until my words dont rhyme,
i'll always miss u,

now i live forward the day i see, my soul uniting in heaven with thee. RIP my love!!

Saying goodbye to Najah has been very hard. Najah and I shared many memories over the years we worked together.  We had many things in commong. 
Many of our colleagues have called to say how sad they were to hear the news of her passing.  She sure was a ray of sunshine that will always be with us.

Her Spanish Friend.

I just received the news today about Najah's passing, my deepest sympathies to all that were close and loved her.
I knew Najah from Industry Canada and she was wonderful to me all the time. We laughed a lot!
She will be missed.

Aptly named our Sunshine, you will forever be remembered as the light in our lives. Giorgio still kisses your pictures, and I will ensuer that Mikheala grows up to be as confident, gentle, and loving as her gorgeous great-aunt. You were such a huge source of power, inspiration, and love in my life. I can only thank you in my prayers for all you have meant to me. 
I thank God you are no longer suffering. I love you with everything in me. 
Mary (your Marmour)

We are so saddened by the news of Najah's passing.  She was such a beautiful person whose smile always lit up a room. Our deepest condolences to Melhem and the entire family.  May she rest in peace.

I worked with Najah over the years at Industry Canada and she really cared about the people she worked with and making the office a better place to work.  Najah was such a ray of light, lots of fun, and always positive.  I will miss her.

Camille and family, I'm so sorry to hear about your sisters passing. When a light so young is extinguished it diminishes us all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Tony and Karen Maiorino

It saddens me to read about the loss of your beloved Najah.  The picture you chose highlights her inner beauty and her zest for life.  She had the most gorgeous smile.  I would like to extend heartfelt condolences to the entire Mikhael and Ayoub families.  I wish for you all as gentle a grieving as possible.  May the deep love you have for each other pave the way to peace in your hearts.

Our deepest sympathies to Melhem (Mike) and all of the Ayoub and Mikhael families. Najah was our neighbor and friend; beautiful inside and out. She will be very missed.

Najah - only an angel would support a cousin through university, thank you for typing dad's uni assignments 30 years ago when he had no one else. You are an inspiration to women in our family. Please help me to be more like you. 

I will never forget our conversation last December. We spoke about your battle with cancer, the family prayers, we cried and then we hugged. You have built up a huge bank account in heaven, enjoy the first class trip there.

Love always,
Michleen Daoud Geagea

My sincere sympathies to Najah's family. I worked with Najah on and off since May 2000.  She was always smiling, always ready to give a helping hand.  She will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathies to Milhem and to all of the Mikhael family.  Najah was a beautiful person who left this world too early.  May all of the beautiful memories you have shared with her over the years make this time of deep sorrow a brighter and easier time for you all. That's the way she would have wanted it to be.  She is resting now and not suffering any longer - take comfort in that and in all of your shared, wonderful times together.

May she rest in peace.

Inshallah b'tslamouh & Allah aweekon.
Joe and Diana Aboud

With deepest sympathy to Mike and family.  
I have worked with Najah for over 12 years.   She was a great friend. She will be missed.

I lit a candle for you and thought beautiful thoughts of you.  I wanted to imagine you going, wherever you were going, with the same brightness and warm thoughts you spread here on earth.
Wishing you a smooth journey as you cross the bar my sweet classy lady. I will miss you.

Your friend always.

To the Ayoub Family
My deepest condolences for your loss.  I have known Naja for a few decades.  She was always the sunshine in the office, and I will remember her beautiful smile and outlook on life.  We will miss all her great stories of travelling and family get-togethers. A light has gone out on earth, but the heavens are alight with an exceptionally beautiful soul that will never die.

To Sally, Michael and the rest of the family: We are saddened by your loss and the passing of the beautiful Najah.  Out thoughts and prayers are with you. Lori , David and Max Burcsik - Ottawa, Ontario

My sincere condolences to the family. I used to work with Najah back in 1986.  Her smile was infectious..she was a beautiful woman inside and out. She will be greatly missed.

The good die young. The great die suffering. The best never leave at all. Your legacy for our generation and the generations we will teach keep you with us always. You are the best. May your memory be eternal.

Dear Mikhael and Ayoub Family,

We are so deeply saddened to hear the passing of Najah.  We were so lucky to know such a beautiful angel and be touched by her presence with her infectuous smile and laugh.  Naj loved live and everyone around her. She would light up the room with her energy and passion.  It is painful to know that Naj will no longer be with us on earth. The memories of get togethers, stories and laughs will not be forgotten.  You will be greatly missed.

