Hessy's sister Dian passed away on April 4 in Jakarta after a courageous battle with cancer. I traveled in Turkey with Hessy and Dian in 2002. Dian exemplified the modern Indonesian woman - a competent careerwoman working for the United Nations and a strong-willed person comfortable in her Muslim faith. This is a photo of her looking pensive in Mevlana, home of Rumi and the whirling devishes. Dian and Hessy made a pilgrimage to Mecca a few years ago. I hope this scarf, which Dian bought during our journey in Turkey, kept her cool during the day and warm at night. I will miss her bright laughter and flirtatious smile.
