I miss Emme so much. Hard to believe she is gone over a year already. She was like a sister to me and we shared many friends in the entertainment family.

My dearest Emmelina! I have no words. I am still in disbelief ! We didn´t do all that we planned on doing together!! I am missing your sweet smile and laughter! Linda is having a hard time as well. I try to talk to her as much as I can.
Thanks for being my first friend when I went to Central Intermediate School. And for being my best friend forever!! I love you. Rest in love, my Bestie. You are with the love of your life, Jim, a hui hou! Eternally, Aiko
