TRIBUTES
Dear Family,
Although I have only met Marc a handful of times I am so saddened to hear of his passing.
Marc had an air of mischievousness to him who enjoyed life and was truly devoted to his family especially his beloved mother, Salma.
It has not been an easy road for him and I know you have all individually tried to help him along the way. But sometimes life takes its course and we are left to reflect on the good and the bad times and hence we are gracious he is now sitting side by side his beloved mother Salma and smiling down on us saying “this is where I want to be”.
Will miss you.
May you rest in peace.
Amen

God bless your soul. Amen.

Dear Marc,
You left life too soon, but I trust that you enjoyed many moments of happiness in the years you had.
Now all the ups and downs of life are behind you, and you are with your dear mom. Without doubt, you both rest well in God’s love.
In life you were so close to your loving mother and she to you. What I know of you I learned mostly from her, my dear friend Salma. She loved you so much and shared the long and hard struggles through which you passed.
You also phoned me once in London – a call that took me by surprise. I understood from that call how much you still wanted to do in your life, and how fervently you were trying to re-balance your life.
Rarely does one manage to accomplish all that one sets out to do. I hope now that you can look back with contentment, you know that all of us who knew you, however briefly, will treasure good memories of you.
His pillar gone, so is the son.
May our dear Salma and Marc rest together in God’s peace and love.

Dear Marc,
We both met during a difficult and challenging part of our lives.
As we faced and fought our demons, our connection and bond grew.
I’ve always struggled taking initiative and making plans.
But you constantly made the effort to spend time with me and organize outings for us and our mutual friends.
You’ve made us feel welcome and appreciated at your home on countless occasions.
You were so kind, generous and compassionate with everyone around you.
A pure soul and a heart of gold, if I ever saw one.
Thank you for being an incredible part of my journey.
I’m going to miss you my dear friend, but I always remember and cherish the memories we had together.
My deepest and sincerest condolences to your family.
I pray and hope for the courage and strength for them to get through this.
God bless your soul and may you rest in eternal peace with your dearest mother Salma.

Dear Marc,
I am so shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. I have known you for a long time and despite not seeing you properly for some time, I feel like I have lost a member of my own family. I know life was not always easy, but, despite all the trials and tribulations, your heart remained open and generous and compassionate. I will always remember you, my friend.

Dear Elie
I am deeply saddened by this tragedy of losing your son shortly after losing our dear cousin Selma. Although we haven’t seen each other for a long time, I am nonetheless grieved by their loss and therefore remembering both Selma and Marc in my prayers and in the Divine Liturgy. Please extend my sincere condolences to Michelle, to Anis, Nadia, Noha and the entire family. May God comfort you as you grieve and may He rest their souls in peace.
