This photo is of four generations; Grandma Louise in the center with my oldest sister, Pat Nekoba on the right and Pat's daughter, Dalene , on the left with Dalene's daughter, Leihala, who just made a year old on grandma's lap.

Several years after my mother, Magdalene (Hirata) Nakamura passed away, my father married Louise (Nishimura-Nagata) and they were able to spend many years together before my father passed away in the early 1990s. She is still very active with our church and this is a recipe from a cookbook the women of Good Samaritan, Epiphany and St. Mark's put together as an exchange with their companion church in Okinawa. - Aloha, Audrey
