In the Arms of the Beloved

Stephanie passed away at 6:43 EST on Dec 5th 2005.

"Verily, unto God do we belong and verily, unto Him we shall return."
(Al-Qur'an, Surah 2 - Al Baqarah, Ayah 156). Amin.

For our beloved Steph:

At last you have departed and gone to the Unseen.
What marvelous route did you take from this world?

The flowers flee from Autumn, but not you -
You are the fearless rose
that grows amidst the freezing wind.

Now the words are over
and the pain they bring is gone.
Now you have gone to rest
in the arms of the Beloved.

("Rumi - In the Arms of the Beloved")

It was certainly a privilege to know you.

My prayers and love,
Zai
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
