I had always hoped Koko could enjoy the Hawaiian compound. How appropriate that would have been. I will so miss reading about this sweetheart.

We will miss Koko very much, she taught us about love and kindness for many years. My sister lived near Koko's Woodside compound, I had the pleasure of meeting her once. Rest in peace dear friend.

So sad to see this . I got to meet her once, and we played tug of war with a towel. Penny said, " Now let your guest win, " and she immediately dropped the towel. She kept signing " fake teeth," and Penny said it was because she saw all the fillings in my mouth as I was laughing. Really amazing experience. RIP , sweet Koko
