On Sunday evening the family of Amin held a befitting memorial for him in Bellevue, Washington, USA. It was a most spiritual and dignified gathering. More than 500 family and friends attended and all stayed solemn and spiritual during a program that lasted more than 2 hours. In addition to beautiful and meaningful prayers, writings, messages of the Universal House of Justice and Bahá’í Committee for China, the program included a description of the Baha’i views on life of the soul after passing to the next world and a short biography of Amin. The most emotionally charged moments were when several of Amin’s friends shared their memories of him. His friend’s memories were full of joyful moments of their lives spent with Amin which brought tears and laughter to all who were present. A presentation of Amin’s picture from childhood to his last days in this earthly world was another highlight of this memorial. This meeting ended with a nice dinner, refreshment and fellowship. As we remember Amin as a dignified, spiritually susceptible, and meticulous person in all affairs of his life, this memorial was a befitting sign of the same qualities.
Below are some pictures of the memorial and Amin’s family and friends at this gathering.
