It is with a sad heart that I relay this message to all of you who knew Rabia.
She passed away from Cancer on September 8th, 2007
I am personally crushed, as she was my dearest and closest friend and we were as sisters. I will miss her terribly much!
She unselfishly gave of herself and her talents to the world around her, and whomever was fortunate enough to notice this, and know her we were blessed. Yet she was a very private woman. Such Dignity!, Such Grace! She lived in a world that was filled with strife. She survived alot of obsticles in her life.
She fought Cancer and won years ago. Then Cancer came back and ravaged her. And finally took her. Maasalama Dear Sister Rabia. (I probably didn't spell that right, she would understand) "Inshala",(God Willing) we will meet again. Please tell other's that might want to know this sad news.
We are not closing Caravan's End. I will endeavor to keep it open in her honour; and try to do things as she would. I will need help though. So please if someone of the Islamic faith can help me with those aspects, please contact me in personal messaging here, and let me know.
I am going to post in our group "InMemorium" a notice about her passing.
And I invite people to go there and light a candle for her..in rememberance of her.
She was one of the most intelligent people , with such great wit, and humour, that I ever knew.
I have lost a sister! I can't believe she is gone! Such a beautiful woman, with such a sweet soul.