May God take care of our angel in heaven.

Love you,

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you found peace beside our lord, but that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget especially your amazing smile and big Heart. 

Sympathies to a wonderfull family I have known for most of my life.

Aunty Najah, I have as yet to come across a person who does not describe you as the most loving, caring and warm person to have ever crossed their paths. You were an inspiration to many, and that amazing smile will be dearly missed. The entire family will carry you with us wherever we go. Love you so much Sunshine.

Very sad news !  I worked with Najah for some twenty years.  She was undoubtedly the spark and sunshine of the office.  I don`t recall having ever seen Najah without a smile.  She will certainly light up the heavens !!!

Sympathies to all her family.

Robert Maitre, St-Sauveur, Quebec

Camille and family,

I was so sad to hear the news about Najah. I first met Najah when I was small and my mother used to bring me into the office. From the first time I met Najah I said how nice of a person she was. When I would return to the office again i would immediately ask to go see her. She always made me feel welcomed and special. She made everyone feel special because she was a wonderful person, inside and out. She was a great friend of my mothers and my mother could never say enough great things about her. Please accept my deepest condolences. Najah will be sorely missed.

To Melhem, the Mikhaels, and Friends

My deepest condolences on our loss of such a vibrant, energetic and proud woman. Her days with us were very short, but they were full of accomplishments, good deeds and passion. I will never forget her loving voice and smile. She will always be fondly remembered.

I was so sorry to hear today of Najah's passing.  I worked with Najah (and earlier with Camille) and got to chat with her a bit two years ago while we were both doing radiation treatments.

To her family, my deepest sympathies.  She was a lovely person and will be sorely missed.

Dear Camille, Helena and family,

No words can express our sadness at the loss of a beautiful person. She was always smiling, full of energy and always welcoming. Najah will be remembered.

God bless you all.

Your friends, Vanessa and Charles

The moments we had in this life will always be cherished. How big your heart was to love so many people! "The greatest of all these is love" 1 Corinthians 13:13. God has prepared a special house for you, so that your love will shine on Heaven and Earth.

Camille and family.

We are so sad to hear of Naj's passing.  Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers.

We will never forget that shiny face, that beautiful smile and that big heart, Naja , we will never forget you.
 
Ayoub family, we share with you the sorrow, the pain and the big loss

Melhem, Emm Melhem, Hala, grandfather, uncles, aunties, cousins, and friends.

My deepest and sincere sympathies for the loss of our beautiful sunshine. I raise my head high for being Naj first nephew and for being one of her best friend. Naj taught me a lot in life and I hope to be able to carry some of her good qalities. Her smile, positive attitude, love to the family, love to her friends, love to the kids, love to her god children were unique and undescribable.     

To Naj I say
You have shown me how to live, how to be honest, and you have shown me how to be truly happy. I want you to know that every time I smile, you have put it there. You make me smile when others can't, you make me feel warm when I am cold. 
You have shown us all  so much love and so much more. I want you to know how much you mean to me, to Sarah, and to my family. You are our whole world and we love you with all our hearts. You are our happiness. 
Since you left us,  I framed a photo of you and put it on my desk.  When I enter the house, I look at your beautiful smile and  I kiss your happy face. 
Sunshine,  Hug Taita for me and remind her how much I love her.
Sunshine, You make heaven a happier place. As I cannot imagine my life without you, I am so much looking forward to join you.
I love you, I dream of you.
You broke my heart aunty
Until we meet
George  

PS. You god child Eliana sends you many kisses.

My sincere condolences to the family.  I used to work with Najah and she always had a smile for you.  She will be greatly missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Mikhael family,

Our condolences go out to a wonderful family. It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a special person. 

Naj was a beautiful person, inside and out, and she will be sorely missed by so many.

God bless you and your family.

We are very sorry for your loss, please know your family will be kept in our thoughts and prayers.

To Uncle Melhem, Sweet Hala and family,

Our most sincere condolences on the loss of your sunshine, Tante Najah!  May you all find peace and comfort in the warm and comforting embrace of our Lord Jesus!

I was very very sorry to hear of Najah's passing. We worked together for a few years and she was always the brightest positive light of the group. Her focus energy and commitment were an example to all.  My heartfelt condolances to her family - we were all so fortunate to have felt the warmth of her light on earth.

