The Deatherage family is forever grateful to the wonderful friends and neighbors of our Winter Street family. In God's providence we were planted and nurtured in this precious neighborhood full of life, love, and friendship. Even though our mother left her family behind in Japan, in you we found all of the aunts, uncles, and cousins that we could ever need. We will always cherish the memories of your generous and giving spirits, and the joy our family found among you all.
