Geraldine Blauston (Teri) Tagami.

To all those who have known and spent time with Teri. From a friend in Tokyo, Sydne Suzuki

With sadness, I am informing you of the passing of Geraldine (Teri) Tagami.   She passed away on June 19 at 5:12 a.m. at the hospital.  She had discovered a tumor in her back last December, and started undergoing chemotherapy in January.  She closed her shop completely by March.  And spent most of the remaining time at the hospital.  She will be missed dearly.   According to her wishes, the funeral will take place amongst immediate family only. 

I met Teri on the train years ago, when she lived here in West Tokyo.  We have been friends ever since.  RIP Teri💕

Oh my! This is very sad news. Such a sweetheart and always smiling. Mountain Mama for sure, even down to the flamed paint job on her Jeep! Rest in peace sweet angel. Bill Langham

So very sad. I think of her whenever I see a baton Donna Rhodes Joseph

This is so sad and shocking Bill. Teri had told me that her husband had been very ill for a long time, but the last time I heard from her on Jan. 2 she said that she was fine. Karen Basli

I absolutely cannot believe this news. Teri was so perky and vibrant and kind, loving, creative . . . there aren't enough good words to describe her. I am so sad right now. Donna DeFiore Moore

This is such sad news. I was hoping to see her soon. I was getting updates from her about selling her shop, etc., not a word about her health. 😢💕 Jane Bethell Resnik
