About Noor's Heritage
“Everybody loved Nora”
Nancy Roberts, Friend
Noor’s family was loving, and she was particularly close to her younger brother Vilayat. Their father would often sing them to sleep – and to wake them up! He taught his children that kindness and religious tolerance were very important. While shy, quiet, and thoughtful, Noor was also playful and strong-willed. One of her friends described her as having “a lively intelligence and sense of fun”.
