My wife and I never had the chance to meet Akiko in person, but through our correspondence it was like Akiko was a friend we have known for years. Even through e-mail we could tell Akiko was one of a kind a very kind and generous individual. I am so sorry we will never meet, but you never know, as none of us know the secret that lies ahead. Rest in peace our friend
Sharing our last correspondence Nov. 2021
"Aloha Mr. Hickman,
Thank you for providing your flight itinerary!
I thought you would be flying out from/ in to Toronto, but at the same time, it is nice that they are non-stop flights.
I, too, will absolutely be looking forward to finally meeting you and Mrs. Hickman in person!"
