As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Japonika was like my own daughter. She went everywhere with me and her bestfriend Jessica. She was just a true light and was comfortable everywhere we took her because she was so friendly. I chauffeured them everywhere until somebody decided to start driving themselves, I believe it was Poni. She will be greatly missed. I'm in constant prayers for her family and friends.
