Family pay loving tribute to plane crash victim<\/h3>\n
\"\"THE mother of a budding pilot who lost her life in a plane crash in America has urged parents to allow their children to follow their dreams<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Former stewardess Jaskinder Kaur Samra was a passenger in a single engine Cessna Skyhawk which crashed in Georgia, Tennessee on 24 September. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old died instantly along with American pilot Abraham George.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Jaskinder\u2019s parents Mindie and Baljit Samra had hoped to see their daughter return to the family home in Wolverhampton in the pilot\u2019s uniform that Jaskinder had dreamed of wearing since a little girl. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Instead the family were left devastated when news of the crash filtered through.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Last month Jaskinder was laid to rest, with hundreds of mourners wearing the orange and black of the trainee pilots beloved local football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, Jaskinder’s parents urged others to let their children follow their dreams – before it\u2019s too late. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“I wanted to see my daughter coming home in her uniform, I didn’t want her empty uniform to be sent back to us,” Mindie said.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no one in this world like our daughter. I\u2019m not saying that because she was our daughter, but it\u2019s the truth. She was amazing and made her dream come true. Every parent should let their child fulfil their dream, no matter how small or big because you never know what may happen.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Jaskinder\u2019s father, Baljit, said everyone his daughter had done the family proud.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud of my daughter; she did everything to make us happy and proud. She\u2019s always used to say dad \u2018I\u2019ll be coming home soon as a pilot\u2019, but my daughter\u2019s never coming home now,\u201d Baljit said. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Brother, Ranjit added: \u201cNot many people will achieve, or even get to see the places Jaskinder went to in their whole lifetime. My sister travelled the world. My sister has left with her head held up high, and has made her family and friends so proud.\u201d<\/div>\n
