So many messages of love and support...so I will add only this. Although none of us are promised tomorrow, it seems most cruel to lose life's greatest gift. And if in the coming days, the place in your hearts once overflowing with love and laughter begins to scream with silence...especially then it will remain our hope that you remember that you are not alone. May Aleena rest forever in peace. Laura Brown and family

Tarek, while we have met maybe a handful of times, you and your wife are close to my heart during this time of inexplicable loss. I pray that my Jesus will make Himself known to you both and provide the comfort you need. You are not alone. Most will not know what to say, or especially, how to act, and may withdraw. Reach out to family, friends, colleagues, for support. Most of all, seek God, do not turn away, for it is only there that you will ever find peace in this trajedy. May God bless you both. xoxox ~Jocelyn
