We will love and miss you forever. I love this photo of you because I fondly remember that I picked this dress out for you for James and Zein's wedding. We went shopping together, you held a magazine in your hand with a dress you'd been dreaming about on the cover. I found this dress, just like the one in your mind's eye, and immediately brought it to you. I was certain it would be the dress you'd pick. It looked stunning on you from first wear, and at the wedding, it was as if the magazine cover came to life.

Dear Namir and James,
So sad to hear about Hind's passing. I will remember her empathy, passion and sensitivity to others. She was always ready to help. May God bless her and give you strength.

Auntie Hind was a source of endless love and support, and her presence was a constant source of comfort and joy. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Your memory will live on in our hearts and in the lives of all those you touched.

- Hind was the second of five siblings. Aziz then Hind then Ban then myself Suhail and the youngest Raya. She was very clever and got into medical school.
- There are few funny stories about her. Of course I was always HInd’s little brother.
- She always wanted to be independent. Growing up in Iraq used to be a challenge for Young women. They were meant to visit public places with a male relative. Very often she used me as her male companion even though I was six years younger.
- One day she was determined to go to the cinema.I wasn’t feeling well but still she insisted to take me with her. However I slept through the film.
- One day Hind drove us in her beetle Volkswagen to get bread. My mother was next to her and I was at the back. While she went to get the bread another identical car with the same color parked in front of us. Hind came back and sat in the driver’s seat and was surprised to see a stranger sitting in the passenger seat. I remember she told the person to get out.
- At one stage the fashion was to wear men’s shoes. So without asking me she wore my shoes and went out. I was trying to find my shoes to go out, but of course I couldn’t find them.
- Hind came to London to study. Two years later I came myself to do my postgraduate studies. We shared to start with the same accommodation in my Aunts apartment. She was adamant that I must not go out with girls and insisted that I must concentrate on studying. She was very protective of me.
- Of course regularly she used to go shopping visiting Harrods and shops in Oxford street etc. typical of Hind she did love shopping.
