Toh Puan Nor Ashikin An Examplary Woman

Allahyarhamah begitu setia membantu suaminya Tun Dr Ismail bekas Timbalan Perdana Malaysia. Allahyarhamah kerap pergi menunaikan umrah selama sebulan penuh apabila tibanya  Bulan Ramadhan setiap tahun. Saya pernah bersua dengan Allayarhamah di Hotel Zahrah Mekkah sekitar tahun 90an semasa bulan Ramadhan.  Semoga Allah memasukkan roh Allahyarhamah ke dalam golongan mereka yang dikasihi dan disayangi Allah.  Amin Ya Rabbul A'lamin.
