Dear Khan Sisters,
Over the past 20 years I was very fortunate to have little conversations with your mother when she would call the office. She was always so warm and easy to talk to. The times when I was able to visit with her in person I always felt that gentle motherly way she had. Your mother was both beautiful inside and outside. God bless and may she rest in peace. Love, Rachel

My thoughts and prayers are with the Khan family...I have known Olga since I was a small child...she was a beautiful woman and a very much loved woman...I shall always remember her wedding to Salim so many years ago, in the Sacramento Mosque and the subsequent years when her children were being born...I have known the family for years, my family grew up with her family, but have not been close due to different lifestyles but Olga is not someone that you can forget...I grew up with her sister Delia (and I say that even though Delia lived in Arizona and I in Yuba City, I later moved to Sacramento...May Allah watch over this family as I know He does already.
