To Aida Metni El Khazen
Our beloved mother, wife, sister and friend
You have dedicated your life to us, to your friends
and to your work. You wore so many hats to cater
for numerous roles and you did them all perfectly.
You always went the extra mile to accommodate
for any request with an open heart that was so
large it could take them all.
You will always be in our hearts and memories.
You look back on memories you forgot you had,
And at times you’ll smile even though it hurts so bad.
Thank you mother- for all that you have done,
You took great care of us, husband, daughter and son
You loved us all from the very start,
with your warm, kind, and loving heart.
Thank you mother, for being strong,
while trying to teach us right from wrong.
If anytime, we had a problem,
you were there to help us solve them.
You were such a great wife and mother,
the love you showed was like no other.
Thank you Aida for your dear, sweet love,
Now you’ll watch over us from heaven above.
Samir, Karim

A Note to Aida from her closest friends
I guess words will not be enough to remember my
late dearest friend Aida. We used to be longtime
friends since childhood, growing up together,
going to the same school and later to AUB. She
was devoted and faithful to her family ,parents and
friends. She would go beyond all personal consid-
eration for whatever was helpful for others .
She left us too soon unfortunately. Her memory
will always be cherished by all of us.
May God bless her soul for ever.

Que puis-je dire a Ayouda?
Mon amie, ma sœur, ma confidente.
Ma mère lui disait tu es ma cinquième fille , car on
était très proche, très liée depuis l’age de dix ans.
On a fait un long chemin ensemble, confidences,
fous rires, sorties.
C’etait une sœur genereuse pleine de sentiments,
s’occupant de tout le monde; famille, amis, grands
et petits.
Pour moi elle est en voyage mais je sais que je la
reverrai et qu’on continuera notre chemin.
