Sora Jo Yamada came into this world suddenly on September 8, 2009 and departed unexpectedly of undetermined cause on February 3, 2011. Sora was a beautiful and loving daughter of Pope and Darcie Dotson Yamada and sister to Kirin Dotson Yamada of Iowa City, Iowa. She brought joy to all those around her with her smile, laughter, and love of music; she will be truly missed.

She is preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Margarete and Ervil Dotson of Milford, IA, Patrick and Helen Pope of Sioux City, IA, Ervin and Verda Rierson of Estherville, IA, and Shigeru and Sakae Yamada of Nagoya, Japan.
