R.I.P. Tiffany "Little Tiffie" Takao

I will truly miss my friend who was always true to herself, nice to everybody, and she always made my friends feel welcome when they came to visit me at work.  Having not met any of them before she would always be so inviting to them and provide them with company and a loving smile that warmed everyones heart. When I speak to many of my friends in Japan the often ask me how is Tiff as she left such great impressions.  

I grew close to Tiffany as she was the one person who stuck out in a crowd of thousands not because of her beauty but because she had a kindness glowing from her that was so genuine.  The many people in my business of promoting will tell you this is so rare to find.  She never asked for anything but gained all the respects of a lifelong friend.  That is exactly why i love her and always will. 

I will miss talking to her about how she thought she could kick my butt in golf and generally hanging out with her.  Her caring smile and love for all around her is a big loss to us all.  We will always have you in our thoughts Tiffany.  I miss you so much already.
