Akirah had an infectious personality. When she glowed, you glowed, Comfort came in a flash of her Smile. She was nurturing in nature, open-mind O\open-heart unbias soul, spending her current years being a great activist for Women, Children, Religious Rights and Civil Rights, .

For You All: A message from Akirah

    I know you can't see me but I am still here. Just look next to you, see the empty chair? To the naked eye it seems empty but it is plenty full, for I am sitting right next to you. Feel that? That's my hand holding yours, the warmth and love it still grows. I haven't left you, I am still here. Though you may not see me, I am still near. I'll be right next to you, with you, holding your hand, anytime you need a friend. Just sit down and call my name, I'll be there to hold your hand. I love you My Sweet Dear Friend.....
