Ameena is on my mind tonight. I was just telling my husband about her (again) and my 12-year-old son. I told them both that she was one of the best people I had ever encountered, that I'd ever known. Actually, I can think of none smarter, kinder, more full of life and love than she. I've said it before...but I always thought there would be more time to reconnect, to catch up. Lesson learned. God be with Ameena always, and to her family and friends, may they always and forever blessed by her life and memory.

I met Ameena when I worked at Baker Hostetler years ago and thought she was the kindest person. I was so sad to hear of her passing. Last night I woke up to her name on my mind. I don't know why. But I want to express my condolences to her family and let you know she still inspires me. What a beautiful soul!

I did not know Ms. Ashfaq but saw a memorial to her in the Texas Bar Journal. Her lovely smile leapt off the page and I could not help but think she did not belong there. I read her obituary which was so positive and up lifting. I will strive to be more appreciative of my own life and the gifts I have been granted. I am sorry for her suffering but feel inspired by the way she lived.

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss of a wonderful soul. I met Ameena at UT when she was a member of the Texas Union's CoSponsorship Board, which I advised. She would brighten my day every time I saw her. Brilliant, kind, considerate, charming, humorous: they only begin to scratch the surface of her numerous gifts. She gave me a hand-made card that I still cherish. I am sorry to have learned of her passing, only now. She lives in so many memories. May they bring some comfort to those of us left to grieve.

A couple of days ago my dearest Ameena Chachi passed away from kidney cancer. She inspired many people with her strength and love. I am so lucky that I had a wonderful memory about her before she departed. Last week my cousins and I went to her house we sat outside on a breezy spring night in Houston. My Rehan chacha (uncle) brought out Graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. He started a warm fire and we made delicious s'mores with my Ameena Chachi and Rehan Chacha that is a memory that I will never forget.... My aunt Ameena was diagnosed about 2 years ago and every since then she has been so strong and fought cancer! I am so lucky to have spent so much time with her! I love her so much! And inshallah she will be granted Jannah. Ameen.

Dearest Ameena, I met you as a teenager. You touched my family so deeply with your happy, beautiful, soul and spirit. My children were babies when they met you. They would always ask "when is Ameena going to babysit for us?" They loved that you would come with nail polish and arts and crafts to entertain them. It was my honor to help your Beautiful Mom with all your wedding preparations. Every moment, every detail was considered with such love. I am a better Mom to my daughter because of the relationship you had with your Mom. All I can ask for is that my Daughter looks at me with the love and respect your showed your parents and younger brother. You will always be a part of my heart. All my love Beautiful Angel.
