| July, 1993 at age 77 working at Ecole Québec Musique loved by students and teachers |
Like a beacon of light
Across a century of life
Charged with character and love
Shining on five generations

A legend
A great grand daughter of a saint
Saint Joseph of Antioch and Damascus (1869)
A Royal Air Force Veteran
A 1946 United Nations Refugees and Rehabilitation contributor
A twenty-five years UN officer
A tender mother, wife and survivor of life’s absurdities
A fun, earnest, strong, hopeful and family woman
A child of God
An end of an era
So hard to describe

Mom has entered immortality

Pray for her departure to be gentle
And her voyage to be safe
Until in the hands of her Creator she lands
With all those she befriended
Whose lives God chose
Go in peace mama
Until we hug each other again (Listen to some of her favourite songs, below)
Rafik (for all of us)
