It is with a sad and very heavy heart that I reprint a comment left earlier this evening.

Comment:
Dear All, Salama alykoum and peace be upon you. I just heard the news that our friend passed away last night (Sunday
28th Jan07). He has gone through 13 months of coma and all of us,,all over the globe were praying for his well being, and for his family in this tight situation. We are all sadened by the news. May we all pray for his soul to be blessed! Fouad Salik lightened so many hearts and put a smile on many many people’s faces. I only me him once in London about 5 years ago, and all I could say of him he was the sweetest and lented most intelligent person I have met.Please spare him prayers. Inna li Allahi was Inna Ilayhi Raje3oon.”
I only spoke to Fred on the phone, but he was one of the kindest and most helpful people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He spent a lot of time helping me sort out a problem with tickets bought from an airline consolidator, even going to far as to tell them I was his sister so they’d discuss the issue with him! I’m sorry I never got a chance to welcome him to our home in Morocco, I hope his family sees this and knows that they’re just as welcome. I’d like to hug his poor mother right now.
This was such a stupid and senseless death.

Omigod …. what was the motive? How awful! His poor family … his poor fiancee.

Click on that last link, it explains the lack of motive – he was just an innocent bystander. It’s just horrible, and I feel like kicking things. (Not my cats!)

Fred and I dated on and off for a few years. I was recently thinking about him and wondering whether or not he had gotten married and what had become of his life. I am truly saddened by the news of his death. He was an amazing and caring person full of life and laughter. My deepest condolences to his family.
To Fred:
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would bring you back.
May you rest in peace.
Love Always,
Lilly

Salamo alaikon. Sono ancora incredula con wuesta notizia , per caso ho trovato su Google. Fouad era sempre nei miei pensieri ed e sempre stato nel mio cuore. stranamente negli ultimi giorni sentivo molto la sua presenza al punto decisi di cercarlo su Google. e di consequenza trovo questa bruttissima notizia. Io nn voglio crederci, e la rabbia ancora di piu questo è successo un paio di anni fa… e ovviamente nn avrei potuto sapere ciò che e sucesso. Se solo lo avessi saputo molto prima, lascerei tutto per esserli vicina.
So che ad ha un fratello in Italia per lo meno mi raccontava negli anni 2000. Spero che possa ricevere questo messaggio e passarli le mie condoglianze a se e a tutta la famiglia, cosi anche Khalid che incontrai una volta a Los Angeles , ma non penso che si ricordera di me. Inna li Allahi was Inna Ilayhi Raje3oon.
