IN MEMORIAM
 


Indira Jaywant Maske -   1927 – 2003

Indira, the loving sister of Ruby and Victor Salve, passed away peacefully on the 26th. December, after suffering many years of ill health.  She was a loyal servant of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and a very loving and faithful friend to us all.  She will be sadly missed by so many people and especially her own family.  Her role in this life seemed to be that, although she never married and sacrificed her life for the service of others, she was the mother of all.  Indira left her home at the age of 18 to go to Bombay to take up nursing training, after which she worked there for 8 years. Then in 1960 she left for Saudi Arabia and worked as a nurse for ARAMCO. In 1961 Ruby also joined her there.  But Indira remained there for 30 years until she retired. She then went home and worked in Sadbhavana (which means Good Wish), which is a child day care unit set up by Ruby’s sister-in-law many years ago. Indira was loved by all the children, and by all who she helped throughout her life.  She never turned anyone away, and will be greatly remembered for her kindness, goodness and love for all.  …..”Let perpetual light shine upon her O Lord”.

 

                       

Lina Nathan nee Al Zabaneh - 1973 – 2003

Lina, the loving daughter of Joseph and Lily and devoted wife of Sami, sister of Amal, Zuhair, Hanan, and Nawal, passed away after a 10 month battle with cancer.  She was loved by us all, and even though she was a short time on this earth, she made a great impact on all who met her.  Lina had the face of an angel and she dedicated her life for the Lord in so many ways. She was very active in the Arabic Church, the Awali Interdenominational Church and the Word of Life Church.  She was president of The Woman’s Aglow Group for a time, which is a wonderful ministry to women. She was also a Sunday school teacher.  Lina will be remembered with love and affection and especially for her ‘Jesus Smile” which she wore at all times……..”Let perpetual light shine upon her O Lord”.
