It's such a shock to realize that this gracious artist, teacher and friend is no longer in the body. I will always (I hope) remember her warmth and enthusiasm as she lived among us, 75 foreign Sufis, for a week in India -- joining the classes and dance circle, and imparting her mastery and love of music to us.

Many of us have circulated email eulogies for this beloved one. I would ask that these messages also be posted on this board if the authors are willing. As I already have Yaqin's permission, I will go ahead and post what he wrote so well to the next message.
