Ciao Gas ,
ho ricevuto la tua mail che mi ha ricordato quanto gi` avevo tristemente
appreso .
Approfitto di questo tuo messaggio per contattarti , infatti , prima d'
ora mi dibattevo tra il desiderio di rispettare l' intimit` del tuo
dolore e la voglia di chiamarti e dirti quale profondo dispiacere mi ha
colpito , quando ho saputo che , tutto il tuo lottare per tenerti
stratta una persona cara , sia stato vano .
Nella speranza di non avere disturbato troppo la tua sfera personale ti
invio un sincero saluto .
Massimo

Carissimo Gas, ho ricevuto oggi una e-mail che non avrei mai voluto leggere. Non conoscevo tua moglie di persona, ma dalle tue parole avevo avuto l'impressione che fosse una donna "speciale". Sicuramente lo era per te. Ora sei solo, con le tue figliole.Fatevi coraggio; sicuramente c'è un piano a noi sconosciuto dove hanno senso anche queste cose per noi incomprensibili. Mi spiace che tutte le battaglie combattute da te e Paola non abbiano sortito gli effetti sperati. Sappi comunque che io e Chicca vi siamo estremamente vicini e siamo a vostra completa disposizione per qualunque esigenza possiate avere. Non ti telefonerò, non voglio disturbarti, ma uso questo impersonalissimo mezzo moderno per dirti, con tutto il cuore che ti sono vicino. Quando avrai modo, tempo, voglia e se ti potrà fare piacere fatti vivo. Ciao Piero

Dear Ghassan,
I tried to reach you on your mobile last week, but then had to learn that you 
were in Canada. My sincere condolations, my friend, to you and your whole 
family! When Mary send me the message last week I was shocked in the first 
place, as I was still under the impression that everything was moving forwards 
and not backwards. Taking the step into the next life is hard for all those that 
stay behind and were close to Paola. Whoever decides where someone has to live, 
(........  Private Part).

Dear Ghassan, 
I am very sorry for your your loss. 
I heard the sad news from Michel Toubia, my deepest and warmest condolences for the loss of your lovely wife, may she rest in peace. Unfortunately I never had
the chance to meet Paula. I viewed your pictures, and she looked to be a wonderful and loving person, I heard about her pain and suffering, and how she
courageously fought the battle, I do feel with you very much, my Mom had to fight cancer for a very long time. The most important is that you were together all the
way, and that's what count, your love is shared in sickness or health. 
I pray for you, for your children, and for the whole family, may God keep you all well, and keep her loving memory in your hearts for ever. 
Please accept my most deep and sincere condolences to you, and your lovely Daughters, may her memories live for ever. 
Sincerely 
Nassif Y. Burkhuch

Dear Ghassan,
We have just learnt the shocking news of Paola's death and though we never
met her, yet we are deeply sorry for your loss and for her daughters and
family, who loved her and cared for her and mainly for her at such a young
age. We pray for God to accept her in His kingdom and give her eternal
peace. May God give you all courage and strength to bear such a great loss
and God bless you all.
Our deep sympathy.

I wish I still did not know. I feel your grief and your family grief. Amal and I feel so sad. Paola was indeed a very special gracious human being. It is amazing that as I got your email I was just telling a colleague at work that life is a big joke played on us, the good, the bad, the ugly, the rich, the poor, the genius, the dumb, the achiever and the loser all ultimately die. One thing I find interesting about this life I read in a poem by I think a Serbian poet. He says:
Birthing is hard
Dying is mean
So get yourself a little loving in between.
Your love to your family Poala's love to you and to your kids and your friends love to you to her and to your family will remain forever. Ghassan, if you need any thing please do not hesitate to email or call.
Kisses and hugs to you to Rayya, Ranah, Poala's mom and her sisters.

Ghassan,

Juste un petit mot, forcément maladroit, que tu pourra lire à ton retour du Canada.
Nous voulions simplement te dire que nous pensons bien à toi et à tes
filles, tout comme nous pensons très fort à Paola.
En espérant avoir bientôt de tes nouvelles, avant peut-être de te voir chez Fadi & Dany.

Eric & Isabelle.

Subject:  about the big lost in your life
dear Gassan 
i am very sorry about what happen to your wife ... i never seen paola but i
was feeling that she was ver known from me and that she was one of my
family . from the first time i knew about her setuation i was praying all
the time for her .. but this is the life my freind so please accept my deep
condolences .

best regards 
fadel al halwachi ( Bahrain ) 

Denise Nassar just emailed me about Paola, and I guess Sona's phone message of two nights ago was to try to tell me that Paola had passed to the other side of life..... I was afraid when I heard Sona's message that it was about Paola.  May she rest in peace; no one, and least of all her, should suffer as much as she has.  I still dream of her, even after all the years that have passed, and my memories of Paola are some of the most cherished that I have.  No passing of time nor the war that has created the geographical distances between us will ever erace these memories.  I am so sorry for the pain that you, your daughters, and your families must feel; I am so sorry for the tremendous agony you all went through watching her battle courageously this vicous and brutal disease called cancer.

Please accept my most sincere condoleances.
My children, Kamal and Ziad, and I will do a prayer for you and for her tonight. May Paola's soul go directly to Paradise where I am sure a place is reserved for her, and may you and your daughters find the strength to endure the loss of your loved one.
We send you all our love,

Nadine Ghammache

Ghassan,
I heard the sad news about Paula from the AbouZeids.  I am very sorry.  It is
definitely hardest on you and the girls.  She is in peace now and in a better
place.
My condolences to you and the family.  Rabi' will want to talk to you.  He
should be arriving in San Francisco in few hours.  I will let him know.
Hope the future will never carry a similar pain.
