(84) passed away on March 31, 2010 in Los Angeles. She is survived by her children, Maria (Gary van der Steur), Dan, Diana, and Barbara (Poppy) Kwong; grand-daughter, Hana van der Steur; sister-in-law, Otome Nagano; nieces, Nancy and Naomi Nagano; nephew, Chris Nagano; grand-nephews, Joseph Maxwell and Aaron Aiji Nagano, and Jesse Aiji Benjamin Nagano-Wolfe.

To sum up Momo Nagano Kwong’s life in a paragraph or two is impossible. The more one contemplates the various chapters of her life and the numerous friends and strangers she has influenced and inspired, the less possible it seems to do her justice in an obituary.
