Not sure if this has been posted yet but Stan's wife passed away today:

Stan via his FB:
Please keep Stan and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

RIP Mrs. Sakai, at least she died peacefully with her family. :cry:

How sad. :( RIP

Very sad indeed. R.I.P. :(

Such a shame, R.I.P.

Damn, I remember reading about his wife's condition for months and thought she had recovered. Very sad. :(

I've been following his updates on Facebook. Its wild how strong he was during such a trial. At least his wife's at rest, finally.

*usagi weeps*

I was lucky enough to get to speak to her a few years ago at the SDCC.
She was very kind. I'm sorry to hear of her passing.

R.I.P! So ver sad :( :(

R.I.P. She'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad... I was fortunate to meet Sharon a couple of times at shows, and I was fortunate to show both her and Stan around London for a day. Her smile and energy lit up any room. This is very sad day indeed :(

Oh man. I really hope he doesn't get depressed.

I hope Stan's OK, I heard his grandson also passed away a few years ago.

Never had a chance to meet her or Stan, but I consider him one of my all-time creative heroes and a huge inspiration, and I've heard many wonderful things about her and them together. He's shown a remarkable amount of strength during all this. I hope he has a lot of support coping with this loss. It's so unfair that he's had to endure so much hardship recently.

It as a few months ago...

Stan has one of the biggest hearts in the business. Sharon was his source of strength and he always kept her close to his heart. Condolences to his family fro the Drome family... many prayers

Can do. Sad news.

So sorry to hear of his loss. I was always fond of the Usagi characters, especially after their depiction in the 4Kids series.

May you find much hope, Stan.

Poor Stan. I wish him and his family well during this tremendously difficult time.