I love the picture you chose of Najah. I worked with Najah for many years at Industry Canada and for a time she was even my supervisor.  That smile was on her face every single day she came in.  Her hair straight or curly, it was always a surprise, the classy clothes and high heels.  She was a beautiful person inside and out.  She never tired of talking about her nieces and nephews and was a good story teller.  I was so sorry to hear the sad news today.  I know she'll be greatly missed by her family, but also by everyone whose lives she touched over the years.

Dear cousin Melhem, I am very saddened by Najah's passing. My sincere condolences and deepest sympathies to you and the rest of the family.

To Elias Mikhael and his family,

My heart and prayers are with you.  My deepest sympathies.

My family's thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  I still remember your generosity and kindness from our days on Sherbrook Ave.  Najah always made my brothers and I fee like we were part of your great family.  Those memories will be with me forever.

God Bless you all,

Tony Cotroneo and Family.

We had the pleasure of seeing Najah in June at her niece's dance recital. Najah was so happy to be there and had this smile on her face from ear to ear. That was Najah, never without a beautiful smile on her lovely face. She was always filled with laughter and love. That's how we will always remember her. May she rest in peace.

We very sory for your lose. She was a beautiful ladies full of energy. she will be missed very much.
May she rest in peace.
Allah yourhama.

It was wonderful to have Najah as a co-worker. She was kind, co-operative and friendly.  I particularly miss our lunch hour card games.  My condolences to her family.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. May her memory always be a comfort & a blessing to you. Allah yerhama

The thought of never seeing that amazing smile or hearing that contagious laugh still doesn't feel real. I take comfort in knowing you are now at peace and no longer suffering. 
I hope you know how much you have inspired me and touched my life. I will never forget the life lessons you instilled in me and the support and belief you had in me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that and so much more. 
Your words of wisdom and guidance run over and over in my mind and will never be forgotten.
I love you so much Sunshine and I will miss you always.

I worked with Najah for several years.  Gee, going back to the early 80's.  Always thought she was such a classy lady and full of life.  She was so upbeat and brave these last few years.  We miss her terribly but we have comfort in knowing she is now at peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Najah was a princess who always helped her co-workers with her lovely smile and warm laughter. Condolences to her loved ones.

Najah, you brought sunshine in my work days.  God bless you.

Dear Naj,

You were an angel on earth and now you have taken your rightful place as an angel in heaven. Your smile will never fade and your joy for life will be passed on by those you have touched.

I will miss you dearly,and our "girl dinners" will never be the same. But we will come together and celebrate you and keep your memory alive.

You will forever be in our hearts. It has been an honour.

My dearest Naj,

As we all sit here in silence, as words seem inadequate to express our sorrow, we long for one more day, one more smile, one more laugh. We may never understand why it is you left this earth so soon, but little by little, we begin to realize that God has his reasons. 

You lived a life so full and vibrant and made everyone around you live in that same manner, and this is why your legacy will continue on in all of us. Your smile was contagious, you are a true inspiration, one of a kind and it was an absolute honour to have known and been close to you for all these years. 

Thank you for giving us memories that are too beautiful to ever forget. 

No more pain, no more suffering, just rest and be at peace, you deserve it.

Forever in my heart, love you always, beautiful...

In loving memory of a beautiful person. I will never forget how your smile lit up the room. We will love you and miss you always. In our thoughts and prayers forever. Rest in peace Naj.

Our deepest and sincere sympathies. We feel your pain for loosing such a beautiful person.
Maroun Absi and Family

I will love you always forever, you will always be my sunshine and I will always be your Sunny! You are forever in my heart Sweet Angel:)

To the Ayoub, Mikhael and Daoud families,

We are deeply saddened by Najah's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.  May God grant you the strength in this time of sorrow.  Let the love of those around you help comfort you through the days ahead.

May she rest in peace.

Sweet Tante Naj, it must be beautiful where you are. No more struggles just peace, just happiness. You were taken too soon and you will always be remembered so vibrant and youthful. The Lord works in mysterious ways, He must have needed another angel by his side. We love you.

LOVE YOU VERY MUCH BLONDIE !!!!  Your God son  J.D.

Sleep well, sweet angel. We're the only ones that feel pain now. Memories of your beautiful smile will be with us always.
