The loss of my beautiful sister-in-law was felt throughout our family and she will be missed so much more than words could ever say...she was a constant influence, filled with love, patience and understanding. Her relationship with my brother, her children and our family was so enduring that it will live on in our hearts forever. Much love to everyone who has shown such heartfelt sympathy - May God be with you always as will our Love for Aliya.

October 6, 2010

I thank all of you for your prayers, and kind words. Aliya was a very precious gift bestowed on us, (her family) by Almighty God. I will be forever grateful, for the 47 years of marriage with her. May Allah exalt her in paradise forever. To God we belong and to God is our return. As-Salaamu-Alaikum. Peace be on you all.
