This is Jordy again. Gail had another episode this morning. Both her eyes have been dialated for several hours and there is no longer any brain activity. She is no longer on any medication, but still on her ventilator. We are waiting for Gail's neices, nephew, brother-in-law and sister-in-law to get here to say goodbye. Please pray that she won't go into organ failure until they arrive later tonight. While she is physically still with us, she has already gone to be with the Lord, Gary and Craig.
I know Jon will blog later, but I just wanted to let you all know that we have constantly felt the love and support for the family over the last 5 days.
The Lord is our strength, our Rock.
Jordy

Jordy,
I know how hard it must be to even write the post about where Gail is now. We are all grieving. I've felt this pain before of total loss and sadness, but somehow God comes in and meets us in this horrible feeling of loss and anger. I'm asking God for His presence in such a way that we would somehow be encouraged. I love you all and I wish I were there with you guys.

I am deeply saddened by all of this. She has been a wonderful friend and sister in Christ. The depth of my love for Gail and memories of her will never leave me. I am grateful the Lord has placed the Yoshimines in my life. Love to you all! Dev' you're the best. Love you broheimer ;-)

May God hold us all in his arms at this time. I am so glad I had a chance to say goodbye to this wondrous, loving,intelligent, vibrant,enthusiastic, and spiritual friend.I am also grateful to have met some of the family, especially Gail's Mom.And to Kimberly and Greg, Lisa and Allie, and all the other families who have been a constant source of strength. I am devastated, and I love you all for your strength, faith, courage, and sense of family and God. There is no rational explanation for this tragedy. Just know that all of you are cherished by this community, and we love you, and will support you. With great sadness and great love, Mary Lou
My heart is breaking. At the same time I cry in a different way to know that Gail is at home with Jesus, beyond pain, having lived a life so fully for Him - and that I was one of MANY so indescribably blessed to know her, one of God's giants of faith. I love you and put my arms around you all, and wish I could do so in person. I can't even imagine what you're going through - my only solace being that Jesus does, and will comfort in ways only He can. Love, Lynn
We're so sad to hear the latest update and are grieving the lost of our sister Gail. What a gift she was and how blessed we were to have shared some of our journey with her. Our prayers are with you guys during this difficult time. Love, Nick/Catherine & Hana Hirota Sandomirsky

I'm so saddened by this and share the pain you must feel in your heart... Much love to you and your family

THE STORMS IN LIFE.
When the storms in life hit close to home,
And the waters become troubled.
And any escape on my own power,
Meets a resistance that seems doubled.
I know I can find shelter,
Beneath the shadow of His wings.
And the extra strength I need in Jesus Christ,
Through whom I can bear all things.
For you have shown me how to live my Lord,
How to endure lifes toughest miles.
How to stand firm in Your holy presence.
Amidst lifes fiery tests and trials.
And You have shown by Your blessings,
That You are faithful to come through.
If I just lean upon Your word my Lord,
Which I know is just and true.
That tells me I’ll find comfort,
In Your good and pleasing will.
Until the storms in my life subside,
And the waters once again lay still.
Jon, Devon, Jordy, and family,
Our hearts are so heavy with these developments and we are very saddened by what's happened. Our Faithful Father is true to His promises and He will walk with you each baby step of the way. We are praying for you all.

Dear Jordan,
We are so sad to hear about Gail's condition today. We are praying for your family to be at peace and to get through this painful time. Please give Jon and Devon a hug for us.
We send our love,
Rod, Karen and Ryan
Jon and Dev:
You're in my prayers, guys
I imagine Gail and her sweet smile standing before our Lord and having Him say.."Well done my good and faithful servant...you can rest now".
Thank you Jesus for Your comfort and love through times like these!!

Jordy, thanks so much for updating us on Gail's current status. Please pass on to Jon, Devon, your folks and all others there with you, that there are many of us uplifting prayers for all of you.
"May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant." Psalm 119:76

This is the darkest night for we lost our hero Gail, when the winds of hope are dying down, she will be there with the Everlasting Father, the keeper of your tears, In His hands, she will never fall, with He's the One who holds it all..we are continue to pray for you Jon,Devon and all Toguchis & Yoshimines..so much to cry..we love you ..
Jon & Devon, We have walked & prayed that the veil would be lifted in God's grace to be so close to you as you requested. Our Lord's sweetness has been revealed through your honest, heartfelt petitions to us in the Body of Christ--we are family! Devon -You are such an incredible man of God, I was touched by your quote of Zachariah -your Mom is so proud of you. Also I too get angry with God, frustrated and as I tell him , the Holy Spirit works quietly as I express myself and then I realize as your cry out to Him , I become soft and humble before Him and realize that I have a heart change and desire what God wants. Devon you are his child, beloved, blamless and His special gem. do remember that Gail, your mother and all of us were in God's mind before the creation of the world and He knew we would all be here with you, your Dad and your Mom and we would walk this path together. Our Lord is the Blessed Contoller of all things and all for His glory. Your family and your mother is a testament of His grace. C. S. Lewis says, "God shouts to us in our pains and whispers to us in our Joys." Though we have many questions now - when we get to Heaven our response will be " But of course!" We will walk together quietly and know He is a powerful God and be thankful for who your Mother is and always will be!
Dear Jon, Devon, and family members,
We are filled with deep sorrow at the loss of Gail who so many counted as a wonderful and dear friend. God did heard your prayers, but He did not necessarily answer in the manner we all had hoped for. We love you as you go through the difficult days ahead.
