Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Early Friday morning, October 24th, 2009, one of our beloved second-generation youth in Michigan, Mr. Fumitoshi Yonemura, was hit by a car when crossing the street near his university. He later passed away. Fumitoshi was just 18 years old. He was able to skip a year of school entering Ferris State University at the sophomore level. Ferris State University is located north of Grand Rapids Michigan.

Fumitoshi was a most Abel son who was active in second-generation activities and focused on God’s providence. His course of study at Ferris State is biotechnology due to his desire to help others by creating prosthetic and artificial nerve cells through genetic engineering. He is very smart and talented, and also loves drawing and running.

The Seung Hwa Ceremony is scheduled for Sunday evening, October 25th at 6:00 PM at the O’Brian Sullivan Funeral Home located at 41555 Grand River Ave. in Novi MI. Visiting hours will be from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The Won Jeun burial ceremony will be Monday morning at 10:00 AM.

Condolences and donations would be greatly appreciated and can be sent to the Fumitoshi Yonemura Fund at 9586 Cardwell St., Livonia MI 48150.

Sincerely,
