Tsuruoka NL would like to express our sincerest condolences to the Delaney family with the sudden passing of their daughter Melissa.  Melissa was a former student of Tsuruoka NL Karate until recent, and we are all saddened with her passing.  You will always be remembered for your quiet ways, and yet a smile that could light the room.  On behalf of all Tsuruoka NL members past and present, may your rest in peace!
