We have received warm requests from many wishing if they can=20 be of any help. We are presently coordinating efforts with Itojun=E2=80=99= s=20 family to see how we may be of assistance during this difficult time. On=20 behalf of the Internet community we will be arranging for flowers to be=20 sent, but as many of Itojun=E2=80=99s close colleagues may be overseas, we= =20 understand it may be difficult to attend or arrange for flowers from=20 abroad. As an alternative suggestion we would like to accept warm=20 messages to the family and/or memorable events with Itojun that you may=20 want to share. We will deliver these messages to Itojun at the memorial=20 and funeral service. Please send these messages to=20 message_for_itojun@wide.ad.jp. =2D- World Security Pros.
