In August, Arif and his family came for a visit, and from that, some of Ammi's last pictures and recordings can be accessed here.
Please see her pictures over the years, and some of her favorites (click to enlarge once you get into the album, otherwise they will be too small on your screen). Here are excerpts from a notebook she kept as a teenager. Please post comments, and if you have pictures you would like to share, on her facebook page.
