A Message From Abla
Words cannot express how overwhelmed, grateful and pleased I am that so many friends and family members called, e-mailed, and came to honor Faris' life and legacy on September 17. Your genuine expressions of sympathy, condolences and friendship on the untimely passing of a truly generous and talented human being, a man who gave of his friendship and loyalty freely and unconditionally, a man who so honored me by choosing me to spend his life with, will forever stay with me. I hope that you understand why I have not been able to personally reply to each phone message and e-mail that I have received since Faris' passing, but please know that I truly appreciate, and will always treasure, your support and friendship. -- Thank you, Abla
