Matsu was a dear friend to me for many years. Even though we lived some distance apart, email, phone calls and text messages kept us together. So many times, when my own life circumstances were difficult, Matsu inspired me to survive the adversity and keep on going. Matsu, even though I miss you dearly, you will continue to be close in spirit.Tim, you can be very, very proud of your mother. She was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful person.

This is extremely difficult. There are not even near enough words to express how much I'm going to miss Matsu. I met her several years ago while she stayed at the nursing home where I was working.Our meeting was lead by God. We had an instant connection. I can't imagine this world without her gentle loving spirit, her beautiful smile and contagious laugh. She taught me so much about her heritage, and the meaning of life. There are very few people as near and dear to me as Matsu is.My dearest Matsu: I will always love you so very much. Thank you for all the wonderful times we had. I will never forget you.

To those who loved Matsu,I met Matsu several years ago while involved in my Christian ministry with JehovahÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Witnesses. I found her to be a lovely, cheerful and delightful person. When I first met her, she had a beautiful little potted plant garden at the base of her steps, and on her window sill in her upstairs apartment, a gorgeous, multicolored portulaca plant. When winter came, that same window sill became the feeding station for the many colorful birds that came to dine. To me, this was an expression of her love for the earth and its creatures.Her spirit was indomitable as she dealt with her health issues. She had an amazing ingenuity as she faced and conquered obstacles that would have deterred most people. I hope to meet her again in the resurrection promised in the Bible at Acts 24:15.To her mother, brothers, son, and other friends, I express my sincere sympathy.I too will miss her.With sympathy,June Jones

I was so sorry to hear of Matsu's death. I have a lovely origami Christmas decoration hanging in my living room right now that was a gift from Matsu years ago - I think of her each year when I unpack it.

We were so saddened to learn of the death of Matsu Hardman with whom we shared many lovely movements and events when we were younger. That she died at such a young age is very sad. Matsu's creativity was always present and her geneosity were hallmarks of her character. Even when there were difficult times, she retained optimism and hope and her inner strength that allowed her to rebuild her life in America was admirable. We treasure a lovely deep maroon glazed Japanese vase that she gave us. We've always thought of her when we see this vase, now we will remember her even more vividly. Her son Tim who we called Timmy was a brilliant boy who shared many of his mother's gifts of imagination and creativity. Matsu will be missed in this world.
