Dear All,We have lost my dearest mother, Necla Kepsüt Özışıklıoğlu, physically on 18th October, 2011. She had been my idol since my childhood. Her patience, her wonderful life philosophy and skills, her kind and helpful heart towards all the beings and her great sensitivity! It was such a huge sensitivity and empathy that never putting herself to the list of priority. Always collaborating and guiding as far as she could!
She had graduated from the "Sewing" Department of "Vocational High School of Balıkesir" in 1949 with honours degree and had been recommended by the administration to attend to the "Ankara Girls' Technical School High School". However, due to the circumstances she had not been able to attend there and instead she had to support her family through sewing. Her Engagement Ceremony Dress, her wedding dress, suits of her husband and all the dresses and coats of her children... She was a real artist. She used to spend her days and nights to work (to sew) for her lovelies. Her dream was to be a teacher, but she had seen that only her dreams until she passed away. Instead, she had guided us_my sister and I_ to be teachers. We are thankful and grateful to her also for that. We love our profession and try to be like her.
We pray to Allah to grant our strength to bear this loss though
no words can lessen the pain and grief we are
undergoing. Yet, we are very well aware that this was the only solution to end
the suffering of her. We pray, may the departed
soul rest in peace.
It was great to have wonderful mails from my dosts everywhere. Thank you all. I wanted to share a few. Love and peace...

My dearest
dearest Dost, I am so sorry to hear about your immense loss. Your Mum is
indeed with the angels now. You can rest assured that you were a good and
faithful daughter to her, through all the difficulties. You did all that
you could, and more. You loved your Mum deeply through her last moment on
this earth. I know how painful this is, Hayal. My Mum suffered
severe dementia and she went through a similar ending time, and I was with her
until the very end.
WIth great love and hugs to you and my Brother,

Dearest Hayal and
Servet,
I am late in coming to
put my "arms around you" and share in the grieving for the loss of
your mother. I can only imagine the
sadness. Losing my mother is one the the things I know will hurt to
the core and I know you must be feeling the same. I was fortunate to meet
your mother and experience her sweet spirit. The songwriter Irving Berlin
said: "The song is ended, but the melody lingers on." What she
has given to the people around her will live on.I send my prayers with
her and to you.
With love and blessings,
Leslie Janoe, USA
