend through his grieving process.
