My dearest Satchi,

I think of you every time I look into a camera. You were my sister that I never fully knew, but loved nonetheless. We shared images, ideas, music, feelings, and you never judged me.

I guess we shared life really. I wish I was around more, I would have even more fond memories from which to share.

You were late often, and when you were on time, I was late often. So we started late, and worked later to compensate. It was all very new york wasn't it?

As I write about my past, my present and my hopes for the future in my journal, I thought of you and I imagine what my life could have been if you were still around. I'd probably be working with you on this upcoming fashion project, you had the eye for this, you knew on from off, most don't, they just guess.

That would have relieved me to know someone else could carry some weight, but alas another old friend has appeared to carry this torch I speak of.

You inspired me to be the best I could, yet not take myself to seriously, and I believe when my time comes, I will see you again, and we can pick up where we left off.

With love,
C. Christiane

Gina! I can't believe I will not hear your voice again at the end of the line, I cannot believe there won't be another time. You lit up my life, and carried me to far away places when I was so down.

I will miss you forever. I love you with all my heart!

But you definately lived!!!!!!!!

Can't say a thing about that. So many people fall into boring regimens of lives and hate it. To me that is death and I know you agree with me.

I am heartbroken beyond words. I hope to see you again real soon my dear. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, always and forver my fellow boddhisattva of the universe.

Gina you will forever be missed as a sister, daughter, companion, friend or just a wonderful and kind person you were if anyone crossed paths with you. You were the humblest and most sincere person that anyone can talk too. But our memories together will not be forgotten or even the few times we talk on the phone. I feel that I could have came around more but I will not think about that it's more about the good time even if it wasn't long like your other friends spent with u. I love you Gina and the family so if anyone wants to call me you can. My number is 201-660-5656. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family and everyone trying to deal with such a loss.
