Re: [SUMO] extremely sad news (Take a moment of silence!)

Sumoans:

I would like us all to bow or heads and pray for this courageous man and his
family he has unfortunately left behind so early!  We will miss this rikishi
and hope he is happier now for eternity!

Lets us all take a moment of silence!

God bless you all!
