I just heard from Mazen that Hala has passed away....

Saint Jude

Hala Haddad

The Lady with the Devine Glow

(20 November 1979 - 26 July 2007)

After many years of battling against cancer... our beloved Hala's body gave in... And the angel of death has whisked her away to that world which lies beyond...

I for one... as I am sure all those whom have known Hala, will remember her love for life... she never let her ailment... No matter how grave... dampen her spirit... she was always full of life... and instilled that feeling in all those whom where around her... her divine smile was a miracle on its own... her smile was full of warmth... a warmth that would engulf the coldest of people... a smile that would make the most depressed person know what bliss truly means....

I will miss Hala dearly... I will miss her wit... I will miss her smart conversations... I will miss her divinely beautiful glow... Hala's lovely memory will remain with me, and I will miss her dearly, until the time I see her again on the other side....

In paradisum deducant te Angeli

"We all come from the Goddess and to Her we shall return like a drop of rain
falling to the ocean. We all come from the Horned One and through Him we are reborn corn and grain, corn and grain all that falls shall rise again"

" Journey on now, sister. We will follow when we can. May you be born again at
the same time and in the same place as those you knew and loved in this life.
May you know them again and love them again."

Today it rained in Beirut... Being the sentimental person that I am... I would like to think that even the heavens where shedding their tears for Hala
