Chick:
I'm saddened to hear of your loss. While I never met your wife, her photograph reveals a countenance of quiet humor backstopped by intellegence; much as I remember you.
Please let me take this opportunity to thank you for your help, guidance and wisdom (again with intellegence and humor) during the time I was your student at PSU.

Dear Chik,
I was so sorry to read of Ulku's death. I remember how much she loved Kemal when he was born and how sweet and kind she was to me, Ugur, and Kemal. I can't believe it has been 46 years since we first met her but Kemal is now 46 so I guess it was. Ulku was funny, kind, sweet, generous and a beautiful lady. I'm so sorry.

Remembering Ulku brings a smile to my face probably because of the smile she had when she entered a room. She was always excited to see us and wanted to know all that was going on in our lives
