     这个是今天收到的卜告。 昨天台湾同学先后两次发过来这个震惊的消息， 非常悲哀！上周日， 也就是1月6日是关先生的生日， 本来打算去参加的，但是由于先后两次收到的信息差异终于错过去了。 后来听说关先生是坐着轮椅，头戴帽子出现的。 很遗憾没有亲见她最后一面。 

     去年参加关先生生日晚会的时候，使用新相机拍了一个集体照片，并且使用心型的花筐装饰起来，关先生很喜欢，后来请台湾朋友发送给关先生，听说这张照片是关先生最喜欢的。

     2003年首次在留学生欢迎party上见到关先生，次年听说因为胰腺癌住院，05年在札幌市民举办的留学生欢送party上见到了依然健康的她， 06年生日party上气色也还不错。 想不到年仅60岁的关先生就这样简简单单离开了。 关先生英语非常流利而且清晰， 为人热情， 及其热衷留学生的工作，给留学生提供了大量的帮助。 我们都很怀念她！希望我的这片简短祭文能够安慰先生在天之灵， 安息！

     One of seki sensei's main visions was for all the people no matter of their race or religion to work together harmoniously and without prejudice, a version which she helped to realize throught parties, home stay programs, international night, cultrue exchange programes and so forth. The fundament of HUISA as an organization came from her and her version.
