"Dear Mrs. Ascoli Pauline, Thomas, Zoe and Zachary There are occasions in life when words become too small and emotions overwhelm everything else. Those are the moments when no gestures and no words of condolences seem adequate. The loss of Mr. Larry Ascoli is one of those situations. Although after all I had never had the privilege of meeting Mr. Ascoli, through Pauline and Zoe I had got to know a great deal about him and how honorable his life was. I was deeply saddened by your loss and my heart goes out to you all in your time of sorrow. When I pray and chant the Shingon mantras today, I shall pray for his soul to be in eternal peace. Yours sincerely, Naoki "

"Dear Uncle Larry, my godfather! When we lose someone we love, We learn to trust somehow That a new life in a brighter place Is just beginning now.. A place of grace and peace and joy Beyond all time and sorrow, Where loving hearts who part today Will meet again tomorrow. The times together were too few, And now I look back at the days In NDG and the times at Ascoli gatherings in Frelighsburg, and regret that we did not have more of these. To my godfather...you will be missed."
